If you have looked at loads of sites, you have probably encountered some error message now and again. An error could occur in case the hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so as to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't permitted to access some page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file which is not on the web server (Error 404). Getting this kind of messages can often be irritating since the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual website. That’s why some website hosting companies allow you to apply your own error pages that'll match the style of your own website and that could have any content which you would like - info why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to handle it or even some funny comment. This kind of feature shall help you keep the visitor on the site regardless of the error or the reason for it.
Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting
You'll be able to set up custom made error pages for each of your Internet sites easily if you use any of our Linux cloud hosting packages. This can easily be done via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP, provided with all accounts and when you go there, you could set your custom pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You need to upload the files to your account before you start and enter 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 generic page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Custom error pages may be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be placed in the domain or subdomain folder and it should include some system code and links to the pages. If you're not tech-savvy, you may copy the entire content required for the file from our Help section.
