Frontpage Web Hosting Review
FrontPage Web Hosting Review
In this arena, I will review Frontpage web hosting and how it relates to other types of web hosting. This will not be a discussion on the features of Microsoft Frongpage, but, yet, how it interdfaces with your chosen web hosting platform. Microsoft Frontpage is one of the premiere web design editors available, but it comes with a price.
Several web hosting providers will give you a Frontpage option. This simply means their web hosting can handle a Frontpage built website. Some websites don’t need this and you should NOT install the Frontpage extensions if you don’t. They can cause serious issues if they exist on your webserver are not needed. Beyond that, they can cause your enire website to fail to display a single page. Proceed with cause. Don’t install a feature on your web hosting package, unless you need it. In this case, More is defintely Not better!
If you’re seeking to become a webmaster as a career, Frontpage may be the place for you to start. This is where I, and many others, first learned how to design a website. Frontpage holds to many of the standards as the other Microsoft Office products and can import and export other Office and Windows utilities well. But, as I mentioned, this comes with a price and it’s not only measured in dollars. Frontpage is what we call “heavy”. There is a lot of overhead and resources consumed by your computer when designing using Frontpage. There are several “open source” web design editors available, but you should be ready for a time consideration in the learning curve. Once you have mastered Frontpage, I would think this learning curve time would be greatly diminished.
When you seek Frontpage Web Hosting, you will secure your package through the web host provider and then usually use CPanel to install the Frontpage Extensions. These are the Microsoft snippets of code that enable the Frontpage specific functions to work correctly. If you learn to code in HTML or use a well-developed CMS such as Wordpress, these extensions are not needed, because the code is already there or handled by other means.
