Each time a page on your site doesn't load, an error message will be displayed to the visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages that will display, but what's standard for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly will have practically nothing in common with the design of your site, which may be aggravating for any website visitor. That is the reason why hosting providers have introduced a function known as Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, visitors will see your custom made content, which could be informative or amusing, in accordance with your preference, and which will match the design and style of your Internet site, so the pages shall not appear as if they're not part of your website at all. You could use this option for numerous errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
