Uploading your Website Content with FrontPage
Microsoft FrontPage is a simple web development tool that allows you to quickly design and publish a website, and is a great starting point for beginners.
FrontPage is different from many other publishing clients in the fact that it requires a server-side component to be enabled to allow you to publish your site. You will need to install this server-side component on your account before you can begin using FrontPage:
Activating the FrontPage Server Extensions
Login to your Cpanel, click FrontPage Extensions and then the “Install Extensions” option.
This will install the FrontPage Server Extensions and you can now publish using the directions below, which are organized by FrontPage version.
