If you have browsed loads of websites, you've probably come across some error message now and again. An error can occur in case the web hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so as to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't permitted to access some page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that isn't on the server (Error 404). Encountering this kind of messages can sometimes be frustrating as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting companies permit you to apply your own error pages that will match the layout of your own website and that can have any content that you would like - info why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to proceed or even some amusing comment. Such a function will help you keep the visitor on the website regardless of the error or the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting

You shall be able to set up customized error pages for any of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all cloud hosting plans that we provide, so once you log in to your Hepsia CP and navigate to the Hosted Domains section, you may click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up which will be displayed, you may choose the type of error page which should show up - a default one from our system, a standard Apache web server page or a custom one. For the last mentioned option, you must assign the URL to the page, so when you use custom pages, you have to upload the files inside your web hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file located inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for every error type. The precise syntax can be located in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this function even if you don't have any previous experience.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting that we offer support custom made error pages and it shall not take more than a few clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to use this function. The option can be found in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel in which you'll have to type in the links to the custom-made files through basic drop-down menus and an easy to use interface. Keep in mind, you should upload them in your account before that. In case you do not want to use this function at some point, you will be able to deactivate it just as fast and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be displayed when your visitors encounter an error. If you'd prefer, you could also use an .htaccess file to enable the customized error pages. The file needs to contain a particular line of code and a link for every error type and you may find an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
