If you have browsed lots of sites, you have probably encountered some error message from time to time. An error could take place when the server cannot 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 are not able to access a webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the hosting server (Error 404). Encountering such messages may sometimes be frustrating since the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some website hosting companies permit you to use your own error pages that'll match the design of your own website and which may have any content that you want - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to proceed or even some humorous remark. This sort of function shall help you keep the visitor on the website whatever the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Hosting

You shall be able to set up custom made error pages for any of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all hosting solutions which we offer, so when you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and visit the Hosted Domains section, you can click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that will show up, you could select the kind of error page that should appear - a default one from our system, a conventional Apache web server page or a personalized one. For the latter alternative, you will need to specify the URL to the page, so when you use custom made pages, you have to upload the files inside your website hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file located in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each error type. The exact syntax can be located in our Knowledge Base, to help you use this feature even if you do not have any previous experience.
