If you have browsed a lot of sites, you have probably stumbled upon 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 need to log in so that you can see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access a webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that is not on the server (Error 404). Getting this kind of messages could often be annoying since the pages have nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some website hosting service providers permit you to use your own error pages which will match the layout of your own website and which could have any content that you would like - details why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to proceed or even some amusing comment. Such a feature can help you keep the visitor on the site irrespective of the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Web Hosting

You can set up personalized error pages for any of your Internet sites with ease when you use any of our cloud web hosting. This can be done through the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, provided with all accounts and once you go there, you could set your custom pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You must upload the files to your account before you start and enter the links to them through the process. This feature can be de-activated whenever you want and the options you'll be able to choose from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Custom made error pages may be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it must include some system code and links to the pages. If you are not tech-savvy, you could copy the entire content you'll need for the file from our Help section.

You could select what page should appear for every single error type. Your options are a standard Apache server page or a page from our system, and custom pages.
