If you have looked at lots of sites, you've probably stumbled upon some error message from time to time. An error can take place in case the web hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in in order to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't permitted to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which isn't on the hosting server (Error 404). Getting this sort of messages could sometimes be aggravating since the pages don't have anything in common with the actual site. That’s why some hosting service providers allow you to apply your own error pages that'll match the layout of your own website and which could have any content which you would like - information why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to proceed or even some amusing remark. This type of function can help you keep the visitor on the website irrespective of the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Web Hosting

The custom made error pages function is provided with each and every web hosting package deal we offer and you'll be able to swap all of the generic pages with your own with no more than just a few mouse clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting CP. You will need to produce 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 CP. You may do this for each and every Internet site hosted in the account independently, so that each set of customized pages shall have the exact same layout as the Internet site it is part of. When necessary, you may always go back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. An alternate 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 not done this before, you could simply copy the required program code from our Help article about this.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

Adding your personal pages for each of the 4 error types to any site hosted through a semi-dedicated server account with us shall be very basic and won't take more than a couple of mouse clicks. After you upload the files inside your account, you can navigate to the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and edit the domains and subdomains listed there through an intuitive interface with drop-down navigation. You could choose what page should appear for each and every error type. Your options are a standard Apache web server page or a page from our system, and custom pages. Should you choose the abovementioned option, you need to input the link to every page inside your account, then save the change. The link or the kind of page that will be displayed when a user encounters an error can be changed anytime. In case you are more experienced, you could use an .htaccess file to set personalized error pages as well, as opposed to using our integrated generator software tool, and should you select this option, the file has to be positioned in the root directory of a particular domain or subdomain.
