If you have browsed loads of sites, you've probably stumbled upon some error message once in a while. An error could occur if the hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so that you can see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that is not on the website hosting server (Error 404). Getting such messages may often be annoying because the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some website hosting providers permit you to set your own error pages which will match the design of your own website and which may have any content that you'd like - details why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to proceed or even some witty comment. Such a function will help you keep the visitor on the website no matter the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Shared Web Hosting

You'll be able to set up custom made error pages for all of your Internet sites effortlessly if you use any of our shared web hosting plans. This can be done from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts and when you go there, you could set your custom pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account before you start and input the links to them during the process. This function may be de-activated at any time and the options you shall be able to to choose from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache server page. Customized error pages may be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be placed in the domain or subdomain folder and it should incorporate some system code and links to the pages. If you are not tech-savvy, you could copy the entire content required for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers

All of the semi-dedicated plans which we offer support personalized error pages and it will not take more than a few clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to use this function. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel in which you will have to type in the links to the custom-made files using simple drop-down menus and a time and effort saving interface. Of course, you should upload them in your account before that. In case you don't want to employ this feature at some point, you could deactivate it just as easily and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable if your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you can also use an .htaccess file to allow the custom made error pages. The file should include a particular line of code as well as a link for every error type and you may discover an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
