## Custom error codes Pages
You can provide your own 403 and 404 error pages by creating the `403.html` and
`404.html` files respectively in the root directory of the `public/` directory
that will be included in the artifacts. Usually this is the root directory of
your project, but that may differ depending on your static generator
configuration.
If the case of `404.html`, there are different scenarios. For example:
- If you use project Pages (served under `/projectname/`) and try to access
`/projectname/non/existing_file`, GitLab Pages will try to serve first
`/projectname/404.html`, and then `/404.html`.
- If you use user/group Pages (served under `/`) and try to access
`/non/existing_file` GitLab Pages will try to serve `/404.html`.
- If you use a custom domain and try to access `/non/existing_file`, GitLab
Pages will try to serve only `/404.html`.
## Redirects in GitLab Pages
Since you cannot use any custom server configuration files, like `.htaccess` or
any `.conf` file, if you want to redirect a page to another
location, you can use the [HTTP meta refresh tag][metarefresh].
Some static site generators provide plugins for that functionality so that you
don't have to create and edit HTML files manually. For example, Jekyll has the
[redirect-from plugin](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from).
## GitLab Pages Access Control **[CORE ONLY]**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/33422) in GitLab 11.5.
NOTE: **Note:**
GitLab Pages access control is not activated on GitLab.com. You can check its
progress on the
[infrastructure issue tracker](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues/5576).
You can enable Pages access control on your project, so that only
[members of your project](../../permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
(at least Guest) can access your website:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General > Permissions**.
1. Toggle the **Pages** button to enable the access control.
NOTE: **Note:**
If you don't see the toggle button, that means that it's not enabled.
Ask your administrator to [enable it](../../../administration/pages/index.md#access-control).
1. The Pages access control dropdown allows you to set who can view pages hosted
with GitLab Pages, depending on your project's visibility:
- If your project is private:
- **Only project members**: Only project members will be able to browse the website.
- **Everyone**: Everyone, both logged into and logged out of GitLab, will be able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
- If your project is internal:
- **Only project members**: Only project members will be able to browse the website.
- **Everyone with access**: Everyone logged into GitLab will be able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
- **Everyone**: Everyone, both logged into and logged out of GitLab, will be able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
- If your project is public:
- **Only project members**: Only project members will be able to browse the website.
- **Everyone with access**: Everyone, both logged into and logged out of GitLab, will be able to browse the website, no matter their project membership.
1. Click **Save changes**.
---
The next time someone tries to access your website and the access control is
enabled, they will be presented with a page to sign into GitLab and verify they
can access the website.
## Unpublishing your Pages
If you ever feel the need to purge your Pages content, you can do so by going
to your project's settings through the gear icon in the top right, and then
navigating to **Pages**. Hit the **Remove pages** button and your Pages website
will be deleted.
![Remove pages](img/remove_pages.png)
## Limitations
When using Pages under the general domain of a GitLab instance (`*.example.io`),
you _cannot_ use HTTPS with sub-subdomains. That means that if your
username/groupname contains a dot, for example `foo.bar`, the domain
`https://foo.bar.example.io` will _not_ work. This is a limitation of the
[HTTP Over TLS protocol][rfc]. HTTP pages will continue to work provided you
don't redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
[rfc]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818#section-3.1 "HTTP Over TLS RFC"
GitLab Pages [does **not** support group websites for subgroups](../../group/subgroups/index.md#limitations).
You can only create the highest-level group website.
