Whenever a page on your website does not load, an error message shall be displayed to the site visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what's typical for all of them is that they are generic and most likely will have nothing that is similar to the layout of your site, which can be frustrating for any website visitor. That is the main reason why web hosting providers have introduced a function referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, website visitors shall see your customized content, which could be informative or amusing, depending on your preference, and that will match the overall design and style of your Internet site, so the pages will not appear as if they are not part of your site at all. You can 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 Website Hosting
You can set up custom error pages for each of your sites easily if you use any of our shared website hosting. This can be done from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all accounts and once you go there, you'll be able to set your customized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account ahead of time and input 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 standard page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Custom error pages may be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it should incorporate some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you can copy the entire content required for the file from our Help section.
