If you have browsed lots of sites, you have probably stumbled upon some error message now and again. An error could take place in case the website hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in so that you can see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't able to access a webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that is not on the web server (Error 404). Receiving such messages can often be frustrating as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual site. That’s why some website hosting providers permit you to set your own error pages that'll match the layout of your own Internet site and that can have any content which you want - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to proceed or even some witty comment. This kind of function shall help you keep the visitor on the site whatever the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Web Hosting
You can set up custom error pages for each of your websites without difficulty if you use any of our web hosting. This can be done through the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with all accounts and when you go there, you'll be able to set your customized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You must upload the files to your account beforehand and input the links to them through the process. This feature may be de-activated whenever you want and the options you'll be able to pick from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache server page. Personalized error pages may be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it must include some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you could copy the entire content necessary for the file from our Help section.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account from us, you'll be able to set custom made error pages for each of them easily via our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just several clicks in the Hosted Domains section, you can change the default setting from a system page to a tailor-made one for each of the four error types. All you should do is provide a link to every single file that you have uploaded before that and then save the change. If needed, you shall be able to revert this modification at any time and in exactly the same way. If you wish, you can use an .htaccess file too. It must be created/uploaded within the domain or subdomain folder belonging to the site whose error pages you intend to modify and the content for such a file can be found in our Help article about this matter.
