Well let me introduce myself in this part of the forum.

I'm a full time college student going to Brown Mackie for their Computer Networking Administration. I just finished my CompTIA A+ classes. I've been wanting to host sites for a while so I finally did it. I have an old PC box I threw Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition that I downloaded from Dreamspark. I pulled apart my 1TB Exterall HDD to use as the main drive. Its currently got 1GB of ram, it should have 2 GB of Dual channel DDR, but one of the sticks failed, just waiting till I can find a box about the right size so I can ship it back to get a new one.

I'm using IIS7 to host two websites, one for my school club, or at least it will be soon enough. and the other for personal use just to host files for myself instead of having to upload the file to tinypic or someother site.

I was wondering if anybody uses custom error pages, and if you do how you went about making them, like what did you model them after?

I have a custom 403, and a 404. I modeled the 403 after a the page you get while using chrome when it finds issues with a site such as if the website you are visiting has security issues. and I modeled the 404 after a BSOD. They are written using basic HTML. These are the two first pages I have written 100% by my self. CSS is next but for now how did I do and what are yours like?
I really need a new signature.

Please, please don't use javascript pop-ups. They're really really annoying, especially when you're already on an error page. :(


(And I don't use custom ones anymore. Doesn't seem worth my time :\)

If there is one good thing about Web 2.0, it's the elimination of those javascript boxes. :3 AJAX overlays own.

how about something like what PC uses: http://www.pokecommunity.com/404.shtml (also our 401, 403, and 406)

or perhaps something like this custom 404 page I use on a few of my sites: http://www.yugioh-world.com/404.shtml

the possibilities are endless.
