If a page on your site does not load, an error message will be shown to the website visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that'll appear, but what's typical for all of them is that they're generic and probably shall have practically nothing in common with the layout of your Internet site, which can be frustrating for any visitor. This is the main reason why web hosting providers have introduced a function called Custom Error Pages. For a variety of different errors, website visitors will see your unique content, which could be informative or funny, based on your taste, and which will match the overall design and style of your site, so the pages won't look like they're not part of your site at all. You may use this option for a number of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

You shall be able to set up personalized error pages for any of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all shared hosting solutions which we offer, so after you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and go to the Hosted Domains section, you can easily click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that"ll show up, you may choose the sort of error page which should show up - a default one from our system, a standard Apache web server page or a customized one. For the latter alternative, you must assign the URL to the page, so if you use customized pages, you should upload the files in your website hosting account first. An alternative way is to use an .htaccess file placed in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each and every error type. The exact syntax can be found in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this feature even if you don't have any previous experience.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Of course, you need to upload them inside your account before that. In case you do not want to use this function at some point, you can easily deactivate it just as easily and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable when your visitors encounter an error. If you'd prefer, you could also use an .htaccess file to activate the custom error pages. The file should contain a specific line of code and a link for every single error type and you can easily discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
