If you have checked out loads of websites, you've probably come across some error message every now and then. An error may take place if the web server can't process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so as to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not able to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which isn't on the website hosting server (Error 404). Getting this type of messages may sometimes be aggravating because the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some website hosting service providers permit you to set your own error pages which will match the design of your own Internet site and which may have any content that you'd like - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion what you can do or even some funny remark. This kind 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 personalized error pages function is available with each shared web hosting plan that we offer and you'll be able to replace the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You'll need to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a specific domain or subdomain using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You could do this for each website hosted inside the account separately, so that each group of customized pages will have the same style and design as the site it's part of. If required, you could always go back to a default page from our system or to the 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 add a few lines in it. If you have not done this before, you may simply copy the necessary program code from our Help article on this subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Adding your pages for each of the 4 error types to any web site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with us shall be very simple and will not take more than several clicks. As soon as you upload the files to your account, you can check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia CP and edit any of the domains and subdomains listed there through an intuitive interface with drop-down menus. You can choose what page should display for every error type. The alternatives are a default Apache web server page or a page from our system, and customized pages. If you pick the last option, you must input the link to every page in your account, then save the change. The link or the type of page which will be displayed in case a user encounters an error can be changed at any time. In case you’re more experienced, you may use an .htaccess file to set custom made error pages as well, rather than using our integrated generator software instrument, and should you select this option, the file must be placed in the root directory of a given domain or subdomain.
