Custom Error Pages
Understand what a Custom Error Page is, what role does it serve and the way to create one.
If you have looked at many websites, you've probably come across some error message every now and then. An error can take place when the website hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so that you can see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access some page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which isn't on the website hosting server (Error 404). Receiving this kind of messages can sometimes be aggravating as the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some website hosting service providers allow you to set your own error pages that will match the design of your own site and which may have any content that you would like - details why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to proceed or even some funny comment. This type of function will help you keep the visitor on the site irrespective of the error and the reason for it.
