When a page on your site doesn't load, an error message shall be displayed to the website visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that'll appear, but what is standard for all of them is that they're generic and in all probability will have practically nothing that is similar to the design of your site, which can be aggravating for any site visitor. This is the reason why hosting service providers have introduced a feature named Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, website visitors will see your customized content, which could be informative or funny, depending on your personal preference, and that will match the overall style and design of your website, so the pages will not appear as if they are not 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

The personalized error pages feature is offered with each and every cloud web hosting plan that we offer and you will be able to substitute the generic pages with your own with no more than several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will have to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel. You can do this for every single website hosted in the account individually, so that each set of custom pages shall have the very same style and design as the Internet site it is part of. If necessary, you could always go back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. One other way to set custom made error pages is to create an .htaccess file in the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you have not done this before, you may simply copy the required code from our Help article about this.
