20 Best 404 Error Pages!

The “404 Error” meaning “File Not Found” is one of the common errors you find on the Internet. It occurs when you visit broken links (Old links, Expired links, Etc.). When you visit a page that doesn’t exist, an error 404 shows up.

This error looks quite frustrating and is very ugly. Also we get angry because we don’t get the page we want. But if the error look attractive and fancy, we surely will like it very much. Attractive things make mind cool and fresh.

In this post of mine, I have brought together some 20 error 404′s I saw in some websites. I feel they’re good looking and attractive! Please do see them and don’t forget to comment here!

The error pages are great.But unfortunately I can’t create one because I use blogger.But I will surely create one when I switch to self host.

Sure man! I suggest you to turn to a elf hosted blog now!!! Otherwise you’ll be in trouble later. The guy who commented above, Rajesh offers such services of migrating from Blogger to WP. Why not consult him? He also offers these services for free sometimes. So you’ll be able to migrate to WP from Blogger. Plz do it now dude!!

Your 404 page is some what similar to mine! BTW, I think blogs need to have a simple 4o4 page as yours and mine except those designer blogs. What do you say?

Oh Damn this reminded me of editing my 404, I aint using any. A good 404 is a requirement for a good blog. All these theme changes in my blog has made me forget a lot of things. Atlast I have got a perfect theme. Now I will add a 404 page. Thanks for reminding me. By the way a great collection. Wish I could make a 404 page like those. Lol

Cool pages. People do care about 404 pages as well ;) and in some cases I found, there 404 pages are better designed then there home page, lol.
I like the Fiverr.com 404 page the most, Quite unexpected you didn’t mentioned that here. There 404 appears differently each time and has a different video on it every time.

Saksham Talwar December 24, 2011 at 3:42 PM

When I published this post, I am not sure if Fiverr existed or at least I didn’t know about it. ;)

I will prepare a v2 soon :)
