You have just completed your first Microsoft FrontPage website and now you’re eager to publish your work on the World Wide Web. You upload the files to a free hosting service, and eagerly await the results.

But hey, what’s this? Why do you see a blank page instead of the images and content you so painstakingly created?

The answer is simple – most free web hosts do not support FrontPage e web designs.

FrontPage Web Hosting

If you’re using Microsoft FrontPage as an HTML or website administration tool, you need to be careful about where you host your website.

Look for Microsoft servers with FrontPage web hosting support. Paying a few extra dollars for this service is well worth it.

There are several available in the market today. You can find a qualified host in various online FrontPage web hosting directories.

FrontPage Server Extensions

FrontPage web hosting services support dynamic website functions created through Microsoft FrontPage, such as interactive forms and login or search capabilities.

For the strongest reliability, select a web host that runs on Linux and FrontPage Server extensions.

FrontPage server extensions enable special FrontPage web site features to work. These are basically a set of CGE program files that facilitate the server-side implementation of FrontPage.

If FrontPage server extensions are not pre-installed in your host’s server, you will not be able to maximize the dynamic potential of your FrontPage website.

Checking For FrontPage Web Hosting Capabilities

If your web host does not support any FrontPage features or components, you will be warned when you try to publish your website.

If you continue to upload your files via FTP without the appropriate FrontPage server extensions, you will get some strange results. The outcome will not be what you had imagined.

At this point, you can either remove the FrontPage components from your work, or, more pragmatically, look for a quality FrontPage web hosting service.
