Whenever a page on your website doesn't load, an error message shall be displayed to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, 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 site, which can be irritating for any site visitor. This is the main reason why website hosting providers have introduced a function named Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, website visitors will see your customized content, which can be informative or funny, in accordance with your preference, and that will match the overall layout of your Internet site, so the pages shall not seem like they're not part of your site at all. You may use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
Custom Error Pages in Hosting
You will be able to set up custom error pages for each of your domains or subdomains. The feature is supported by all hosting plans that we offer, so when you log in to your 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 which will appear, you may pick the type of error page that should appear - a default one from our system, a conventional Apache web server page or a customized one. For the aforementioned alternative, you must assign the URL to the page, so if you use customized pages, you should upload the files inside your Internet hosting account first. Another way is to use an .htaccess file placed in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for every error type. The exact syntax can be located in our Knowledge Base, so that you can use this feature even if you do not have any previous experience.
