FrontPage Support

General Info

FrontPage extensions are included free upon request with all accounts. Keep in mind that you will need a copy of the FrontPage program from Microsoft before you can begin following the directions below:

If your account is a non-dedicated IP plan, please remember that your domain name will need to be activated on our nameservers before FrontPage will be available to your account.

Login:

Choose "Open FrontPage Web" from the File Menu in FrontPage Explorer. It will ask you for a Web Server of File Location. Enter yourdomain.com and then "list webs". Next, you will need to select (double-click) the root web. The requested login and password will be the same as your FTP account.

Usage:

FrontPage supplies you with two separate interfaces. The FrontPage explorer is used to manage the files within your web site. If you open a file in your web site another program called FrontPage Editor will open. When you are connected to your web then all changes made to any file you edit will be saved to your web.

*Note: Although the software documentation states that you can create the site on your computer and then "publish" it to the web server, we do not recommend this. Many times publishing to the server from your computer will loose the Interactive web bots features that you may have setup when designing your site on your local computer. We recommend that you create your entire site by being connected to your web and saving directly to the server. To move files already created on your web site use the Import command found under the File menu within FrontPage Explorer to select the files to import to the server. This is by far the best method for moving files from your hard drive to the server.

Additional support documents and complete usage instructions can be found at Microsoft's official FrontPage Home Page. http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage

NOTICE:

Microsoft discontinued Frontpage in 2003. Over the past few years updates to the Frontpage Extensions have ended, and Microsoft ended support of FP2003 in January 2009. The module required for our server, mod_frontpage which powers the FrontPage Extention features such as shared borders, hit counters and form processing is no longer supported by any upstream development team and has also reached end-of-life. We will continue to offer support as long as possible, however we cannot guarantee how long that will be. We recommend upgrading to Dreamweaver CS4 for the latest in features. A selection of free editors can also be found at http://www.developershome.com/webBuilding/freeWebEditors.asp that might be good replacements as well.
