The default error page created by your hosting provider can be reason for the user to leave your website.

Or you can create it by using .htacces

In your .htaccess file,
you have to put and entry like this :

Code:

Some sample entries are as follows :

Code:

ErrorDocument 400 http://www.example.com/400.htm

ErrorDocument 403 http://www.example.com/403.htm
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.example.com/404.htm

cPanel Server Suite for Windows Server 2008

I was checking their site and found this one.

Product Announcement
cPanel, the leading Web hosting control panel software provider, will release its first Microsoft Windows Server^® 2008-based product line in beta later this year. Traditionally a Linux- and FreeBSD-based supplier of hosting automation tools, cPanel is collaborating with Microsoft to provide its customers with a greater choice in platform selection with Microsoft IIS7.

“Microsoft has shown a strong commitment to the hosting industry over the past several years,” said J. Nick Koston, CEO of cPanel. “cPanel’s Windows development team feels that Microsoft IIS7 offers a robust, high-performance Web server with increased security that the industry will quickly adopt. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and IIS7 with its modern architecture and support for legacy products was the natural starting point for our expanded product offering.”

If you would like more info on Windows Server 2008, you can attend a free road show presented by Microsoft.

Program Commitment
As many of you know cPanel has been working for several years on a version of cPanel and WebHost Manager that will run on Microsoft Windows Server. Recently we re-staffed the project and committed enough resources to the project to move it along at an accelerated rate. We expect to release the beta version of the product on December 15th 2007 and have the production release available by March 30th 2008.

Sign ups for beta testers are already closed. I wanted one but it was closed.
I like cPanel and I am using it on my all hosting accounts. I never used windows hosting. I will use windows when cPanel will release it for windows. Its best platform on linux/unix. Lets see what it can do on windows platform.
