If you have checked out a lot of sites, you've probably come across some error message once in a while. An error can take place when the website hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access a page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file which isn't on the web server (Error 404). Getting this kind of messages could often be aggravating as the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some hosting companies permit you to use your own error pages which will match the design of your own site and which may have any content that you want - info why the error has appeared, a suggestion how to handle it or even some amusing remark. This sort of function will help you keep the visitor on the website no matter the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

If you buy a shared hosting from us, you'll be able to set custom error pages for your websites quickly and easily, as this feature is a part of all of our packages. As soon as you have created the files and uploaded them to your website hosting account, you should check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia CP and click on the Edit button for the selected domain or subdomain. In the pop-up which will be displayed, you shall see drop-down menus for all 4 sorts of errors and for each one of them you could choose an Apache default page, a generic page from our system or a customized page. Should you choose the third option, you should just type the URL to the file that you've uploaded then save the change. Another way to set personalized error pages is to set up an .htaccess file inside the domain or subdomain folder and to add a few lines of program code in it. If you don't have prior experience or if you are just unsure how to do that, you may just copy/paste the code from our Knowledge Base article on that matter.
