Redirect all 404 pages to index.html

Can you redirect all 404 pages to index.html? How?

In the Cpanel, under the Advanced category, there is a button called error pages. I would assume that you would do it there.

or you can this in an .htaccess file

ErrorDocument 404 /index.html

Or, in case you would like to be notified when someone receives a 404 error on your site, you could still have a 404 page for the ErrorDocument:

ErrorDocument 404 /error_pages/404.php

and then in 404.php:

<?php

mail("yourEmailAddr@example.com","404 Error On Site","Requested page: ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."\n\nIP Address: ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\n\nUser agent: ".$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
header("Location:http://www.example.com/index.html");
?>

I believe that's correct.

That way, when someone receives a 404 error on your site, an email will be sent to yourEmailAddr@example.com, with the subject 404 Error On Site, and the body will contain the requested page, the requester's IP address, and the requester's user agent (what OS they are using, browser, etc.).

That's what I do.
