If you have browsed lots of Internet sites, you have probably come across some error message every now and then. An error may occur if the website hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you must log in so that you can see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not able to access a webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which isn't on the website hosting server (Error 404). Encountering this sort of messages may sometimes be annoying because the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting service providers allow you to set your own error pages that will match the layout of your own website and which may have any content that you'd like - information why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to handle it or even some funny remark. This type of feature shall help you keep the visitor on the website regardless of the error and the reason for it.
