WEBCS - Miscrosoft FrontPage

Microsoft Frontpage Support

WEBster Computing Services servers offers full support for Microsoft FrontPage (versions 98, 99, 2000 and 2002) and its server extensions on all servers. Future versions will be added as our staff clears them for server use (noting that initial releases usually take up to a year to de-bug safely). Please note that versions are backward compatible, so you can use a newer version of the software on a server that is supporting an older version!

Microsoft FrontPage is a software package for Windows 95 and Windows NT. It was originally developed by Vermeer Technologies, and then bought out by Microsoft.

Microsoft FrontPage is used to develop and manage Web sites. It is generally considered one of the better Web site management packages available. Because some of its advanced capabilities require server-side support, its "Server Extensions" must be installed into your account before you can make use of those advanced features. If you do not need features such as fill-out forms, discussion forums, or searching, the Server Extensions are not required. To use Microsoft FrontPage without the Server Extensions, visit the Microsoft Web site for their Free Publishing Wizard.

Our FrontPage configuration has these features:

You can administer your own "Root Web" in your domain
You can create "Sub Webs" at any time, without a server restart
2.5Mb of your disk space is consumed by the server extensions
Each "Sub Web" takes only 10Kb of disk space
Password protection is fully operational
There is never any need to wait for a server restart!
Your files remain under your own ownership, and are not vulnerable to modification by any other FrontPage user

To use FrontPage and the Server Extensions with your account, you must:

Have any account except STARTER/STARTERplus.
Have a fully functional real domain name such as www.yourname.com.
Run FrontPage with your dial-up connection active.
Use the "Open Web" command, specifying your full domain name as the "Web Server", with the www. prefix!

Once you have successfully opened your "Root Web", you are free to use all of the features of FrontPage. You can create "Sub Webs" at any time (each requires about 10Kb of disk space). When you do so, FrontPage will warn you that the Web server needs to be restarted. Please note that we do not provide technical support or guidance for FRONTPAGE. It is up to the individual user to learn this system if needbe.

How to change your frontpage password:

           in the frontpage "Tools" menu, choose "Change Password."
           Enter your old password, and your new password
           twice.

Frontpage installation request: ($15 installation fee applies to accounts active more than 2 weeks)
Note that frontpage can not be added to starter and starterplus class accounts. Contact us to upgrade your
account before requesting frontpage setup if you own one of these account types.

Important Note! You may not "resell" access to "Sub Webs" of your account to third parties. This is equivalent to sharing your account password with other persons, which is forbidden!
