If you have looked at a lot of Internet sites, you have probably stumbled upon some error message from time to time. An error can occur when 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 are not allowed to access some page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that isn't on the website hosting server (Error 404). Encountering this sort of messages may sometimes be annoying as the pages have absolutely nothing in common with the actual Internet site. That’s why some hosting companies permit you to apply your own error pages that will match the style of your own Internet site and which could have any content that you'd like - information why the error has occurred, a suggestion how to proceed or even some humorous comment. This type of feature can help you keep the visitor on the website irrespective of the error or the reason for it.
