Frontpage Hosting
FrontPage Hosting represents a niche market in the form of support for a Web authoring software product. Microsoft FrontPage is a popular Web site management and creation tool that utilizes a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for ease of use. One of the keys to FrontPage's success is its designing environment. FrontPage utilizes the What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) design technique. In other words, the elements you place on the page are edited in the same manner they will be seen. This aids the designer in visualizing the page before and during the design process. FrontPage also splits up the Web design. You can either create Web pages using the many tools and macros that come with FrontPage on the Normal layer or you can edit the HTML directly on the HTML layer or a combination of both.
Microsoft FrontPage also has more advanced features that use objects called FrontPage Server Extensions or simply FrontPage Extensions.
FrontPage extensions are server-side applications that enable to incorporate FrontPages' advanced features. Essentially these components are programs that run off the server and allow the activation, processing, and enabling of special features located within FrontPage. For FrontPage 2002 these advanced features include: Simultaneous collaboration with other users on the same site, Save Microsoft Office program files directly to the server, Include FrontPage Components (to include form handler, discussion, full-text search, and hit counter components) on your site, and Create a Web page directly on your Web server.
FrontPage Extensions can be used with the various Microsoft Operating Systems as well as Unix based operating systems and are compatible with Microsoft's Internet Information Server and Apache. more.....
