Each time a page on your Internet site doesn't load, an error message will be shown to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages which will show up, but what's standard for all of them is that they are generic and almost certainly shall have practically nothing that resembles the design of your site, which could be irritating for any visitor. This is the reason why hosting companies have introduced a feature called Custom Error Pages. For a variety of different errors, site visitors will see your customized content, which could be informative or funny, in accordance with your taste, and that will match the overall design of your site, so the pages will not appear as if they aren't part of your Internet site at all. You could use this option for a number of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
