When a page on your site does not load, an error message will be displayed to the visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages which will display, but what's common for all of them is that they're generic and almost certainly shall have absolutely nothing that is similar to the design of your website, which could be aggravating for any site visitor. That is the primary reason why web hosting providers have introduced a feature referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a number of different errors, website visitors shall see your unique content, which can be informative or amusing, based on your preference, and which shall match the overall design and style of your website, so the pages will not appear as if they are not part of your Internet site at all. You may use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
