If you have looked at many sites, you've probably stumbled upon some error message now and again. An error could occur in case the server can't process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in in order to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't able to access some webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that is not on the website hosting server (Error 404). Receiving this type of messages could often be frustrating as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual site. That’s why some website hosting companies permit you to use your own error pages which will match the design of your own site and which can have any content that you'd like - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to proceed or even some humorous remark. Such a feature can help you keep the visitor on the website whatever the error or the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting

You'll be able to set up custom error pages for any of your websites easily if you use any of our Linux cloud hosting packages. This can be done from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP, offered with all accounts and once you go there, you could set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You have to upload the files to your account beforehand and enter the links to them during the process. This function can be de-activated at any time and the options you'll be able to pick from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Tailor-made error pages can be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it must contain some system code and links to the pages. If you aren't tech-savvy, you may copy the entire content needed for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Including your personal pages for each of the four error types to any Internet site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with us will be very simple and won't take more than a few mouse clicks. When you upload the files in your account, you can navigate to the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and edit any of the domains and subdomains listed there using an intuitive interface with drop-down menus. You could select what page should display for every error type. The alternatives are a standard Apache server page or a page from our system, and tailor-made pages. In case you pick the last option, you need to type the link to every page in your account, then save the change. The link or the sort of page that will be shown in case a user encounters an error can be changed anytime. If you're more experienced, you may use an .htaccess file in order to set customized error pages too, instead of using our integrated generator software tool, and if you select this option, the file should be positioned inside the root directory of a given domain or subdomain.
