Custom Error Pages
Learn what a Custom Error Page is, what role does it have and ways to create one.
If a page on your site does not load, an error message will be displayed to the visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that will display, but what is typical for all of them is that they're generic and in all probability shall have absolutely nothing in common with the design of your website, which can be frustrating for any site visitor. This is the main reason why hosting companies have introduced a feature referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, site visitors will see your custom content, which may be informative or amusing, based on your taste, and which shall match the overall design and style of your website, so the pages shall not seem like they aren't part of your website at all. You may use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting
You shall be able to set up personalized error pages for all of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all cloud hosting plans that we offer, so when you log in to your Hepsia CP and visit the Hosted Domains section, you can easily click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up which will appear, you may select the type of error page which should appear - a default one from our system, a standard Apache web server page or a personalized one. For the last mentioned alternative, you need to specify the URL to the page, so when you use custom made pages, you must upload the files inside your hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file located inside the domain or subdomain folder with a line for every error type. The exact syntax can be seen in our Knowledge Base, to help you use this function even if you don't have any previous experience.
