If you have browsed loads of websites, you have probably encountered some error message once in a while. An error can take place in case the website hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so that you can 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 isn't on the server (Error 404). Getting this type of messages can sometimes be frustrating because the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual website. That’s why some hosting companies permit you to apply your own error pages that will match the design of your own site and which could have any content which you would like - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to handle it or even some funny remark. This kind of feature will help you keep the visitor on the website regardless of the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Website Hosting
The customized error pages function is available with every single shared website hosting plan we offer and you shall be able to swap the generic pages with your own with no more than a few clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting CP. You will have to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a given domain or subdomain through the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can do this for every single web site hosted inside the account independently, so that each set of customized pages shall have identical design as the site it is part of. When necessary, you can always go back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. One other way to set custom made 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 code from our Help article about this.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of the Linux semi-dedicated servers that we provide support custom made error pages and it shall not take more than a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to use this function. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your CP where you will need to type in the links to the custom-made files using simple drop-down menus and a user-friendly interface. Of course, you need to upload them inside your account before that. If you do not want to employ this function at some point, you will be able to disable it just as fast and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be shown if your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you could also use an .htaccess file to permit the personalized error pages. The file needs to include a specific line of code and a link for each error type and you may discover an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
