STEP 1 : Creating The Error Page
- Don't put the word "error" on your page. It automatically makes viewers think they did something wrong.
- Make it so it matches the rest of your site and is attractive.
- Link back to your site.
- Upload your page to your main directory as 404error.html.
STEP 2 : Linking To The Error Page
- Paste the following code into notepad.
- The E and D must be capitalized and 2 spaces before 404.
- Change WWW.YOURSITE.COM to whatever your site is.
STEP 3 : Finishing
- Name the file you just created .htaccess
- Upload to your main directory.
