Do I need the personal web server to use Frontpage 2000 with XP Home?

[ssanders]

I am about to upgrade from Windows ME to XP Home edition.
The manual says that Personal Web Servers are not
supported. I currently have a personal web server running,
though I am unsure if I ever use it. I do regularly update
my web pages which are hosted on yahoo...and I
update/publish them using Frontpage 2000. Have I purchased
the wrong verison of XP? Should I have gotten XP
Professional instead? What is I have a different company
host my domain...Will there be a problem? Please help.

The ONLY reason to have a personal web server (or IIS as the version with XP
Pro is called) is for your to host your own website or to upload files to it
for testing purposes before you upload them to your web server with Yahoo.

FrontPage does NOT require you to have a PWS or IIS on your own PC, only
that you have access to a web server to publish your files to (which you do,
on Yahoo).
