Custom Error Pages
Find out about web site error pages, exactly when they pop up and why you need to make use of customized error pages.
If you have browsed loads of Internet sites, you've probably stumbled upon some error message now and again. An error may occur when the website 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 website hosting server (Error 404). Encountering this kind of messages could sometimes be annoying because the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some web hosting providers allow you to use your own error pages that'll match the design of your own Internet site and that can have any content that you want - info why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to handle it or even some funny comment. This type of feature will help you keep the visitor on the website no matter the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Website Hosting
You can set up personalized error pages for each of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all shared website hosting solutions which we offer, so when you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel and go to the Hosted Domains section, you can easily click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up which will appear, you could select the sort of error page which should show up - a default one from our system, a standard Apache web server page or a customized one. For the aforementioned option, you will need to specify the URL to the page, so if you use custom pages, you must upload the files in your web hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file placed inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each error type. The actual syntax can be located in our Knowledge Base, to help you use this function even if you don't have any previous experience.
