Hypergurl How to make a custom 404 error page





Handy Tip:Instead of a boring old default 404, Can't find this page, it is more efficient to create a customized page. Therefore instead of your visitors going onto another website, you will retain them within your own and encourage them to look further.



How to make a Custom 404 Error Page:

Making a custom 404 error page isn't as hard to do as it first seems. You do need a webhost that supports customised 404 error pages.

If you are hosted on a free server that gives you their own default error page, for example Homestead, then you may not be able to customise your own. If you are unsure if your webhost supports them, then why not give it a try. Here is how it's done!

  • Make and upload a webpage called 404page.html

  • Open notepad.

  • Type only this into a new file, changing the url to point to the path of your 404page.html file. ErrorDocument 404 http://www.hypergurl.com/404page.html

  • Save the file as .htaccess.

Now upload this file into your root directory which contains all your other webpages.


Now give it a try!
