Do
you support Microsoft FrontPage 98®?
Certainly, though
you will be missing out on the any new or enhancements to existing features
released in FrontPage 2000®. While the server extensions
we install on your account are meant for FrontPage 2000®,
they are also compatible with FrontPage 98® or any other
previous version of FrontPage®.

What
software do I need to use FrontPage 2000®for
my website?
In order to author your website with FrontPage,
you will need to install FrontPage 98®, FrontPage
2000®, or FrontPage Express® on
your computer. FrontPage Express comes bundled with some versions
of Microsoft Internet Explorer. While any of these programs will
work, to use all of the features available, you need to use FrontPage
2000® for your client software.

Why
does FrontPage®
just hang when establishing a connection to my account?
There a number of
reasons why FrontPage® hangs, the biggest reason is related
to the amount of data in your public_html directory, both in size and
number of files and directories. The more files/directories and size of
data, the longer it will take FrontPage® to log in. Large
amounts of data (> 50MB) and/or a large number of files or directories
( > 500) can cause FrontPage® to hang and perhaps
even timeout. If there are connectivity problems between your ISP and
BuildersPlanet.com, then this can also lead to FrontPage® hanging
or even timing out.

Can
I use FTP and Front Page®?
Do not use FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
to publish your site. FrontPage® expects that webs will be published
through the FrontPage® Explorer. If you use FTP, components of your
web (web bots in particular) may not function properly, and you
will have to reinstall your FrontPage® extensions (see below).

What are those _ (underscore)
files in my folder?
If you are using FrontPage, those _folders
are very important. They hold all the information your website needs
to run FrontPage. Do NOT delete them!
