When a page on your site does not load, an error message will be shown to the site visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages that'll display, but what is typical for all of them is that they're generic and almost certainly shall have practically nothing that resembles the layout of your Internet site, which could be irritating for any visitor. That is the reason why web hosting companies have introduced a function called Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, site visitors will see your custom content, which may be informative or witty, based on your preference, and which shall match the layout of your Internet site, so the pages won't appear as if they aren't part of your site at all. You can use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
