How To Create Custom Error Page In cPanel

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create custom error page in cPanel.

When a user of your website experience error like a 400 (Not Found) error to 500 (Internal server error) error, the user will be taken to the default error page. Using the cPanel, you can create a custom error page using Error Pages.

Let’s get started.

How To Create Custom Error Page In cPanel

• Log into your cPanel.
• Scroll down to the Advanced section and click Error Pages.

• Select the domain that you want to create the custom error page for from the Managing drop-down option.

• Select the error from the list of Common Error Codes.
• You will be taken to the editor page. You can enter HTML code here, or insert premade tags if you want. Here’s the list of available tags:

1. Referring URL – Lists the URL you came from.
2. Visitor’s IP Address – Lists the IP address of your site visitor.
3. Requested URL – Shows the URL you are attempting to access.
4. Server Name – Shows the name of the server.
5. Visitor’s Browser – Lists the visitor’s browser type.
6. Redirect Status Code – This will display the error message code, such as 500, or 404, etc.

Setup Your .htaccess File
