The Error 404 "Page not found" is the error page displayed whenever
someone asks for a page that’s simply not available on your site. The
reason for this is that there may be a link on your site that was wrong
or the page might have been recently removed from the site. As there is
no web page to display, the web server sends a page that simply says
"404 Page not found".
The 404 error message is an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
standard status code. This "Not Found" response code indicates that
although the client could communicate to the server, the server could
not find what was requested or it was configured not to fulfill the
request.
The 404 "Not Found" error is not the same as the "Server Not Found"
error which you see whenever a connection to the destination server
could not be established at all.
The default 404 error page as shown on Internet Explorer is given below.
