How to display a custom 404 error page

Your website displays a "404 File Not Found" error whenever a visitor tries to access a page on your site that doesn't exist. This could be because they followed an old link, misspelled the URL, or the page was moved or deleted.

You can replace the default 404 error page with one of your own. Your page could include a search form for your site and link users to your website's home page.

Here's how to display your own 404 error page:

1. Make the page you want to use for 404 errors and save it as 404.html.
2. Open Windows Notepad, and type in the line below:
   
   ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
3. Save the file as .htaccess.
4. Upload 404.html and .htaccess into the folder on your server where your website's home page is located.

Now whenever a visitor goes to a missing page, they'll see 404.html instead of the server's default 404 error page.
