If you have cPanel with your hosting then its easy, just click Error Pages then 404.

If not, try to find out if you casn use .htaccess files with your hosting as this is the 'manual' way of doing it and you need to add:

code:
ErrorDocument 404 404.php

You just need to make a file called 404.shtml and upload it to your main area, it should be okay then afaik... its just basic html afaik... heres what I have in my 404 if you want to mess about or whatever:

code:
<html>
<Head>
<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="http://www.skarz.co.uk/style.css" TYPE="text/css">
<title>Error 404</title>
</head>
<body background="http://www.skarz.co.uk/images/back_main.gif" text="white">
<center>
<img src="http://www.skarz.co.uk/mainlogo.jpg" alt="mainlogo" border="0"><br></center>
<br>
<font size=5 color=white>Error 404</font></b></p><font size=2 color=white>
The page you are requesting cannot be found. Type in the right address fool.... otherwise you're not going to get anywhere are you!!!!!!!</font><br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.skarz.co.uk" target="_self">Click here to go back to the main site</a>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=1 color=white>
<i>Referring url: <!--#echo var="HTTP_REFERER" --><br>
IP: <!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" --><br>
Requested URL: <!--#echo var="REQUEST_URI" --><br>
Browser: <!--#echo var="HTTP_USER_AGENT" --></i></font>
</body>
</html>

Where is it hosted?  Chances are if the host is using a custom 404 themselves you're not going to get your own.

I suggest having some fun with .htaccess

They alredy have a page with Error 404 for all the pages... but I was thinking that I can personalizate them, I'm not sure...
