Custom Error Pages
Discover more about website error pages, when they appear and why you should utilize customized error pages.
Each time a page on your website does not load, an error message will be shown to the website visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that will display, but what's typical for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly will have practically nothing in common with the design of your website, which may be annoying for any visitor. That is the reason why hosting companies have introduced a feature known as Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, site visitors shall see your customized content, which can be informative or witty, depending on your taste, and that will match the design of your site, so the pages shall not look like they aren't part of your site at all. You could use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Web Hosting
You will be able to set up personalized error pages for each of your Internet sites effortlessly if you use any of our
Linux shared web hosting packages. This could be done using the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP, offered with all accounts and when you go there, you could set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You must upload the files to your account in advance and enter the links to them during the process. This function could be de-activated at any time and the options you'll be able to choose from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Personalized error pages may be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it must include some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you could copy the whole content required for the file from our Help section.
