If a certain page on an Internet site does not load for some reason or if a link is not working, the site visitor shall see an error page with some generic message. The page will have nothing in common with the rest of the Internet site, which may make the visitor leave the site. A likely solution in such a case is a function made available from some website hosting providers - the option to set up your own customized error pages which shall have identical style and design as your Internet site and that could contain any text or images that you'd like dependent upon the specific error. There are four standard errors that may occur and they involve these particular so-called HTTP status codes - 400, when your world-wide web browser sends a bad request to the server and it can't be processed; 401, if you are supposed to log in to see some page, but you haven't done this yet; 403, if you don't have a permission to view a certain page; and 404, when a link which you have clicked leads to a file which does not exist. In all of these situations, site visitors shall be able to see your customized content as opposed to a generic error page.

Custom Error Pages in Website Hosting

You will be able to set up custom error pages for any of your websites with ease if you use any of our website hosting. This can easily be done through the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and once you go there, you could set your custom pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You have to upload the files to your account beforehand and enter the links to them through the process. This feature can be de-activated whenever you want and the options you will be able to choose from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache server page. Personalized error pages can be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it must contain some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you can copy the whole content needed for the file from our Help section.
