If you have checked out a lot of Internet sites, you've probably stumbled upon some error message every now and then. An error can occur when the server can't process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so as to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not permitted to access a webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that isn't on the web server (Error 404). Getting such messages can often be irritating as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual site. That’s why some website hosting providers permit you to apply your own error pages that will match the design of your own Internet site and that can have any content that you want - details why the error has appeared, a suggestion how to proceed or even some funny remark. This type of function will help you keep the visitor on the website whatever the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting
When you get a cloud hosting service from our company, you shall be able to set customized error pages for your sites easily, because this function is a part of all of our solutions. As soon as you have created the files and uploaded them to your web hosting account, you should check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and click on the Edit button for the selected domain or subdomain. In the pop-up which will be displayed, you shall see drop-down options menus for all four kinds of errors and for each one of them you can choose an Apache default page, a generic page from our system or a tailor-made page. Should you select the third option, you should only type the URL to the file that you've uploaded then save the change. A different way to set personalized error pages is to set up an .htaccess file in the domain or subdomain folder and to include a few lines of program code in it. In case you don't have previous experience or if you're simply uncertain how to do that, you can simply copy/paste the code from our Knowledge Base article on that subject.
Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
Incorporating your personal pages for any of the 4 error types to any Internet site hosted from a semi-dedicated server account with us shall be very easy and will not take more than several mouse clicks. After you upload the files to your account, you could check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia CP and edit each of the domains and subdomains listed there via an intuitive interface with drop-down navigation. You can pick what page should show up for every error type. Your choices are a standard Apache web server page or a page from our system, and tailor-made pages. In case you pick the last option, you will need to type the link to each page inside your account, then save the change. The link or the sort of page that will appear when a user encounters an error can be changed at any time. If you are more experienced, you could use an .htaccess file to be able to set customized error pages too, rather than using our integrated generator software instrument, and if you choose this option, the file should be located in the root directory of a given domain or subdomain.
