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:
 
<nowiki>http://example.com/shop</nowiki>
 
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.
