If you have looked at many Internet sites, you have probably stumbled upon some error message every now and then. An error may occur if the website hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in in order to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the server (Error 404). Getting this sort of messages may sometimes be frustrating because the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting service providers allow you to apply your own error pages that will match the style of your own Internet site and that may have any content that you want - details why the error has appeared, a suggestion what you can do or even some humorous comment. Such a function will help you keep the visitor on the website regardless of the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Website Hosting

You can set up custom error pages for each of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all website hosting plans which we offer, so once you log in to the Hepsia CP and check out the Hosted Domains section, you may click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that will appear, you may select the kind of error page that should appear - a default one from our system, a conventional Apache web server page or a custom one. For the last mentioned alternative, you'll have to assign the URL to the page, so if you use personalized pages, you should upload the files inside your web hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file located inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each and every error type. The exact syntax can be seen in our Knowledge Base, so that you can use this feature even if you don't have any previous experience.
