If a particular page on a site doesn't load for some reason or if a link is not working, the visitor shall see an error page with some generic message. The page will have nothing in common with the rest of the Internet site, that can make the visitor leave your Internet site. A likely solution in this case is a function made available from some hosting providers - the ability to set up your own customized error pages which will have identical design and style as your website and which may contain any images or text which you want based on the particular error. There are 4 standard errors which can occur and they involve these particular so-called HTTP status codes - 400, when your web browser sends a bad request to the hosting server and it cannot be processed; 401, in case you are supposed to log in to see a webpage, but you haven't done this yet; 403, if you do not have a permission to see a particular page; and 404, in case a link that you've clicked leads to a file that doesn't exist. In any of these situations, website visitors shall be able to see your customized content rather than a generic error page.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Web Hosting

The custom made error pages function is offered with every single cloud web hosting plan we offer and you shall be able to replace the generic pages with your own with no more than just a few mouse clicks from your Hepsia website hosting CP. You'll have to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, then to set them for a particular domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You could do this for each web site hosted in the account individually, so that every group of custom made pages shall have the same design as the Internet site it is part of. If needed, you can always go back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. Another way to set personalized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you never done this before, you could simply copy the needed code from our Help article on this subject.
