If you have checked out a lot of sites, you've probably come across some error message now and again. An error may take place when the web server can't process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so as to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not permitted to access a webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that isn't on the server (Error 404). Encountering this sort of messages may often be frustrating because the pages don't have anything in common with the actual site. That’s why some web hosting companies permit you to set your own error pages which will match the layout of your own website and which could have any content that you'd like - details why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to handle it or even some witty comment. This sort of feature shall help you keep the visitor on the site irrespective of the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Website Hosting

You'll be able to set up personalized error pages for each of your sites effortlessly if you use any of our website hosting. This can be done from the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, provided with all accounts as soon as you go there, you could set your custom made pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You must upload the files to your account beforehand and enter the links to them during the process. This feature could be de-activated whenever you want and the options you will be able to pick from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache server page. Custom made error pages can be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it should contain some system code and links to the pages. If you aren't tech-savvy, you can copy the entire content needed for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

Adding your personal pages for each of the four error types to any website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with us will be really basic and will not take more than a couple of clicks. Once you upload the files inside your account, you can check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia CP and edit each of the domains and subdomains listed there through an intuitive interface with drop-down menus. You can select what page should appear for each error type. The choices are a default Apache server page or a page from our system, and custom made pages. In case you select the abovementioned option, you have to type the link to every single page inside your account, then save the change. The link or the sort of page which shows up if a user encounters an error can be changed whenever you want. If you are more experienced, you could use an .htaccess file to set custom error pages too, as opposed to using our integrated generator software tool, and in case you choose this option, the file must be positioned inside the root directory of a particular domain or subdomain.
