If you have looked at a lot of websites, you have probably stumbled upon some error message now and again. An error could take place if the hosting server can't process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in in order to see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access a page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that isn't on the server (Error 404). Getting this kind of messages can often be aggravating as the pages have nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting companies permit you to set your own error pages that will match the design of your own site and which may have any content which you'd like - information why the error has occurred, a suggestion what you can do or even some funny comment. This kind of function will help you keep the visitor on the site no matter the error or the reason for it.
