FrontPage Extensions are a set of system files and folders needed by sites made with Microsoft FrontPage to function correctly. Without them, you can still use the app to create websites and upload your content on the web server, yet the sites will have restricted features, thus the user experience won't be the same. An additional advantage of using a website hosting service with FrontPage Extensions available is that you'll be able to publish your webpages directly on the server without using any third-party software as long as you enter your account FTP details in FrontPage. This feature will make it quite simple to start and keep your web presence even if you lack any previous knowledge, because you're able to update the site in the future just as fast.
FrontPage Extensions in Shared Hosting
Unlike numerous web hosting companies out there, we don't plan to end the support of FrontPage Extensions on our servers and this specific feature comes with every single Linux shared hosting package that we offer. We are aware of the fact that if you're switching companies and you're moving an existing website, you've probably worked on it over the years, so we give you the option to select whether you'll use some other app to rebuild the website or employ the content which you already own in order to avoid losing years of work. Enabling FrontPage Extensions on our end takes just a click inside the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel and you can use them separately for each individual domain or subdomain that you have in your account. Then you can upload your site because our system will add the needed FrontPage files in your domain folder, therefore you will not have to do anything else manually.
