Custom Error Pages
Learn what a Custom Error Page is, what role does it have and how to create one.
If you have browsed many Internet sites, you've probably come across some error message from time to time. An error could take place if the web hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in in order to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not permitted to access a page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which isn't on the web server (Error 404). Encountering this sort of messages can sometimes be aggravating because the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some hosting companies permit you to apply your own error pages that'll match the layout of your own site and which can have any content which you would like - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to handle it or even some amusing comment. This kind of function will help you keep the visitor on the website no matter the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Cloud Web Hosting
You'll be able to set up personalized error pages for each of your Internet sites without difficulty if you use any of our Linux cloud web hosting packages. This can be done through the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts as soon as you go there, you can set your custom pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account before you start and input the links to them during the process. This function may 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 error pages can be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put into the domain or subdomain folder and it must contain some system code and links to the pages. If you are not tech-savvy, you can copy the whole content required for the file from our Help section.
