If a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message shall be shown to the website visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what is common for all of them is that they're generic and almost certainly will have absolutely nothing that is similar to the design of your site, which can be frustrating for any website visitor. This is the main reason why hosting service providers have introduced a feature known as Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, website visitors will see your unique content, which may be informative or funny, depending on your choice, and that will match the overall style and design of your Internet site, so the pages will not appear as if they're not part of your website at all. You may use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting
You can set up customized error pages for all of your websites effortlessly when you use any of our Linux shared hosting. This can easily be done through the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, offered with all accounts and when you go there, you can set your custom pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You must upload the files to your account beforehand and input the links to them through the process. This function can be de-activated whenever you want and the options you will be able to pick from are a conventional page from our system or a default Apache server page. Custom error pages could be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it must contain some system code and links to the pages. If you are not tech-savvy, you may copy the entire content needed for the file from our Help section.
