If you have looked at loads of sites, you have probably stumbled upon some error message from time to time. An error could occur if the server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in in order to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not allowed to access a page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which is not on the hosting server (Error 404). Receiving this kind of messages could often be frustrating since the pages don't have anything in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some website hosting service providers permit you to apply your own error pages that will match the design of your own Internet site and that may have any content which you'd like - info why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to handle it or even some funny comment. This sort of function can help you keep the visitor on the website regardless of the error and the reason for it.
