If you have browsed loads of websites, you have probably come across some error message from time to time. An error may occur in case the web server can't process a request (Error 400), if you must log in in order to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't able to access a webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that isn't on the hosting server (Error 404). Encountering this sort of messages could sometimes be irritating because the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting service providers allow you to set your own error pages that will match the design of your own site and that may have any content which you want - details why the error has taken place, a suggestion what you can do or even some humorous remark. This type of function shall help you keep the visitor on the website no matter the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Web Hosting
The custom error pages function is offered with every single shared web hosting package which we offer and you will be able to replace all the generic pages with your own with no more than a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. You shall need to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can easily do this for every site hosted inside the account individually, so that each group of customized pages shall have the very same layout as the website it's part of. When necessary, you may always return 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 in 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 necessary program code from our Help article on the subject.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Adding your personal pages for each of the four error types to any site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with us will be very basic and shall not take more than several clicks. After you upload the files inside your account, you can check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and edit each of the domains and subdomains listed there via an intuitive interface with drop-down navigation. You could select what page should show up for each and every error type. The options are a standard Apache server page or a page from our system, and tailor-made pages. If you choose the last option, you need to type in the link to every page inside your account, then save the change. The link or the kind of page that will appear if a user encounters an error can be changed anytime. In case you’re more experienced, you can use an .htaccess file in order to set tailor-made error pages as well, rather than using our integrated generator software instrument, and if you pick this option, the file needs to be positioned in the root directory of a given domain or subdomain.
