If you have checked out lots of websites, you've probably come across some error message once in a while. An error could occur in case the server can't process a request (Error 400), if you have to log in in order to see some content and you have not done so (Error 401), if you aren't permitted to access a webpage (Error 403) or when a link leads to a file which isn't on the web server (Error 404). Receiving this sort of messages can often be irritating as the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual site. That’s why some web hosting providers allow you to use your own error pages that'll match the design of your own website and which may have any content which you would like - details why the error has taken place, a suggestion how to proceed or even some witty remark. This type of feature can help you keep the visitor on the website irrespective of the error and the reason for it.
