IIS under Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Pro only support a single root web, you can have unlimited
number of FP Subwebs/sites.

Re: Beginner questionsHi, Jens,
Thanks for the info on Answer 1. I suppose I could also create a new root directory under c:\inetpub
using the IIS Manager (old Internet Service Manager?) and build my site there, avoiding wwwroot
altogether.
I think the subsite idea is useful too for some situations. Like if I have a central Golf Players
site with subsites for LA, Orange county, Inland Empire, etc. I don't know of any other advantages
of using subsites, technical or otherwise.
I don't see in newgroup postings much discussion on using the IIS Manager in conjunction with
Frontpage. I understand this is more of the administrators' area, whereas Frontpage topics are for
the web-content creators.

1. Even if you create the Web as
http://localhost/subweb/ you can Publish it to
http://www.yourdomain.com/ once you are done with the Web and ready to go public.
2. Typing
http://whatever is the only way to open a server based Web.
http://localhost/ always points to the server on the local computer.
http://www.yourdomain.com/
will point to the Web that are hosted by a Hosting provider unless you are selfhosting and you
frankly don't strike me as someone who has enough knowledge to do that. It isn't that easy to do.
You can use a wizard to get you started but sooner or later (more sooner) you will have to start
modifying the generated pages and creating new ones.
