    I just found my friends host is stealing error page traffic!

    Is this normal?

    The 403 error redirects to a nakedhosting page with a bunch of ads on it.

    Seems shady to me.

    Is it possible that they give him the ability to change this to his own page and that this is their default?

      Almost all shared hosts do this, eg: hostgator.

          That seems f'ed up. I'm not paying to advertise their site. And what if I don't want a custom 403 page?

                      O.K. she actually has a $500 a month dedicated server and had no idea about this. Also her 404's redirect.

                      I'm going to fix these pages for her, she is not very tech savvy just blown away a host would do this.

                        Kalic please have your friend contact us and we can certainly change out the error page pages to custom for her. Sounds like she has been with us for a long time. We stopped adding our default error pages years ago. Please have her contact me and I will make this right for her, thank you

                              She should talk to the guy's at NatNet I'm sure they could get a real server.

                                $500 a month, and she's been there for years? Sounds like she's overpaying. Is it managed or unmanaged?

                                If unmanaged, I'd definitely recommend SecuredServers.com, they have awesome prices and they're the best host I've ever been with
