Why Use Custom Error Pages?
The web server will automatically show an error page to display error messages like 404 (Not Found) or 500 when an error occurs on a website (Internal server error). Generic/default error pages have the drawback of being information-poor. Even worse, the user will leave your website as a result of these error pages. This tutorial will demonstrate how to configure unique error pages using cPanel.
