Ever wonder how domains and subdomains have their own 404 page? Well use this simple tutorial to create one of your own!

STEP 1:
Open a text editor (such as notpad), and create the page. Create it as you would any other html page. Here is an example of a VERY simple page:

< html>
< head>
< title>Page Not Found!!< /title>
< /head>
< body>
Uh oh! You've reached a 404! Go < a href="home.html">home< /a>!
< /body>< /html>

Again this is a VERY simple page. I recommend adding an image, as well as a link to your email or a contact form so your visitors can report the error.

STEP 2:
Now that you've created the page, save it as 404.shtml. It is very importanl that you save it as a shtml file, not an html file.

STEP 3:
Now upload the 404.shtml file into the main directory of your site! Now whenever a broken link is clicked or a url is typed incorrectly, this page will show up!

For an example you can view my 404 page here. Please do not take for your own use, this is an example only.
