If a page on your Internet site does not load, an error message will be displayed to the website visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages which will show up, but what's standard for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly shall have nothing in common with the design of your site, which can be aggravating for any website visitor. This is the main reason why hosting providers have introduced a feature named Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, website visitors shall see your custom made content, which can be informative or humorous, in accordance with your personal preference, and which shall match the overall style and design of your site, so the pages won't look like they are not part of your website 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 Shared Web Hosting
The personalized error pages function is provided with each shared web hosting plan we offer and you shall be able to substitute all generic pages with your own with no more than just a few clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You shall have 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 Control Panel. You can easily do this for every site hosted in the account individually, so that every set of custom made pages will have the very same design as the website it's part of. When necessary, you can always go back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. Another way to set customized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you never done this before, you could simply copy the required program code from our Help article on the subject.
