If you have looked at many Internet sites, you have probably stumbled upon some error message once in a while. An error can occur in case the web server can't process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so as to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't able to access a page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that is not on the server (Error 404). Encountering this type of messages could often be annoying as the pages have nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some website hosting service providers permit you to use your own error pages that will match the style of your own site and that can have any content which you would like - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to proceed or even some humorous remark. Such a feature will help you keep the visitor on the website regardless of the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Web Hosting
The customized error pages feature is provided with every single web hosting package deal which we offer and you will be able to swap the generic pages with your own with no more than several mouse clicks from your Hepsia website hosting CP. You'll have to create 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 may do this for each and every site hosted inside the account separately, so that each set of custom made pages will have identical style and design as the site it is part of. If needed, you may always return back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. An alternate way to set custom made 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 can simply copy the necessary code from our Help article about this.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your web sites in a semi-dedicated server account from us, you'll be able to set custom made error pages for any of them with ease through our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only a few clicks in the Hosted Domains section, you are able to change the default setting from a system page to a tailor-made one for each of the 4 error types. All you should do is provide a link to every file that you have uploaded before that and then save the change. If needed, you'll be able to revert this customization at any time and in exactly the same way. If you wish, you may use an .htaccess file as well. It should be created/uploaded within the domain or subdomain folder belonging to the internet site whose error pages you would want to change and the content for this kind of file can be found in our Help article on this matter.
