All errors have a numerical code. This one happens to be 404 and it means exactly as it says - "Page Not Found". It does not attempt to give a reason.


It could be because the whole site has been removed, but is much more likely to be because either (1) the website owner has removed/changed the page you are looking for, or (2) because you have mis-typed the URL for the page (or been given a mis-typed URL).


Some websites intercept the 404 error and will either display an error page of its own, or more usually send you to its home page.

One or two sites have a "Marvin the Paranoid Android" type of scrolling message like this one:
