Creating a Custom 404 Error Page

This demo will show you how to add a custom 404 Error Page through your cPanel.

The purpose of a 404 or Not Found error message is to let your visitors know that the server could not find what was requested. For example, if a visitor attempted to visit:

http://example.com/shop

and you did not have a shop directory a 404 error message would be displayed to let the visitor know that the server could not find that directory (since it does not exist). With a custom 404 page, you can provide helpful information to the user and display links that may help them find what they're looking for.

[2] Select the Domain from the drop down menu you wish to create a custom error page for a select "Go"

[3] Locate and Click the "404-Wrong Page" link

[4] Enter your custom HTML into the editor box

You can find some commonly used Tags located above the large editor, clicking on them will insert them into the editor.

[5] Select "Save" to create your custom 404 Error Page.
