A 404 page is an error page that displays when someone tries to access a page on your Web site that doesn't exist.
Our hosting accounts allow you to use your home page as your 404 page, or you can create a custom one.
To Set Up Your Custom 404 Page
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, select Hosting.
- Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
- In the Settings section of the Hosting Control Center, click the 404 Error Behavior icon.
- To edit the 404 error page preference for your hosting account, select one of the error-page options.
- Click Continue.
- Review and verify your 404 error page preferences. If everything looks OK, click Submit.
NOTE: To use a customized 404 error page, you must first upload a custom page to your hosting account, and then enter the URL to your custom page.
NOTE: Links in the 404 page must be absolute, e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/page.html or else they will break when clicked from the 404 page.
