If you have browsed lots of websites, you've probably come across some error message now and again. An error may take place in case the web hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so that you can see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't permitted to access a webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that is not on the web server (Error 404). Getting this kind of messages can often be frustrating since the pages don't have anything in common with the actual website. That’s why some web hosting service providers permit you to use your own error pages that will match the layout of your own Internet site and that could have any content that you'd like - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to handle it or even some amusing remark. This kind of feature can help you keep the visitor on the site no matter the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Website Hosting
The personalized error pages feature is provided with every shared website hosting plan we offer and you shall be able to swap all generic pages with your own with no more than several clicks inside your Hepsia hosting CP. You will have to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a given domain or subdomain using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can do this for each and every web site hosted inside the account separately, so that every group of custom pages shall have the exact same layout as the site it's part of. If needed, you could always go back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. A different way to set custom made 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 needed code from our Help article about the subject.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All Linux semi-dedicated packages that we supply support personalized error pages and it will not take more than several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to use this function. The option is included in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel where you'll have to input the links to the custom-made files via basic drop-down menus and a time and effort saving interface. Keep in mind, you need to upload them inside your account before that. In case you don't need to use this function at some point, you can disable it just as easily and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be shown when your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you can also use an .htaccess file to permit the custom error pages. The file should contain a specific line of code as well as a link for each and every error type and you may find an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
