Whenever a page on your website does not load, an error message shall be shown to the website visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that will display, but what's standard for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly shall have practically nothing that is similar to the layout of your site, which can be frustrating for any website visitor. That is the primary reason why website hosting providers have introduced a function named Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, site visitors will see your unique content, which may be informative or witty, in accordance with your preference, and which will match the design of your Internet site, so the pages won't look like they're not part of your website at all. You can use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Shared Hosting

You will be able to set up custom made error pages for any of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all shared hosting plans that we provide, so after you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel and check out the Hosted Domains section, you may click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up which will be displayed, you can select the sort of error page which should appear - a default one from our system, a typical Apache server page or a custom one. For the latter option, you will need to specify the URL to the page, so when you use custom made pages, you need to upload the files in your hosting account first. Another way is to use an .htaccess file located in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each error type. The exact syntax can be found in our Knowledge Base, so you can use this feature even if you don't have any previous experience.
