If you have browsed many sites, you have probably stumbled upon some error message once in a while. An error could take place when the web hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you must log in to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access a webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the web server (Error 404). Getting this type of messages can sometimes be irritating since the pages don't have anything in common with the actual website. That’s why some web hosting service providers permit you to set your own error pages which will match the style of your own site and that may have any content which you want - information why the error has appeared, a suggestion what you can do or even some amusing comment. This sort of feature shall help you keep the visitor on the site whatever the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Website Hosting

You can set up personalized error pages for all of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all cloud website hosting plans which we provide, so once you log in to your Hepsia CP and go to the Hosted Domains section, you can click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that"ll appear, you could choose the sort of error page that should show up - a default one from our system, a typical Apache web server page or a customized one. For the aforementioned alternative, you will need to specify the URL to the page, so if you use customized pages, you must upload the files inside your website hosting account first. Another way is to use an .htaccess file positioned in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each and every error type. The actual syntax can be located in our Knowledge Base, so that you can use this feature even if you do not have any previous experience.
