Whenever a page on your site doesn't load, an error message shall be displayed to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that will appear, but what is standard for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly shall have practically nothing that resembles the layout of your website, which may be aggravating for any site visitor. This is the primary reason why hosting companies have introduced a feature named Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, website visitors shall see your custom content, which could be informative or humorous, in accordance with your preference, and that will match the design of your site, so the pages won't seem like they're not part of your website at all. You can use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).

You will be able to set up personalized error pages for all of your websites effortlessly when you use any of our shared web hosting. This can easily be done through the Hosted Domains part of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts and when you go there, you'll be able to set your personalized pages independently for any domain or subdomain. You need to upload the files to your account ahead of time and enter the links to them through the process. This function could be de-activated whenever you want and the options you shall be able to to choose from are a conventional page from our system or a default Apache web server page. Tailor-made error pages could be set with an .htaccess file as well. The file should be put in the domain or subdomain folder and it should include some system code and links to the pages.
