Whenever a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message shall be shown to the website visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages which will show up, but what's common for all of them is that they're generic and almost certainly will have nothing that resembles the design of your site, which can be frustrating for any website visitor. That is the main reason why hosting companies have introduced a feature named Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, visitors shall see your customized content, which could be informative or humorous, in accordance with your personal preference, and which shall match the overall design and style of your website, so the pages won't appear as if they aren't part of your website 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 Hosting

You can set up personalized error pages for any of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all cloud hosting solutions which we offer, so once you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel and navigate to the Hosted Domains section, you can click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that"ll appear, you can pick the type of error page which should show up - a default one from our system, a standard Apache server page or a customized one. For the aforementioned option, you'll have to specify the URL to the page, so when you use custom made pages, you should upload the files inside your web hosting account first. Another way is to use an .htaccess file located inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each and every error type. The exact syntax can be seen in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this function even if you don't have any previous experience.
