If you have looked at lots of websites, you have probably stumbled upon some error message from time to time. An error may occur if the web hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so that you can see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access a webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which isn't on the web server (Error 404). Getting this sort of messages can sometimes be annoying as the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting providers permit you to apply your own error pages which will match the design of your own website and that may have any content which you would like - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion what you can do or even some funny remark. This sort of feature will help you keep the visitor on the site regardless of the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Web Hosting

You will be able to set up custom error pages for all of your Internet sites without difficulty if you use any of our Linux web hosting plans. This can be done using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with all accounts as soon as you go there, you'll be able to set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account before you start and enter the links to them during the process. This feature may be de-activated whenever you want and the options you shall be able to to pick from are a conventional page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Customized error pages could be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be placed in the domain or subdomain folder and it should contain some system code and links to the pages. If you are not tech-savvy, you may copy the whole content needed for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All of the semi-dedicated plans that we offer support customized error pages and it will not take more than several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to use this feature. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel in which you will have to enter the links to the custom-made files through simple drop-down menus and an easy to use interface. Keep in mind, you should upload them in your account before that. In case you don't want to employ this function at some point, you can disable it just as fast and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be displayed when your visitors encounter an error. If you'd prefer, you could also use an .htaccess file to activate the custom made error pages. The file has to include a specific line of code as well as a link for every single error type and you can find an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
