Need opinions on Sub Webs

[Elmo Watson]

I finally had enough bad service from two different hosting companies (my
wife's site, and the Church's site I'm helping with)

I got hosting where I get all my other personal and professional sites -
SO - -

2 sites are FrontPage - my hosting company allows unlimited sub-webs and
unlimited domain pointers - what I'm planning, is putting 4 websites on the
same hosting plan - it's easy for 2 of them, since they're not FP sites - so
I can just create new folders, and have a domain pointer placed there for
them.

However, I need opinions on how I should set up the two FP sites -
Ideally, I'd like all the sites to have their own folders in the main
directory. I don't normally work with FP, since most of my work is
ASP.Net/SQL Server, etc - -

Let's say my first site is my wife's site - in its own folder - are subwebs
their own entities?
Do the FP extensions work separately for multiple folders off the root?

How do you guys do this? Any ideas or direction on what would be your
opinion of the best way to set this thing up would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Elmo,

Yes, subwebs are separate entities. They do reside in folders under the root
web, and FrontPage handles each as its own separate web site. The only real
difference is that they do not have their own IP addresses or domain names.

Can I have (in a hosted situation) two separate subdirectories, each with
their own FrontPage extensions?

Sure can Elmo.

Sub Web question

I have a very similar issue / question.

I don't really understand how sub-webs work, but at present I have several domains and hosting packages and it seems to me I am paying too much and wondered about using one main hosting package with my other web sites using sub webs.

For instance can a domain name be redirected to a sub web?
Will it look like it is a site all of it's own?
Bear in mind I am talking about very simple sites, maybe 3 pages or so.

I do have / like FrontPage but if I need to use another web designer to save cost or make things easy then fine.

thanks in advance
