Creating Custom Error Pages



When? This should be used to display something other than the standard error pages, so instead of seeing an error, the user may be offered a list of options (all in the style of your site).
NOTE: Custom error pages smaller than 10k will not appear in Internet Explorer.
How? After creating customised error pages, when a user types the wrong URL or enters incorrect information on the browser, your nice error page will be displayed instead of the default one.
HowTo:
  • Go to Custom Error Pages.
  • Select the type of custom error page you would like to create (Every webmasters nightmare, the commonly seen 404 error - is probably the most often customised error page).
  • Enter HTML code in the text box for this error page.
  • You may also include some variables which dynamically include information about the visitor, these are inserted by clicking on the buttons at the top (Referring URL, Visitor's IP Adddress, Requested URL, Server Name, User's Browser, Status Code).
  • When your are satisfied with what you have entered, save the changes by clicking Save.
  • That's it! Repeat the process for the other error pages.
