If you have looked at a lot of Internet sites, you've probably encountered some error message now and again. An error may take place in case the hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't able to access some webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that is not on the website hosting server (Error 404). Encountering this type of messages could sometimes be aggravating since the pages have nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some web hosting service providers permit you to use your own error pages that will match the design of your own website and which can have any content which you'd like - information why the error has occurred, a suggestion what you can do or even some witty remark. This type of function will help you keep the visitor on the website irrespective of the error and the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting
When you purchase a Linux cloud package from us, you will be able to set personalized error pages for your Internet sites easily and quickly, since this function is part of all our solutions. After you've created the files and uploaded them to your website hosting account, you can check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel and click on the Edit button for the specific domain or subdomain. Inside the pop-up that will be displayed, you'll see drop-down options menus for all four kinds of errors and for each one of them you can select an Apache default page, a generic page from our system or a customized page. In case you choose the 3rd option, you should simply enter the URL to the file that you've uploaded and save the change. Another way to set custom error pages is to set up an .htaccess file in the domain or subdomain folder and to add a couple of lines of program code in it. If you do not have prior experience or if you are simply unsure how to do this, you can simply copy/paste the code from our Knowledge Base article on that subject.

You are able to do this separately for each and every error type. You shall be able to switch back to a generic error page whenever you want if necessary and the change will take effect instantly. An alternative way to achieve the same result is to place an .htaccess file in the domain or subdomain folder of the website which you want to change and to type in a few lines of code inside it. If you need to try this method, you can copy and paste the necessary code from our Knowledge Base article on custom error pages, hence you will not need any coding skills or previous experience.
