If you have browsed a lot of websites, you have probably encountered some error message every now and then. An error may occur if the web server can't process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so that you can see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't permitted to access a webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that is not on the hosting server (Error 404). Receiving this sort of messages may sometimes be irritating since the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting companies permit you to set your own error pages that will match the design of your own site and which could have any content that you'd like - details why the error has appeared, a suggestion what you can do or even some amusing comment. This kind of feature will help you keep the visitor on the site whatever the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Hosting

You will be able to set up custom made error pages for all of your Internet sites easily if you use any of our Linux hosting plans. This can easily be done from the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and once you go there, you could set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You must upload the files to your account beforehand and input the links to them during the process. This feature can be de-activated anytime and the options you'll be able to select from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache server page. Personalized error pages may be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it should include some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you may copy the whole content you'll need for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All of the semi-dedicated plans that we provide support customized error pages and it shall not take more than a few clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this feature. The option can be found in the Hosted Domains section of your CP where you will need to input the links to the custom-made files using basic drop-down menus and a user-friendly interface. Needless to say, you should upload them in your account before that. If you do not want to employ this function at some point, you can disable it just as quickly and choose an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be shown if your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you may also use an .htaccess file to permit the personalized error pages. The file has to have a specific line of code as well as a link for every error type and you can discover an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
