When a page on your site does not load, an error message shall be displayed to the visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages which will show up, but what's typical for all of them is that they are generic and most likely will have nothing that resembles the layout of your Internet site, which could be annoying for any site visitor. That is the main reason why hosting service providers have introduced a function referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, visitors shall see your custom made content, which can be informative or humorous, depending on your choice, and which shall match the overall design and style of your website, so the pages will not appear as if they aren't part of your site 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 Cloud Web Hosting

You shall be able to set up customized error pages for all of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all cloud web hosting solutions that we offer, so as soon as you log in to your Hepsia CP and check out the Hosted Domains section, you can click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that"ll be displayed, you may pick the kind of error page which should show up - a default one from our system, a conventional Apache web server page or a personalized one. For the last mentioned alternative, you'll have to assign the URL to the page, so if you use customized pages, you should upload the files inside your hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file placed in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for every error type. The actual syntax can be seen in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this function even if you do not have any previous experience.
