"When your visitors mistype your web address or click on an outdated link and receive the dreaded error page, they'll most likely click on their back button and never return. However, you can recover a majority of your lost visitors simply by taking the time to create some customized, user friendly error pages." Those two paragraphs alone should be enough stimulus for you to immediately contact your Web host and determine what error messages they provide and how can you customize them. That's what da ol' mon Caj did. He immediately contacted Mary Boonenberg at GMB Webworks, http://www.gmbwebworks.com, and asked how.
