If a page on your site does not load, an error message will be displayed to the visitor. Since there are different errors, there are different pages which will show up, but what's standard for all of them is that they're generic and most likely shall have nothing that is similar to the layout of your Internet site, which can be frustrating for any visitor. This is the main reason why website hosting service providers have introduced a function referred to as Custom Error Pages. For a range of different errors, visitors shall see your unique content, which may be informative or humorous, in accordance with your taste, and which shall match the design of your site, so the pages won't seem like they aren't part of your website at all. You could use this option for many errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
