If a specific page on a site does not load for some reason or if a link is not working, the website visitor will see an error page with some generic message. The page will have nothing in common with the rest of the site, which can make the visitor leave your Internet site. A possible solution in cases like this is a feature made available from some website hosting providers - the ability to set your own customized error pages which will have exactly the same design as your site and that may contain any images or text that you would like dependent upon the specific error. There are four standard errors that can take place and they involve these so-called HTTP status codes - 400, when your web browser sends a bad request to the server and it cannot be processed; 401, if you're supposed to log in to see a webpage, but you haven't done so yet; 403, if you don't have an authorization to view a certain page; and 404, if a link that you have clicked leads to a file which doesn't exist. In any of these situations, site visitors will be able to see your custom content as opposed to a generic error page.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting

You'll be able to set up personalized error pages for all of your sites with ease if you use any of our cloud hosting packages. This can easily be done via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with all accounts and when you go there, you can set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You must upload the files to your account before you start and enter the links to them during the process. This feature could be de-activated at any time and the options you'll be able to select from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Tailor-made error pages could be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be placed in 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.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you could set personalized error pages for each of them effortlessly using our in-house created Hepsia hosting CP. With several mouse clicks inside the Hosted Domains section, you can change the default setting from a system page to a personalized one for each of the four error types. All you need to do is provide a link to every single file that you have uploaded before that and then save the change. If necessary, you'll be able to revert this modification anytime and in exactly the same way. If you want, you may use an .htaccess file too. It should be created/uploaded within the domain or subdomain folder belonging to the internet site whose error pages you would like to alter and the content for this type of file can be found in our Help article about this matter.
