If you have browsed many Internet sites, you have probably come across some error message every now and then. An error could take place if the server can't process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you are not permitted to access a page (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file that isn't on the web server (Error 404). Getting this kind of messages can sometimes be frustrating since the pages don't have anything in common with the actual website. That’s why some website hosting companies permit you to set your own error pages which will match the design of your own Internet site and which may have any content that you want - info why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to handle it or even some witty remark. This sort of function can help you keep the visitor on the site irrespective of the error and the reason for it.
