Custom Error Pages
Take a plunge into website error pages. Learn when they show up and why you should set up your individual custom error pages.
If you have looked at a lot of sites, you have probably come across some error message from time to time. An error can take place if the web server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't able to access some webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the hosting server (Error 404). Receiving such messages can sometimes be irritating since the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some website hosting companies permit you to set your own error pages which will match the style of your own site and which may have any content that you would like - details why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to handle it or even some witty comment. This kind of function will help you keep the visitor on the site whatever the error and the reason for it.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting
You can set up custom error pages for all of your domains or subdomains. The function is supported by all
cloud hosting package that we offer, so after you log in to your Hepsia CP and go to the Hosted Domains section, you can easily click on the Edit button for a domain/subdomain and in the pop-up which will be displayed, you can pick the kind of error page which should appear - a default one from our system, a standard Apache server page or a customized one. For the aforementioned alternative, you need to specify the URL to the page, so if you use custom pages, you must upload the files inside your website hosting account first. One other way is to use an .htaccess file located in the domain or subdomain folder with a line for each and every error type. The actual syntax can be seen in our Knowledge Base, to help you use this function even if you do not have any previous experience.
