FrontPage Extensions are a group of system files and folders needed by websites created with Microsoft FrontPage in order to function efficiently. Without them, you could still use the application to make sites and upload your content on the web server, but the sites will have restricted features, thus the user experience will not be the same. An additional advantage of using a hosting service with FrontPage Extensions available is the fact that you're able to publish your pages directly on the server without the need for any third-party software as long as you enter your account FTP info in FrontPage. This attribute will make it really easy to start and keep your web presence even if you do not have any previous knowledge, because you'll be able to update the site in the future just as quickly.
FrontPage Extensions in Web Hosting
While many website hosting providers nowadays cease their support for FrontPage Extensions, we don't have such plans. We think that you should not be restricted with regard to the software programs that you are able to take advantage of to create your site and you should have a choice if you will work with FrontPage or a different app. In case you already have a site, you are able to move it over in order to avoid losing many years of work as FrontPage Extensions are supported with all our web hosting plans without exception. You can activate them for any domain or subdomain in your account by pressing the Edit button for it from the Hosted Domains area of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Activating the option takes only a few clicks and then our system will add all the required FrontPage system files inside the domain/subdomain folder, therefore all that you will need to do afterwards will be to upload your website files.
FrontPage Extensions in Semi-dedicated Hosting
FrontPage Extensions are available with all the semi-dedicated server accounts that we provide and we don't plan to remove this feature from any of our packages, therefore you will not be forced to change companies or the web design app which you employ like you have to do with lots of providers nowadays. It is our belief that many years of work should not go in vain, so in case you move a website designed with FrontPage here, it will run correctly and you will be able to host it on our cloud platform in the long run. You can activate the feature with just a few clicks in your account - log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, visit the Hosted Domains section, click on the Edit button for a certain domain/subdomain, then click on the FrontPage Extensions option which you'll see and you'll be all set. Our system will do the rest, therefore you can proceed and upload your website content without having to do anything else manually.
