I am told that when I upload the index page I can ensure that when if anytime
I need to change my wesite isp etc. I can do so without having to change each
page hyperlink separately. Please advise using Front Page.

Hyperlinks within your website, have nothing to do with your "domain"

How your website is found when a visitor clicks www.yoursite.com goes like this.

When a visitor clicks www.yoursite.com your browser queries what is known as a Domain Name Server.
The domain name server converts www.yoursite.com into a numerical IP address that looks like this:
http://123.456.789.123 which is really where your website "lives."

If you switch hosting companies, your new host ( or you ) enters your new domain location into the
domain name server system. 24 to 48 hours later it has propagated throughout the entire DNS system
so that anyone who clicks www.yoursite.com is automatically directed to your new IP address.

To see how this works, open a command window and type in: ping www.yahoo.com and then press enter
and see what your computer displays.
