If you have checked out many websites, you've probably come across some error message every now and then. An error could occur in case the web server can't 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 aren't allowed to access a webpage (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that isn't on the server (Error 404). Encountering this sort of messages could often be irritating as the pages have absolutely nothing 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 style of your own website and that may have any content that you'd like - information why the error has appeared, a suggestion what you can do or even some humorous remark. This sort of feature shall help you keep the visitor on the website whatever the error or the reason for it.
