IIS8

we are currently using IIS 8 on our new windows VPS. We have a content management system we install for all our apps we build, but we are finding it incredibly painful as our hosting provider requires that we change the default 404 error page from the default settings everytime we create a site.

Is there an easy way within IIS to automatically apply this same default directory within each website so we dont need to edit it on every website we build ?

thanks in advance
