When a page on your site does not load, an error message shall be shown to the website visitor. Because there are different errors, there are different pages that'll show up, but what's standard for all of them is that they're generic and most likely will have practically nothing that resembles the layout of your website, which may be annoying for any website visitor. That is the primary reason why hosting providers have introduced a feature referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a wide variety of different errors, website visitors shall see your customized content, which may be informative or humorous, in accordance with your preference, and that will match the design of your site, so the pages will not appear as if they're not part of your Internet site at all. You could use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
