If a certain page on a site does not load for some reason or in case a link is broken, the visitor will see an error page with some generic message. The page will have nothing in common with the rest of the site, that may make the visitor leave the website. A solution in cases like this is a function made available from some hosting providers - the option to set up your own custom error pages that will have identical design and style as your Internet site and that may contain any images or text which you want dependent upon the particular error. There are four common errors that may occur and they involve these so-called HTTP status codes - 400, when your world-wide web browser sends a bad request to the hosting server and it can't be processed; 401, in case you are supposed to log in to see a webpage, but you have not done this yet; 403, if you do not have a permission to view a certain page; and 404, in case a link which you've clicked leads to a file which doesn't exist. In all of these cases, visitors will be able to see your personalized content instead of a generic error page.
