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

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, select Hosting.
  3. Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
  4. In the Settings section of the Hosting Control Center, click the 404 Error Behavior icon.
  5. To edit the 404 error page preference for your hosting account, select one of the error-page options.

    6. 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.

  6. Click Continue.
  7. Review and verify your 404 error page preferences. If everything looks OK, click Submit.

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.
