Each time a page on your website does not load, an error message shall be shown to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what is typical for all of them is that they are generic and in all probability shall have nothing that resembles the design of your website, which can be annoying for any site visitor. This is the primary reason why website hosting companies have introduced a feature named Custom Error Pages. For a variety of different errors, site visitors will see your custom content, which can be informative or funny, based on your taste, and which shall match the overall style and design of your website, so the pages shall not look like they're not part of your website at all. You may use this option for a number of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

The custom error pages function is available with every shared hosting plan that we offer and you'll be able to replace all the generic pages with your own with no more than a few clicks from 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 given domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can easily do this for each site hosted in the account individually, so that every set of personalized pages will have the same layout as the site it is part of. If necessary, you may always return back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. A different way to set personalized 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 this subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your web sites in a semi-dedicated server account from us, you can set tailor-made error pages for any of them with ease using our in-house created Hepsia hosting CP. With only several mouse clicks inside the Hosted Domains section, you are able to change the default setting from a system page to a tailor-made one for any of the 4 error types. All you should do is supply a link to each and every file that you have uploaded before that and then save the change. If needed, you shall be able to revert this customization anytime and in exactly the same way. If you prefer, you may use an .htaccess file too. It must be created/uploaded within the domain or subdomain folder linked to the internet site whose error pages you would want to change and the content for this kind of file can be found in our Help article about this matter.
