If a page on your site does not load, an error message shall be displayed to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that will show up, but what's standard for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly shall have practically nothing that resembles the design of your Internet site, which can be irritating for any website visitor. That is the main reason why website hosting providers have introduced a feature known as Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, visitors will see your unique content, which could be informative or funny, in accordance with your taste, and that will match the overall layout of your site, so the pages will not seem like they aren't part of your site at all. You could 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 can set up custom error pages for any of your websites with ease when you use any of our Linux cloud website hosting packages. This can be done through the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts and when you go there, you could set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account beforehand and enter the links to them during the process. This function may be de-activated at any time and the options you'll be able to select from are a conventional page from our system or a default Apache server page. Custom made error pages can be set with an .htaccess file too. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it should contain some system code and links to the pages. If you are not tech-savvy, you may copy the entire content needed for the file from our Help section.
