Hosting - What are frontpage extensions?

If you use Microsoft Frontpage, then you'll need a special group of programs called Frontpage extensions installed on your website. Without it, you cannot administer, author and browse a frontpage-based website.

Creating and publishing a website using Microsoft Frontpage has advantages. You simply create the webpages in a word-like program (visually - no coding), then click a button to publish your webpage directly to your website. It is ideal for beginners who do not want to mess around with learning HTML or any other programming.

Make certain the hosting package you intend ordering includes Frontpage extensions - once again they should come standard these days - Cpanel includes frontpage extensions.

Ask your web host if the latest versions of Frontpage extensions are installed on the server - its important because some earlier versions had bugs which caused conflict and data corruption.
