If you have checked out loads of sites, you have probably come across some error message from time to time. An error may take place if the server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access some webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that is not on the hosting server (Error 404). Receiving this type of messages can sometimes be aggravating as the pages have nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some website hosting service providers allow you to set your own error pages which will match the style of your own site and that can have any content that you'd like - details why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to handle it or even some amusing remark. Such a feature will help you keep the visitor on the website no matter the error or the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Web Hosting

The customized error pages function is offered with every web hosting package deal we offer and you will be able to substitute the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your Hepsia hosting CP. You shall have to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a specific domain or subdomain from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can do this for each web site hosted inside the account separately, so that every set of personalized pages shall have the same layout as the Internet site it is part of. If needed, you may always revert back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. Another way to set customized error pages is to create an .htaccess file in the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you have never done this before, you may simply copy the needed code from our Help article on this subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting which we offer support custom error pages and it will not take more than a few clicks inside your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to use this functionality. The option is available in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel where you'll need to enter the links to the custom-made files through very simple drop-down menus and an easy to work with interface. Of course, you must upload them to your account before that. In case you don't need to use this feature at some point, you can easily disable it just as fast and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable whenever your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you could also use an .htaccess file to enable the custom error pages. The file should include a specific line of code and a link for each and every error type and you can find an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
