If a page on your Internet site does not load, an error message shall be shown to the visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages which will display, but what is common for all of them is that they are generic and probably will have practically nothing that resembles the design of your website, which can be irritating for any site visitor. That is the reason why website hosting service providers have introduced a feature referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, visitors shall see your custom content, which could be informative or witty, in accordance with your personal preference, and which shall match the design and style of your Internet site, so the pages won't appear as if they're not part of your website at all. You may use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Website Hosting

You'll be able to set up personalized error pages for each of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all website hosting solutions that we offer, so after you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and go to the Hosted Domains section, you can click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that will be displayed, you can select the kind of error page which should appear - a default one from our system, a conventional Apache server page or a personalized one. For the aforementioned option, you must specify the URL to the page, so when you use custom pages, you have to upload the files inside your hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file placed in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each and every error type. The exact syntax can be seen in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this function even if you do not have any previous experience.
