FrontPage Extensions (optional extra)




IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Microsoft ended development and support for FrontPage Extensions in June 2006. Due to the security risks this may pose, along with the end of support, we strongly recommend that you no longer create web pages incorporating the Extensions feature in the MS FrontPage software. This option is no longer available as an add-on on our servers.

Websites designed using Microsoft FrontPage can have FrontPage extensions installed on the server to allow publishing via FrontPage and for certain FrontPage specific components to operate, such as the hit counter and search facility. By default, your account does not have FrontPage extensions installed. 

The FrontPage 2002 extensions are backward compatible with all versions of FrontPage.

Publishing to Your FrontPage 2002 Domain

After you have designed your website in FrontPage, ensure you have saved all your edited files to your local disk and then select Publish Web from the File menu within FrontPage.

You will then be asked for the location to publish your website to. Enter your domain name here, i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com. 

After this, you will be prompted for a username and password which has permission to publish files to that location. Enter the username/password you received when you had FrontPage extensions installed.

When you have entered these details, click OK and FrontPage will begin the process of uploading your site to the server. Note that you may be prompted for the password a few times during this process. After publishing is complete, you will receive a confirmation message.

Please note that if you use MS FrontPage to create your web pages, it doesn't mean that you must use FrontPage Extensions or the Publish Web feature.  You can still create your web pages without these and upload via FTP software if you wish.
