I just finished a new site for a client.. we did not set up any 404 or 301's redirects, however when you go to a non existent page.. it takes you to the blog page.

Is this a setting in CMS Builder that I can change?

ex. http://www.goguida.com

try this fake link http://www.goguida.com/CMSiscool

Hi,

There are no settings inside CMS Builder that set up custom 404 redirects. This is normally a function of your.htaccess file. Take a look at this article:

Take a look in your .htaccess file in the root of your site to see if you can find where this is taking place.

Hope this helps

I sent that to the hosting company.. and their response:
------------------
We are hosting this site on IIS,  I think there may be something additional needed to be done to handle a 404 error correctly with the PHP CMS you are using.   I do know there are work-arounds for Wordpress sites hosted IIS to redirect the 404 error correctly, among other things.
