I know this is brought up alot, however..

There have been some users asking about the error pages, I understand x10 uses them for advertising, which is a good idea. What are the chances of x10 allowing custom error pages, and requiring ads on them, or forcing ads on them.. Like, somehow require the pages to be stored in an /errorpage directory, in the format of 404.html, 500.html and so on, and force ads on those pages? Because I believe, correct me if i'm wrong, even the ad-free accounts have them on the 404 pages, don't they? So, you could force them even on those accounts to still show it.

not a bad idea....
Edit:
could do it by allowing a custom html that is displayed in a frame of the error page

 

[Russ]

Yeah, not a bad idea.. i.e. hardcode the server to use a pre-made one, with frames.. the top one locked to ads, and the bottom one have it dynamically include the user's error page that they created.. A simple php script could do this. Either require a set name for the file, in a set location under public_html.. I am not sure how cPanel works, but doesn't it already force pages to be named like 404.shtml and so on if you had the option enabled to allow them?

exactly what I was thinking however don't know enought about cPanel either...

I'm not sure but I'm able to use custom 404 and other error pages. I just include a .htaccess file in my public_html containing these lines:
ErrorDocument 404 /error.php?error=404
ErrorDocument 500 /error.php?error=500

I'm on add-free absolut

I don't believe you are allowed to use custom error pages, although nothing is written in the Ts&Cs

There would be too much work involved making some type of script to force ads on just 404 pages.
