Error document. ...

Why lose 2% of your visitor when you with a simple technic can guide visitor to the index
and not to "cant be found" page's when someone spell the URL wrong or call up a no longer existing /blabla.html page from your domain. ....

Step one:
Open a new document, name it /404.html

Paste this tags between 'head – /head'

<meta name="robots"
content="noindex,nofollow">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5;
URL=http://www.dit-domæne.dk">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Page-Enter" CONTENT="revealtrans(duration=4.0,
transition=2)">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Page-Exit" CONTENT="revealtrans(duration=4.0,
transition=2)">

Step two:
Open notepad, name it htaccess

Write:
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.your-domain/404.html

When you upload the files via FTP

you shall rename the htaccess to
   .htaccess (important)

Now the fil should be in your root
and your webhotel support will assist
and place it in the right folder.
(I hope so, depending on the server)

Why not ask if your HOST provide this kind of service and your visitor will never be stopped by a 404 ERROR command.

Have fun :O)
