If a page on your website does not load, an error message will be shown to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll display, but what is common for all of them is that they are generic and most likely will have absolutely nothing in common with the layout of your Internet site, which could be annoying for any site visitor. This is the primary reason why website hosting companies have introduced a function known as Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, website visitors will see your unique content, which could be informative or witty, based on your choice, and that will match the overall layout of your website, so the pages will not seem like they aren't part of your Internet site at all. You can use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Hosting

You will be able to set up custom made error pages for each of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all hosting plans that we provide, so as soon as you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel 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 show up, you may select the kind of error page which should show up - a default one from our system, a standard Apache web server page or a personalized one. For the latter option, you must assign the URL to the page, so when you use customized pages, you have to upload the files in your web hosting account first. Another way is to use an .htaccess file positioned inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for every error type. The correct syntax can be found in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this function even if you do not have any previous experience.
