FrontPage extensions are provided free with all web hosting packages.

What is Microsoft FrontPage?

Microsoft FrontPage is a WYSIG (what you see is what you get) editor.  

It allows you to create a fully functioning web site on your local PC, and then seamlessly upload it to your account, thus avoiding the need for using FTP clients and so forth. 

FrontPage is especially useful if you're planning on building / managing many webs, as it allows you to create all of them in separate accounts, both on your local computer, as well as the server.  It has a number of built in features and templates, such as web themes, guest books, and ability to allow other users to author, and administrate your web with their FrontPage clients by assigning them private user accounts. 

You can also password protect directories using the FrontPage administrative features

Seamlessly integrating FrontPage with your web site:

If you want FrontPage to seamlessly integrate with your web site, then you must request the "FrontPage Extensions" to be installed. 

You were given the option to do this when signing up for your account package, however you may have them installed at a later time by sending a request to support or using the activation tool in your control panel.

How it works:

The most common asked question users ask when using FrontPage is:

"The default page still shows up even after I have uploaded my index page."

If this happens, you need to delete the default page we installed as your welcome page before your index page will show up. To do this enter your public_html folder and delete our index file, or make sure you select "overwrite existing files" the first time you upload.

Publishing a Web

After you have built your html documents and are ready to upload them to our server:

1. Open the web you've created on your PC using FP Explorer.

2. Choose File > Publish

3. Enter "http://www.yourdomain.com" as the Destination Web Server to publish to our server.

Please select the option "overwrite existing files" the first time you upload.

4. You will be asked for your USERNAME and PASSWORD. This is your domain's username and password that was sent to you in your welcome email. 

If you're not sure what it is or if you aren't allowed past this point, use your control panel to create a new password.

5. You can watch the progression of the upload.

Please be advised of the following issues before proceeding:

Uploading a web using a URL or IP number:

FrontPage will "Always" display the last "remote server" a particular web was uploaded to.  If you have never uploaded the site to a remote server, then it will not display the last remote site it was uploaded to.  

If your domain name "is not" officially answering to your new account on our server as of yet, then you can try using your web sites IP number until you're certain that http://www.youdomain.com/ is answering to this account. 

Please Note!  FrontPage will not always function correctly when attempting to upload a web with an IP number, as opposed to a fully qualified domain name URL.  If this happens, please wait until your official domain name is responding to our servers.  

Control Panel administration features should never be used to administer a FrontPage web, as it will damage it.
