Custom Error Pages

Hold onto your visitors, even if something goes wrong. With custom error pages, you can gently guide people back to your site

Use HTML, or other supported page types, to help visitors find what they want. Show a sitemap, or even just display a simple, reassuring message. Once you've designed your pages, upload, then activate them, using your control panel

You can use one page for all errors, or individual pages for each error type, including:

Error 400 - Bad request

This is a rare error, which occurs when a web browser makes a request that the web server doesn't understand

Error 401 - Unauthorised

Some web pages require a user name and password for access. This error message appears when they have not been supplied, or have been entered incorrectly

Error 403 - Forbidden

The most common cause of this error is the lack of a default index page, or a user trying to navigate a website's folders directly. It can also occur if a script is prevented from running by the web server

Error 404 - Not found

This is the error that most people see, as it is given when a web address is typed incorrectly or a particular web page no longer exists

Error 500 - Internal server error

This is a non-specific error that can be caused by an error in a web script or a problem with the server itself
