If a page on your website doesn't load, an error message shall be shown to the visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages that'll display, but what's standard for all of them is that they're generic and in all probability shall have practically nothing that resembles the design of your website, which could be irritating for any site visitor. That is the main reason why website hosting service providers have introduced a feature known as Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, visitors shall see your customized content, which could be informative or witty, depending on your preference, and that will match the design and style of your website, so the pages shall not appear as if they aren't part of your Internet site at all. You may use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
