I would like to make a custom error message for my site.

What's involved in making one?

This will depend on which server you are using.

For Apache [httpd.apache.org] there is the ErrorDocument [httpd.apache.org] directive.

I'm being hosted on a IIS server.

Sorry, but I know next to nothing about IIS. I uninstalled it from my Windows server a couple of years ago ;)

Is it your own server or is it being hosted by a ISP. If hosted then you will have to ask the ISP if you can use a custon error page, if so just create a html page, upload it to the site and prob tell the isp what you want to use.

If you have your own server or can admin your hosted one then if you go to Internet Services Manager,modify your websites properties and go to custom errors tab, you can then set html pages for all the different types of errors, 404, 500 etc.
