What is a Custom 404 Page?
A custom 404 page is a user-friendly error page that visitors see when they try to reach a page on your website that doesn't exist.
The number "404" refers to the HTTP status code for "Not Found," which is returned by the server when the requested URL cannot be found.
In many cases, a website's default 404 page is quite plain and unhelpful, often simply stating "404 Not Found" or "The requested URL was not found on this server." A custom 404 page is then created by web designers to replace this default error page.
To easily create a custom 404 page for your website, take advantage of our .htaccess code generator tool's 'Custom Error Page' feature.
