If you have browsed many sites, you've probably come across some error message every now and then. An error may occur in case the web hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so that you can 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 that is not on the website hosting server (Error 404). Encountering such messages could sometimes be irritating because the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting providers permit you to set your own error pages which will match the design of your own site and that can have any content which you want - information why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to proceed or even some witty remark. This type of function can help you keep the visitor on the website regardless of the error and the reason for it.

The custom made error pages feature is offered with each web hosting plan that we offer and you'll be able to swap all generic pages with your own with no more than several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You shall need to develop 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 Control Panel. You may do this for each and every web site hosted inside the account separately, so that each set of custom pages shall have the very same layout as the site it is part of. If needed, you could always go back to a default page from our system or to the default Apache server page. Another way to set personalized error pages is to create an .htaccess file in the domain/subdomain root folder and to add a few lines in it. If you have not done this before, you could simply copy the necessary program code from our Help article on the subject.
