When a page on your site doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the website visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that will show up, but what is typical for all of them is that they're generic and probably shall have nothing in common with the layout of your site, which can be annoying for any website visitor. That is the main reason why hosting companies have introduced a feature referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a variety of different errors, visitors shall see your customized content, which could be informative or witty, based on your personal preference, and which shall match the design and style of your Internet site, so the pages will not look like they're not part of your Internet site at all. You can use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Web Hosting

The custom error pages feature is offered with each shared web hosting package deal which we offer and you'll be able to replace all generic pages with your own with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your Hepsia hosting CP. You shall need to develop the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain through the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You can do this for each site hosted inside the account separately, so that each group of custom pages will have the very same design and style as the website it's part of. If needed, you can always return back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. Another way to set custom made error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you have never done this before, you can simply copy the needed code from our Help article on this subject.
