Excellent 404 instructions are here:
http://www.plinko.net/404/
Just create your 404 page and insert a redirect.
Also on that site are hilarious 404 pages.

The simplest thing is the check your hosts control panel. Most of the host I have sites on right now have a simple option to resolve with / without / or both using the www.

Thanks Taltos ,I found the way to do that :-)
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
In .htaccess file of course :-)

Ahhh, you went the fun way
A lot of hosts give you a quick and easy checkbox option.

Taltos.. I'mnot able to access my control panel atm.. but.. if you're using cPanel, does that allow you to do that?
I'm not sure if it does... because if it doesn't, I would like to integrate it into my web hosting server features for my clients.

Izzmo, the only one I had login info for at hand was one of the sites hosted on Dreamhost. I don't know what they are using for the control panel. It is not one of the better control panels I have seen. I will try to check out some of the other hosts that I have sites I work on and see which ones had that.

Here is what I use for an error page, it allows several choices for the user, so in my opinion, it's the best to use.

Hope this helps!

There's a easy to use script which redirects 404's to any page you select on your web site and it send you a email to notify you when 404 errors are found. Here's a link with the info.. http://www.advancedwebsitetools.com/404-redirect.html

or make a .htaccess
on it add the command:
ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html missing.html = page your sending them to.

This is a really cool idea! I would never have thought about monetizing the 404 on my own.
Thanks,
Dennis

IMHO the "best" 404 page would be one that matched your site so that visitors wouldn't get confused. The way to go about it can vary depending on your hosting company too. I have Yahoo hosting for two of my sites and found that I could not upload a .htaccess file, but I could construct a custom 404 including my full navigation. I gave it the file name that Yahoo specified and it works just fine.

You don't need to create a 404 page looking like the famous examples. Simply create a blank page with an explanation and some links for the users to go on.
