Hi, - About 404 error document... Make sure filenotfound.html is in public_html or www directory as your are using shared hosting... - Generally in share hosting environment you are not allowed to modify php.ini (GoDaddy allows), you can modify some property of httpd.config and php.ini using .htaccess but again depands on server administrator's permission.
