Each time a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what is standard for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly shall have nothing that is similar to the design of your Internet site, which can be irritating for any visitor. That is the main reason why web hosting service providers have introduced a function named Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, visitors shall see your customized content, which may be informative or witty, in accordance with your preference, and that will match the overall design and style of your website, so the pages won't seem like they're not 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).
