If you have looked at loads of sites, you've probably stumbled upon some error message now and again. An error could occur if the website hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not permitted to access a page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file which 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 site. That’s why some website hosting providers permit you to apply your own error pages that'll match the layout of your own site and which may have any content which you'd like - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion what you can do or even some humorous comment. This type of function will help you keep the visitor on the site whatever the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Shared Web Hosting

The custom error pages feature is provided with each shared web hosting package deal we offer and you shall be able to substitute all of the generic pages with your own with no more than a few clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. You will need to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a specific domain or subdomain through the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You may do this for each website hosted in the account separately, so that each group of custom made pages shall have the exact same design and style as the website it's part of. When necessary, you could always return back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. One other way to set customized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you have never done this before, you can simply copy the needed program code from our Help article on the subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All of our semi-dedicated hosting services support personalized error pages, so you shall be able to employ this feature for each and every domain or subdomain hosted in your account. All it will take to do that is to go to the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP, to click on the Edit button associated with the specific domain/subdomain and then to input the link to the custom file. You'll be able to do this independently for every error type. You will be able to switch back to a default error page whenever you want if needed and the change will take effect at once. A different way to achieve the exact same result is to set an .htaccess file inside the domain or subdomain folder associated with the Internet site that you'd like to edit and to input a couple of lines of program code within it. If you want to try this method, you could copy and paste the needed code from our Knowledge Base article on custom error pages, hence you will not need any programming skills or prior experience.
