If a page on your site doesn't load, an error message will be displayed to the site 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 are generic and probably shall have practically nothing in common with the layout of your Internet site, which can be annoying for any visitor. This is the main reason why website hosting providers have introduced a function called Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, visitors shall see your custom made content, which could be informative or amusing, based on your choice, and that will match the overall layout of your Internet site, so the pages will not seem like they are not part of your site 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 Shared Hosting

The customized error pages feature is provided with each and every shared hosting package we offer and you'll be able to replace all of the generic pages with your own with no more than just a few mouse clicks inside your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. You'll have to produce the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You may do this for each and every web site hosted inside the account individually, so that every set of custom made pages shall have identical layout as the website it's part of. If needed, you can always revert back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. One other way to set custom error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to add a few lines in it. If you haven't done this before, you may simply copy the necessary program code from our Help article about this.
