Whenever a page on your website doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the site visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that will show up, but what is common for all of them is that they're generic and most likely shall have absolutely nothing that resembles the layout of your site, which could be frustrating for any website visitor. That is the primary reason why hosting providers have introduced a feature referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, website visitors shall see your unique content, which may be informative or funny, depending on your taste, and which will match the design of your Internet site, so the pages won't seem like they are not part of your website at all. You can use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Website Hosting

You will be able to set up personalized error pages for each of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all cloud website hosting solutions which we provide, so once you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel and go to the Hosted Domains section, you may click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up that"ll appear, you may choose the kind of error page that should appear - a default one from our system, a standard Apache server page or a custom one. For the latter option, you will need to specify the URL to the page, so if you use custom pages, you must upload the files inside your Internet hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file positioned in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for every error type. The correct syntax can be seen in our Knowledge Base, to help you use this feature even if you do not have any previous experience.
