Hosting of Front Page Web Site

[Guest]

Could you recommend a good hosting company that is able to handle Front Page web sites? I am currently with a hosting company that says it provides front page server extension, yet I have had a lot of trouble with forms. The support is not able to walk me through why I am having the problems.

Few, if any, hosts are going to provide you with tutoring
on the use of FrontPage. They will fix their server if its
not operrating correctly, and that's about it.

However, if you want to look for a new host, here are some
places to start:

I had a similar problem recently with Yahoo web hosting, who claimed they supported FP server extensions in their advertising but I only found out after the fact that they don't support all of the FP components

I am currently using a company called IPowerWeb (http://ipowerweb.com). They are very affordable, and they support all of the FP components that I use (I have no reason to believe that they don't support all of them), plus they have some very good marketing tools, automatic site submission to top search engines, search engine placement checker, eCommerce, reports/site statistics, customer support and a bunch of other things that I just can't remember off the top of my head right now. (Honestly I am only a customer, I don't work for them!

Hope this helps

Affordablehost.com has been good for me. They have an

online chat for support that has been invaluable for
instant answers. I have had no trouble with using
frontpage with them.
