Whenever a page on your website doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the site visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll appear, but what's typical for all of them is that they're generic and probably will have nothing that resembles the design of your site, which can be frustrating for any website visitor. That is the reason why website hosting service providers have introduced a feature called Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, website visitors will see your custom content, which may be informative or amusing, depending on your choice, and which shall match the overall design and style of your site, so the pages won't appear as if they're not part of your site at all. You could use this option for a number of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

Custom Error Pages in Website Hosting

You'll be able to set up customized error pages for each of your websites without difficulty if you use any of our website hosting. This could be done from the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP, provided with all accounts as soon as you go there, you could set your custom made pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You should upload the files to your account ahead of time and input the links to them during the process. This function can be de-activated whenever you want and the options you will be able to select from are a standard page from our system or a default Apache server page. Customized error pages could be set with an .htaccess file too. 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're not tech-savvy, you may copy the whole content you'll need for the file from our Help section.

If you prefer, you could use an .htaccess file too.
