Custom Error Pages
Find out more about website error pages, precisely when they pop up and why should you use customized error pages.
If a particular page on a site does not load for some reason or in case a link is not working, the website visitor will see an error page with some generic message. The page will have nothing in common with the rest of the Internet site, that may make the visitor leave the site. A solution in this case is a function offered by some hosting companies - the option to set up your own custom error pages which shall have the exact same style and design as your website and which may contain any images or text that you'd like based on the particular error. There are 4 standard errors which can take place and they involve these particular so-called HTTP status codes - 400, when your Internet browser sends a bad request to the server and it cannot be processed; 401, if you're supposed to log in to see a page, but you haven't done so yet; 403, if you don't have an authorization to see a specific page; and 404, if a link which you've clicked leads to a file which does not exist. In each of these scenarios, website visitors shall be able to see your custom content as opposed to a generic error page.

Custom Error Pages in Cloud Hosting
The customized error pages function is provided with each
cloud hosting plan which we offer and you shall be able to substitute all generic pages with your own with no more than just a few mouse clicks from your Hepsia website hosting CP. You'll need to create the actual files and to upload them to your account, and then to set them for a given domain or subdomain via the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia CP. You may do this for each web site hosted inside the account separately, so that each set of custom made pages will have the very same design as the Internet site it is part of. If required, you may always revert back to a default page from our system or to a default Apache server page. An alternate way to set personalized error pages is to create an .htaccess file inside the domain/subdomain root folder and to include a few lines in it. If you have not done this before, you may simply copy the needed program code from our Help article about this.

semi-dedicated server account with us will be really uncomplicated and shall not take more than a couple of clicks.
