If you have checked out a lot of Internet sites, you've probably come across some error message now and again. An error can occur when the web hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in so as to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't able to access some webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the hosting server (Error 404). Encountering this type of messages may often be irritating as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting companies permit you to set your own error pages that will match the style of your own site and which could have any content which you would like - information why the error has appeared, a suggestion how to handle it or even some funny remark. This kind of feature will help you keep the visitor on the website no matter the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Hosting
You'll be able to set up personalized error pages for all of your Internet sites effortlessly if you use any of our hosting. This can be done using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts as soon as you go there, you can set your custom pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You have to upload the files to your account ahead of time and input the links to them during the process. This function may be de-activated whenever you want and the options you will be able to select from are a generic page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Custom error pages may be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it should include some system code and links to the pages. If you aren't tech-savvy, you may copy the entire content needed for the file from our Help section.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
All semi-dedicated servers that we offer support personalized error pages and it will not take more than several mouse clicks in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to use this function. The option can be found in the Hosted Domains section of your Control Panel where you will have to enter the links to the custom-made files using basic drop-down menus and an intuitive interface. Needless to say, you have to upload them to your account before that. If you do not need to employ this function at some point, you can easily disable it just as fast and select an Apache server page or a default page from our system to be shown if your visitors encounter an error. If you prefer, you could also use an .htaccess file to permit the personalized error pages. The file has to contain a particular line of code and a link for each and every error type and you may discover an example of the whole content for all four error types in our Help section.
