Custom Error Pages

Since there are different errors, there are different pages that will show up, but what is typical for all of them is that they are generic and most likely shall have absolutely nothing that resembles the design of your Internet site, which may be aggravating for any website visitor. This is the reason why web hosting service providers have introduced a function known as Custom Error Pages. For a variety of different errors, website visitors will see your customized content, which could be informative or amusing, based on your choice, and which will match the overall design of your Internet site, so the pages shall not look like they aren't part of your site at all. You could use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
