Custom Error Pages
Take a plunge into website error pages. Learn when they appear and why you need to set up your individual custom error pages.
If you have checked out many websites, you have probably encountered some error message now and again. An error can take place in case the web hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so as to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't permitted to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that is not on the hosting server (Error 404). Encountering this sort of messages may sometimes be annoying as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual site. That’s why some web hosting companies allow you to apply your own error pages that will match the style of your own site and which may have any content that you'd like - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to handle it or even some amusing comment. This type of function will help you keep the visitor on the website whatever the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Web Hosting
You can set up custom error pages for each of your websites effortlessly when you use any of our Linux shared web hosting packages. This could be done using the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all accounts as soon as you go there, you can set your custom made pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account before you start and enter the links to them during the process. This feature could be de-activated at any time and the options you'll be able to select from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache server page. Custom error pages may be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it should incorporate some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you can copy the whole content required for the file from our Help section.
