Not every host enables the feature. For many website hosts, their control panel will have an option to enable a custom 404 error page and you will enter in the name of the page you created. On Unix type servers you can often do this in the .htaccess file with an entry like: <code>ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html</code> Your best bet is to check with your hosting company about enabling the 404 error page you already created.
