Frontpage support will end on Friday 1st August 2008

08/06/2008 00:00

Dear Customer,

Due to reasons beyond our control, we have decided to discontinue FrontPage extensions on all of our hosting servers. The reason for this is because Microsoft has discontinued FrontPage extension support. Frontpage is now posing a serious security threat to our servers due to many vulnerabilities & exploits.

We are aware of the fact that many of our customers rely on FrontPage to manage their site. However, security of our servers has to be our main priority and we will not be able to maintain security unless we take this action to stop these vulnerabilities. You can continue to create pages using frontpage but you will now need upload using ftp. However current pages that rely on fp extensions will cease to function correctly.

Sadly Frontpage support will end on Friday 1st August 2008. There are also alternative page creators that will allow you to design your pages and upload using ftp without the need for fp extensions. You may like to try : http://www.netobjects.com/html/essentials.html This is free to use or try the new microsoft expression web.

Regards,

Mike
