When a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the site visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what's standard for all of them is that they're generic and in all probability shall have practically nothing that is similar to the layout of your website, which could be irritating for any website visitor. That is the reason why website hosting service providers have introduced a function referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a variety of different errors, site visitors will see your custom made content, which could be informative or amusing, depending on your preference, and that will match the style and design of your website, so the pages won't look like they're not part of your website at all. You can use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
Custom Error Pages in Shared Web Hosting
You'll be able to set up custom made error pages for any of your websites effortlessly when you use any of our Linux shared web hosting packages. This can be done from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts and once you go there, you could set your custom made pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You need to upload the files to your account before you start and enter the links to them during the process. This function can be de-activated anytime and the options you'll be able to select from are a conventional page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Customized error pages could be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it must include some system code and links to the pages. If you are not tech-savvy, you could copy the whole content you'll need for the file from our Help section.
