If you have browsed many websites, you have probably encountered some error message every now and then. An error can take place if the server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so as to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access some webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file which isn't on the website hosting server (Error 404). Receiving this type of messages can often be annoying as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual website. That’s why some hosting service providers allow you to set your own error pages which will match the design of your own website and that can have any content which you would like - information why the error has appeared, a suggestion how to handle it or even some funny comment. This kind of function will help you keep the visitor on the site no matter the error or the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Shared Website Hosting

You'll be able to set up personalized error pages for each of your websites with ease if you use any of our Linux shared website hosting packages. This can be done from the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, offered with all accounts as soon as you go there, you can set your customized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You need to upload the files to your account beforehand and enter the links to them through the process. This feature could be de-activated at any time and the options you'll be able to choose 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 as well. 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 could copy the entire content you'll need for the file from our Help section.
