MS Front page to EWD

[Guest]

I received a e-mail from my web site host that said they was doing away with
the FP server extentions that is required for my web site. If i go tyo this
new EWS does it require any server extentions to run that i should check and
see if they have. Also how easy it the new program to use is it like FP or do
you have to hard code every thing.

It doesn't require server extensions and you get try it out with the free
beta at

Note, you can still use FrontPage as long as you don't use anything that
requires the server extensions. Just FTP your site to your host.

And it is "EW", not EWD or EWS.

I would push back at them. There is no reason they have to stop
providing the existing extensions -- they wont just suddenly stop
working.

If your site uses the extensions, and especially if you have
bot-generated code that uses them and dont want or cant convert your
site, you may want to switch to a host that will keep the extensions
running.
