Whenever a page on your site doesn't load, an error message shall be displayed to the visitor. As there are different errors, there are different pages which will display, but what's common for all of them is that they're generic and most likely will have absolutely nothing that is similar to the design of your site, which may be irritating for any site visitor. This 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 can be informative or humorous, depending on your personal preference, and which shall match the overall design of your Internet site, so the pages won't seem like they're not part of your website at all. You could use this option for a variety of errors - 400 (Bad request), 401 (Unauthorized), 403 (Forbidden) and 404 (File not Found).
