Custom Error Pages
Find out what a Custom Error Page is, what function does it serve and ways to set one.
If you have checked out a lot of websites, you have probably come across some error message every now and then. An error could 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 are not allowed to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that isn't on the hosting server (Error 404). Encountering this kind of messages could sometimes be aggravating as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual website. That’s why some hosting providers permit you to apply your own error pages that'll match the design of your own website and which could have any content which you want - information why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to handle it or even some witty comment. This type of feature will help you keep the visitor on the website whatever the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting
The customized error pages function is offered with each and every shared hosting plan which we offer and you'll be able to replace all of the generic pages with your own with no more than just a few clicks in your Hepsia hosting CP. You shall have to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You may do this for each web site hosted in the account separately, so that every set of customized pages will have the very same style and design as the Internet site it is part of. When necessary, you may always return back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. Another way to set customized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you haven't done this before, you may simply copy the necessary code from our Help article about the subject.
