If you have checked out loads of websites, you have probably encountered some error message every now and then. An error may take place when the hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so as to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not permitted to access some page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file which isn't on the server (Error 404). Receiving this sort of messages can often be aggravating since the pages have nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some website hosting service providers allow you to use your own error pages that'll match the design of your own website and which can have any content which you want - info why the error has appeared, a suggestion how to proceed or even some funny comment. Such a feature shall help you keep the visitor on the website irrespective of the error and the reason for it.

You will be able to set up personalized error pages for all of your websites with ease when you use any of our Linux cloud hosting packages. This can easily be done through the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, provided with all accounts and once you go there, you could set your customized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account beforehand and enter the links to them during the process. This feature could be de-activated whenever you want and the options you will be able to choose from are a conventional page from our system or a default Apache server page. Custom made error pages may be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it should contain some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you can copy the whole content needed for the file from our Help section.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Incorporating your pages for each of the four error types to any web site hosted through a semi-dedicated server account with us will be very uncomplicated and will not take more than a few clicks.

You could select what page should show up for each and every error type. The options are a standard Apache web server page or a page from our system, and custom pages. Should you choose the last option, you must type in the link to each page in your account, then save the change.
