404 Page

Definition by Best Host Ratings

Also known as missing page or 404 HTTP error. It is a special response defined by the HTTP protocol. The server tells the browser that the document you have requested cannot be found on the server. Usually a broken hyperling will result in 404 error. Most web hosting providers give an option to the user to modify the appearance of the 404 page or set their own HTML document to act as an 404 page.
