If a page on your Internet site does not load, an error message shall be displayed to the website visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what is common for all of them is that they're generic and most likely will have practically nothing in common with the design of your Internet site, which could be frustrating for any website visitor. That is the primary reason why hosting providers have introduced a function named Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, website visitors will see your customized content, which may be informative or witty, based on your preference, and which shall match the overall layout of your website, so the pages shall not seem like they're not part of your Internet site at all. You can use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting
The customized error pages feature is available with every cloud hosting package which we offer and you shall be able to replace all the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting CP. You will have to produce 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 Control Panel. You may do this for every site hosted inside the account independently, so that each group of personalized pages shall have the very same design as the Internet site it is part of. When necessary, you could always revert back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. A different 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 never done this before, you may simply copy the needed program code from our Help article on this subject.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of the Linux semi-dedicated servers that we offer support custom error pages and it will not take more than several mouse clicks inside your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to use this feature. The option can be found in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel in which you will have to type in the links to the custom-made files via simple drop-down menus and an intuitive interface. Keep in mind, you need to upload them to your account before that. In case you do not need to use this function at some point, you can disable it just as fast and pick an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be displayed when your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you can also use an .htaccess file to allow the customized error pages. The file has to have a particular line of code plus a link for every single error type and you may discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
