If you have looked at a lot of websites, you have probably encountered some error message every now and then. An error can take place if the web server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in so that you can see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you aren't allowed to access a page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that is not on the web server (Error 404). Encountering this type of messages can often be aggravating since the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual website. That’s why some website hosting companies allow you to apply your own error pages that will match the style of your own Internet site and which can have any content that you want - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to handle it or even some humorous comment. This type of feature will help you keep the visitor on the site whatever the error and the reason for it.
