FrontPage Web Hosting
has arisen from the success and popularity of Microsoft FrontPage.
First of all, what is
FrontPage? Simply put, it's a software program that helps the user to
create dynamic, interactive web pages without the need to posses any
knowledge of HTML or other web programming scripts. This user-friendly
point-and-click model, based around a straightforward
"What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) display, is familiar to most
users of other products in the Microsoft office suite.
Given FrontPage's popularity,
many market-savvy web hosts now offer FrontPage hosting
to clients as a comprehensive package. Some companies are even
choosing to specialize in FrontPage Hosting.
For the slightly more
advanced user, FrontPage allows you to compose your site in HTML
and/or view and edit the HTML code generated automatically concurrent
with the point-and-click method. For the slightly less advanced, or
the more time-crunched, FrontPage also provides various templates of
web pages of all different styles and sizes, for all different needs,
from pleasure to business and back again.
The primary benefit to using
a FrontPage hosting service for your site rather than
any other generic web host is that a FrontPage web hosting provider
has FrontPage extensions enabled, which allow you, the user, to bypass
the cumbersome, intermediary step of using a third party FTP client to
publish your site.
This feature alone makes it
well worth considering FrontPage and a FrontPage hosting
provider for all your web-presence needs, as you continue to
reap the benefits every time you update your site (which will be
often, believe me) and every time save yourself 5 or 10 minutes of
unnecessary labor.
FrontPage server extensions,
as Microsoft puts it in its MSDN library, are programs to support,
administer, author, and browse FrontPage websites.
The second benefit to
choosing a FrontPage hosting provider for your
FrontPage website(s) is that there are numerous juicy FrontPage
features that are only accessible via a server with FrontPage
extensions enabled.
