Is FrontPage still offered?




Warning: Microsoft discontinued support for FrontPage extensions on Linux servers in 2006. You should exercise caution when installing FrontPage extensions, as they have been known to cause security issues. It is recommended that you use another publishing method, such as FTP or WebDAV.

Although,  Microsoft FrontPage is an obsolete technology that is close to a decade old.  The feature is available on our systems as a non-supported feature.   It has problems just like every other host has.

We encourage customers to eventually migrate to something newer to manage your site with.  For example, many of our clients went to WordPress and that is a fantastic content management tool with a wealth of features and plugins too.   We appreciate your understanding on this. 

Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced plans have FrontPage available within the Advanced section of cPanel.

Limitation: You can only install it on the root level, and you cannot use form mailer "bots" with forms anymore because that is no longer functioning due to spammers abusing that feature.

Note: Frontpage will disable some features (like htaccess, password protected folders, and some other items, so do note that too.)
