If you have browsed loads of sites, you've probably encountered some error message every now and then. An error could take place if the server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in in order to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access some webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that isn't on the web server (Error 404). Getting this type of messages can often be aggravating as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting providers allow you to apply your own error pages that will match the style of your own Internet site and that may have any content which you want - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to proceed or even some amusing remark. This type of function can help you keep the visitor on the site irrespective of the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Hosting
The customized error pages function is available with every single hosting plan which we offer and you will be able to replace all of the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting CP. You will have to develop the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a specific domain or subdomain using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can do this for each and every website hosted inside the account independently, so that each set of custom made pages will have the exact same style and design as the Internet site it is part of. When necessary, you can always revert back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. Another way to set personalized error pages is to create an .htaccess file in the domain/subdomain root folder and to add a few lines in it. If you have never done this before, you may simply copy the necessary code from our Help article about this.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account with us, you can set custom error pages for each of them with ease through our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just several mouse clicks inside the Hosted Domains section, you are able to change the default setting from a system page to a custom made one for any of the four error types. All you must do is provide a link to every single file that you have uploaded before that and then save the change. If needed, you'll be able to revert this change anytime and in exactly the same way. If you want, you could use an .htaccess file too. It should be created/uploaded in the domain or subdomain folder related to the internet site whose error pages you want to change and the content for this sort of file can be found in our Help article on this matter.
