Each time a page on your website does not load, an error message will be shown to the website visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages which will display, but what's standard for all of them is that they are generic and in all probability will have absolutely nothing that is similar to the design of your website, which can be annoying for any visitor. This is the main reason why web hosting providers have introduced a feature named Custom Error Pages. For a variety of different errors, visitors shall see your custom made content, which may be informative or amusing, in accordance with your taste, and which shall match the overall style and design of your site, so the pages shall not appear as if they are not 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).
