Frontpage Extentions

[ardailey]

Does this hosting offer frontpage extentions as well?

Hello,

FutureQuest does not support FrontPage extensions. From our FAQ's

FutureQuest, as a Unix/Linux host, does not support Frontpage extensions. You may however use Frontpage to develop and publish your website, but features that require the specific extensions such as
Frontpage mail forms will not work. For these items we recommend using CGI scripts, many of which are already pre-installed on the servers.


The reason from our FAQ's

FutureQuest operates Unix systems (our servers are not running NT). Their "extensions" are created for use on NT systems, and though there are ports for Unix systems, they do not meet the security standards
generally adhered to with Unix software.


You may view the Preinstalled scripts at this location:

And as many of the FutureQuest site owners do use FrontPage we have a Tutorial regarding using FrontPage to upload your files to the FutureQuest servers:

You will also find many related threads within these forums regarding specific issues that site owners have found regarding FrontPage and their way of dealing with them.

I hope this helps :)
