Why create custom error pages in Plesk?

An error page indicates an error on your website or web hosting. Plesk allows you to customise these error pages in order to redirect the visitor to the page concerned by the error. This ensures that the visitor is not lost in the event of an error on your website. There are different types of error:

• Error 400: The requested request is not understood by the server. This problem is often due to a syntax problem or a problem with the web browser.
• Error 401: The request could not be processed. This is often the case when the page is password-protected.
• Error 403: The request has been understood by the server but it refuses to give a reason for the refusal.
• Error 404: The web address or web page does not exist.
• Error 500: The server has encountered an unexpected error that has prevented it from processing the requested request. This is often a problem with the configuration of the .htaccess file or a problem with access rights (CHMOD) to the file.
