Suppose the Event Page on your website is not available for access. Given the situation, you use a custom 404 Page to let your users know that the Event Page is down.
Why not use the Standard Server Reply?
You might be wondering what would happen if you do not create a 404 Page for your website. Well, the answer to your question is, nothing much. If for any unavoidable reason any page on your Website goes down, the server will send an automatic reply. Your visitors will see that reply on their screens. So what is wrong with the Standard Server Reply? Well, the problem is it is standard.
