If you have checked out many sites, you have probably come across some error message every now and then. An error can take place when the hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in in order to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access some webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that isn't on the website hosting server (Error 404). Getting this sort of messages may often be aggravating as the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some web hosting companies allow you to use your own error pages which will match the style of your own website and that could have any content that you'd like - details why the error has appeared, a suggestion what you can do or even some amusing comment. This type of feature can help you keep the visitor on the website no matter the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting
The custom error pages function is provided with each and every shared hosting package deal that we offer and you shall be able to substitute the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of clicks in your Hepsia hosting CP. You'll have to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You could do this for every single web site hosted inside the account separately, so that each set of personalized pages will have the very same layout as the website it is part of. When necessary, you can always revert back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. An alternate way to set custom made error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to add a few lines in it. If you have not done this before, you can simply copy the required program code from our Help article on the subject.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of the semi-dedicated servers that we provide support tailor-made error pages and it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to use this function. The option is available in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel where you'll have to type in the links to the custom-made files through simple drop-down menus and an easy to work with interface. Keep in mind, you have to upload them in your account before that. In case you do not need to employ this function at some point, you could disable it just as quickly and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be viewable if your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you could also use an .htaccess file to allow the custom made error pages. The file has to contain a particular line of code plus a link for every error type and you can discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
