|
What is FrontPage hosting?
FrontPage hosting is designed to compliment websites built using the popular Microsoft FrontPage editing software. By hosting your site with a FrontPage host you will be in a position to run features and applications that are unique to FrontPage constructed websites. Both Unix and Windows platforms support FrontPage hosting, however it is important that the platform you choose is FrontPage Enabled, that is, has FrontPage extensions installed.
What are the advantages of using FrontPage hosting?
A website that has been designed and created using Microsoft FrontPage will benefit the most from being hosted by a FrontPage enabled host. Features and applications that are unique to FrontPage will run more smoothly. FrontPage hosting can also work out more economical as because FrontPage forms part of the Office XP package there is no need to purchase an expensive standalone 'WYSIWYG' editor. Then there is the compatibility issue. Content written using Microsoft products - such as Word and Excel - can be uploaded directly to the web server.
