Custom Error Pages
Learn what a Custom Error Page is, what function does it serve and how to set one.
If you have looked at loads of websites, you have probably stumbled upon some error message now and again. An error can take place when the website hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so as to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that isn't on the hosting server (Error 404). Encountering this type of messages could often be annoying because the pages don't have anything in common with the actual site. That’s why some web hosting service providers allow you to set your own error pages that will match the style of your own site and which could have any content that you want - details why the error has taken place, a suggestion what you can do or even some funny comment. Such a feature shall help you keep the visitor on the site whatever the error or the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Semi-dedicated Servers
Including your own pages for each of the 4 error types to any site hosted inside a
semi-dedicated server account with us will be really basic and won't take more than several clicks. As soon as you upload the files inside your account, you could check out the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia CP and edit the domains and subdomains listed there via an intuitive interface with drop-down navigation. You can select what page should display for each and every error type. Your options are a default Apache web server page or a page from our system, and personalized pages. Should you pick the abovementioned option, you will need to type in the link to every single page in your account, then save the change. The link or the kind of page which appears when a user encounters an error can be changed anytime. If you're more experienced, you may use an .htaccess file so as to set in-house made error pages as well, as an alternative to using our integrated generator software tool, and if you choose this option, the file needs to be located in the root directory of a particular domain or subdomain.
