If you have looked at lots of websites, you've probably encountered some error message every now and then. An error can occur when the server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not able to access a page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that isn't on the server (Error 404). Receiving such messages may sometimes be frustrating since the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some website hosting providers allow you to set your own error pages that'll match the layout of your own Internet site and that can have any content that you want - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to handle it or even some humorous remark. Such a function can help you keep the visitor on the site regardless of the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Website Hosting
The personalized error pages function is provided with each shared website hosting package which we offer and you shall be able to swap all generic pages with your own with no more than several mouse clicks from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. You'll have to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a specific domain or subdomain through the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can easily do this for every website hosted inside the account separately, so that every set of custom pages shall have the same design and style as the site it is part of. When necessary, you could always revert back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. A different way to set custom error pages is to create an .htaccess file in the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you have never done this before, you could simply copy the required program code from our Help article about the subject.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account from us, you can set tailor-made error pages for each of them effortlessly through our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP. With just a couple of clicks inside the Hosted Domains section, you are able to modify the default setting from a system page to a customized one for any of the four error types. All you should do is provide a link to each and every file that you've uploaded before that and then save the change. If required, you'll be able to revert this modification whenever you want and in exactly the same way. If you'd like, you could use an .htaccess file too. It must be created/uploaded within the domain or subdomain folder related to the site whose error pages you would want to alter and the content for such a file can be found in our Help article on this matter.
