If you have browsed a lot of websites, you have probably come across some error message from time to time. An error may take place when the website hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not permitted to access some page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file which is not on the server (Error 404). Encountering this sort of messages may often be frustrating because the pages have nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some hosting service providers permit you to apply your own error pages that will match the layout of your own site and that could have any content that you would like - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion what you can do or even some humorous comment. This sort of function will help you keep the visitor on the site no matter the error or the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Hosting

You can set up personalized error pages for all of your websites easily if you use any of our Linux hosting. This can easily be done using the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with all accounts and once you go there, you'll be able to set your custom pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account in advance and enter the links to them through the process. This function could be de-activated at any time and the options you shall be able to to select from are a conventional page from our system or a default Apache server page. Custom error pages can be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it should include some system code and links to the pages. If you aren't tech-savvy, you could copy the whole content necessary for the file from our Help section.
