If a certain page on an Internet site does not load for some reason or in case a link is not functioning, the website visitor shall see an error page with some generic message. The page will have nothing in common with the rest of the Internet site, which can make the visitor leave the site. A potential solution in cases like this is a feature made available from some website hosting service providers - the ability to set your own custom-made error pages that shall have the same design as your Internet site and that could contain any images or text that you'd like dependent upon the particular error. There are four common errors which may 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 can't be processed; 401, in case you are supposed to log in to see some web page, but you have not done this yet; 403, if you do not have an authorization to see a particular page; and 404, if a link which you have clicked leads to a file that doesn't exist. In all of these situations, visitors will be able to see your custom content rather than a generic error page.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting

The custom made error pages feature is provided with every cloud hosting package deal we offer and you'll be able to replace all generic pages with your own with no more than several mouse clicks inside your Hepsia hosting CP. You will have to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a given domain or subdomain using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can easily do this for each and every web site hosted in the account separately, so that every set of custom made pages will have the very same design and style as the Internet site it is part of. If required, you can always go back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. One other way to set custom made error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to add a few lines in it. If you haven't done this before, you may simply copy the necessary program code from our Help article on this subject.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All Linux semi-dedicated hosting which we supply support custom error pages and it shall not take more than a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to use this function. The option is available in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel where you'll need to enter the links to the custom-made files using basic drop-down menus and a time and effort saving interface. Needless to say, you have to upload them to your account before that. In case you do not need to use this function at some point, you will be able to disable it just as quickly and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be displayed when your visitors encounter an error. If you'd like to, you could also use an .htaccess file to permit the personalized error pages. The file should contain a particular line of code and a link for every error type and you can easily discover an example of the entire content for all four error types in our Help section.
