If you have looked at many sites, you have probably come across some error message once in a while. An error could occur if the hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access a webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the website hosting server (Error 404). Getting such messages may often be annoying because the pages have nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some web hosting providers allow you to set your own error pages that'll match the layout of your own site and that may have any content that you want - information why the error has occurred, a suggestion what you can do or even some humorous remark. This sort of feature can help you keep the visitor on the website whatever the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting
You shall be able to set up custom made error pages for all of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all shared hosting package which we offer, so as soon as you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and visit the Hosted Domains section, you may click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that will appear, you could choose the type of error page that should show up - a default one from our system, a conventional Apache web server page or a customized one. For the aforementioned alternative, you need to specify the URL to the page, so if you use custom pages, you should upload the files inside your web hosting account first. An alternative way is to use an .htaccess file located inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each error type. The correct syntax can be seen in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this feature even if you don't have any previous experience.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
Including your personal pages for each of the four error types to any website hosted from a semi-dedicated server account with us will be very uncomplicated and won't take more than several clicks. After you upload the files in your account, you could navigate to the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia CP and edit the domains and subdomains listed there through an intuitive interface with drop-down navigation. You can select what page should display for every error type. The alternatives are a standard Apache web server page or a page from our system, and personalized pages. If you pick the abovementioned option, you have to type in the link to each and every page in your account, then save the change. The link or the type of page which shows up in case a user encounters an error can be modified whenever you want. In case you are more experienced, you may use an .htaccess file to set in-house developed error pages too, as opposed to using our integrated generator instrument, and in case you choose this option, the file has to be positioned inside the root directory of a specific domain or subdomain.
