Microsoft's FrontPage program is a graphical web page creation program. It enables users to create entire web sites without having to learn an HTML code, and it uses the familiar Microsoft Office user interface. This makes web design with FrontPage easy for almost everyone. For details on the program itself, visit Microsoft's site.

FrontPage facilitates publishing and managing a site, one of the more challenging concepts for those who are new to web sites and web pages. It will even allow the creation of multiple users and give you the ability to assign access privileges for those users. For this to work correctly, however, FrontPage needs a special set of tools on the web server called "FrontPage Extensions." These extensions are CGI scripts that FrontPage uses for document publishing, site maintenance, form processing, counters, and other related web tools. Unless you have root access to your server, it is usually not possible to configure these tools on your own. Even with root access, configuration can be challenging, especially if you want to maintain a level of security and stability.

At Spry, web hosting with FrontPage is both simple and effective. We provide our users with FrontPage extensions on all our web hosting plans. Setup is as easy as clicking the command in the WebAdmin control panel. There are also similar commands for re-installing and removing the extensions.
