If you have browsed a lot of websites, you've probably come across some error message now and again. An error could take place when the web hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in in order to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access a webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which isn't on the hosting server (Error 404). Encountering such messages can sometimes be frustrating since the pages have nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some hosting providers permit you to use your own error pages that will match the style of your own Internet site and that could have any content that you'd like - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to proceed or even some funny remark. This sort of function will help you keep the visitor on the site regardless of the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Website Hosting

The personalized error pages feature is available with each and every cloud website hosting plan that we offer and you'll be able to replace all the generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. You shall need to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can easily do this for every single site hosted inside the account separately, so that every group of custom pages shall have the exact same design as the site it is part of. If required, you can always return back to a default page from our system or to the 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 include a few lines in it. If you never done this before, you can simply copy the needed program code from our Help article about the subject.

You can do this individually for every error type. You will be able to switch back to a generic error page whenever you want if needed and the change will take effect immediately. An alternative way to get the exact same result is to place an .htaccess file in the domain or subdomain folder related to the site that you'd like to change and to type in several lines of code inside it. If you want to try this method, you may copy and paste the required code from our Knowledge Base article on custom error pages, hence you won't need any programming skills or prior experience.
