"A Web Host Provider For Entrepreneurs"

The Quick Setup

VERY IMPORTANT: If you use FrontPageto publish your website to our server, then DO NOT USE an FTP program to Add, Edit or Delete files to your "www" directory. This is where your FrontPage extensions are kept. This only applies to the "www" directory of your Home directory.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All filenames are case sensitive. This means that index.htm (the correct filename) is not the same file as INDEX.HTM. We suggest that you use all lower case file names. You must make sure that all of your links point to the correct filename.

We support Full FrontPage  extensions. For specific information on how to use the FrontPage software, please consult the program's documentation or Microsoft Technical Support.
