If you have checked out loads of Internet sites, you've probably stumbled upon some error message once in a while. An error can take place in case the server can't 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 allowed to access some page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that is not on the hosting server (Error 404). Receiving this kind of messages could sometimes be annoying because the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual website. That’s why some web hosting providers allow you to apply your own error pages which will match the layout of your own website and which may have any content that you'd like - information why the error has appeared, a suggestion what you can do or even some witty comment. Such a function shall help you keep the visitor on the site irrespective of the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting
You'll be able to set up customized error pages for any of your sites effortlessly when you use any of our shared hosting plans. This could be done using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and when you go there, you can set your custom pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You need to upload the files to your account before you start and enter the links to them during the process. This feature can be de-activated anytime and the options you shall be able to 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 incorporate some system code and links to the pages. If you aren't tech-savvy, you could copy the whole content required for the file from our Help section.
