How Do I Set Up A Custom 404 Page?
Upload a file called 404.html with your site and OxyPages serves it whenever a visitor hits a missing page. This works on every plan. Paid plans can instead turn on "404 Redirect To Home" in Website Settings to send missing URLs to the homepage - but an uploaded 404.html always wins.

Upload a file named 404.html at the top level of your website and OxyPages
serves it whenever a visitor requests a page that does not exist. This works
on every plan, including Free.
If your site has no 404.html, visitors who hit a missing URL see the
standard OxyPages "Page Not Found" page.
Redirect Missing Pages To Your Homepage
Paid plans have a second option: the "404 Redirect To Home" setting on the Website Settings page. With it on, requests for missing pages are redirected to your homepage instead of showing an error page.
The order of precedence is simple: an uploaded 404.html always wins, on
every plan. The redirect setting only applies when your site has no
404.html.
Tips For A Good 404 Page
- Keep it self-contained or use absolute paths (
/style.css, notstyle.css) so it looks right no matter which missing URL triggered it - Link back to your homepage
- The
404.htmlfile counts toward your storage like any other file, and the 5 MB per-HTML-page limit applies to it
