When someone visits a page that doesn’t exist, they see a 404 error. A custom error page keeps them on your site with helpful links.
Create a custom error page
- Log in to cPanel and open Advanced → Error Pages.
- Choose the domain.
- Click the error code to edit — usually 404 (Not Found).
- Write the page in HTML. Include a link back to your home page and a way to search or contact you.
- Click Save.
Tip: Using WordPress or another app? It usually has its own 404 page set by your theme, which takes priority over these.
