If you have checked out loads of websites, you've probably come across some error message from time to time. An error may occur in case the hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so that you can see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access a page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the website hosting server (Error 404). Receiving this sort of messages could sometimes be annoying as the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual website. That’s why some hosting providers allow you to set your own error pages which will match the style of your own website and that 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 comment. Such a feature shall help you keep the visitor on the website regardless of the error or the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Hosting

The custom error pages feature is available with each hosting package we offer and you shall be able to substitute all generic pages with your own with no more than just a few clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. You shall have to develop the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a given domain or subdomain from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can easily do this for every Internet site hosted inside the account individually, so that each set of custom made pages shall have the same design and style as the Internet site it is part of. When necessary, you may always go back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. A different way to set personalized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you never done this before, you can simply copy the required program code from our Help article about this.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All semi-dedicated plans that we provide support custom error pages and it will not take more than several mouse clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this feature. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel in which you'll have to enter the links to the custom-made files via very simple drop-down menus and a user-friendly interface. Of course, you should upload them in your account before that. In case you do not need to use this function at some point, you will be able to deactivate it just as fast and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be displayed if your visitors encounter an error. If you prefer, you can also use an .htaccess file to permit the personalized error pages. The file should contain a particular line of code and a link for each error type and you can discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
