Creating a custom 404 error page

Step 1 Login to your cPanel.

Step 2 Under the Files section, click on File Manager.

Step 3 Select the Web Root (public_html/www) option.

Step 4 Click Go.

Step 5 From the top left-hand menu, click on New File.

Step 6 Under New File Name: type in 404.html then click Create New File.

Step 7 Right-click on the newly created 404.html then click on Edit.

Step 8 In the Text Editor pop-up, simply click on Edit.

Step 9 Now you'd want to type in the HTML code for your custom 404 page, in this example we're using a very basic one that you can copy if you'd like. However you can get very fancy with your own, even going so far as to copying the style and images of your main site and placing your error message in the middle of that.


<html>

<head>

<title>404 Page Not Found</title>

<body>



<H2>We're sorry but the page you're looking for could not be found</H2>



</body>

</html>

Step 10 After you've made your edits, click on Save Changes, and you should see a green Success pop-up.
