FrontPage Extensions are a group of system files and folders needed by websites designed with Microsoft FrontPage so as to perform efficiently. Without them, you could still use the application to build websites and upload your content on the web server, but 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're able to publish your web pages directly on the server without using any third-party software as long as you enter your account FTP details in FrontPage. This characteristic will make it really easy to start and maintain your web presence even if you do not have any previous knowledge, as you are able to update the site in the future just as quickly.
FrontPage Extensions in Hosting
While many website hosting providers nowadays stop their support for FrontPage Extensions, we don't have such plans. We believe that you should not be restricted when it comes to the software that you are able to work with in order to create your site and it is best to have a choice whether you will employ FrontPage or another app. In case you already have a site, you can easily move it over in order to avoid losing years of work because FrontPage Extensions are supported with all of our hosting plans with no exception. You could enable them for each domain name or subdomain inside your account by clicking on the Edit button for it inside the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Activating the option takes a couple of clicks and then our system will add all the needed FrontPage system files in the domain/subdomain folder, which means that all that you'll need to do afterwards will be to upload your site files.
FrontPage Extensions in Semi-dedicated Servers
FrontPage Extensions are accessible with all semi-dedicated server accounts that we provide and we don't plan to remove this feature from our plans, therefore you will not be forced to switch companies or the website design app that you use as you have to do with numerous providers these days. It is our belief that long years of work should not go in vain, so if you move a site made with FrontPage here, it'll work correctly and you can host it on our cloud platform in the future. You can activate the feature with just a couple of clicks in your account - log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, visit the Hosted Domains section, click the Edit button for a specific domain/subdomain, then click on the FrontPage Extensions feature that you will see and you'll be ready. Our system will do the rest, therefore you can go ahead and upload your site content without the need to do anything else manually. If you would like disable the feature, you should follow the very same steps.
