FrontPage Extension Support Discontinued on Shared/Reseller Servers

In late 2006 Microsoft announced that FrontPage 2003 would be the last version of their web publishing software FrontPage to be released. Microsoft will no longer add updates or features to this software in the future thus FrontPage has reached its end of life (EOL).
To this date all cPanel servers on our network include FrontPage extension support. The FrontPage server extensions were also released by Microsoft and are no longer being updated. Because this software has not been updated since 2006 it has limited functionality and some incompatibilities with new software versions. One known incompatibility is with the web server we now use on all new shared servers on our network.

After October 2008 we have made the decision to discontinue FrontPage extension support for all hosting accounts.

If you used FrontPage server extensions here are a few other options you can work with instead:
1) Continue using FrontPage without the server extensions
Build your pages locally and use FrontPage built in FTP functionality or an external ftp client

2) Try other site publishing software:

Microsoft Expression Web http://www.microsoft.com/expression/
