Publishing your website with MS FrontPage

This tutorial contains a step by step lesson on how to install FrontPage extensions on your domain and 

how to successfully publish your website. 

Logging in to WebsiteOS

Log in to your domain account. 

Go to our login page. You ll be prompted for your domain and password. Enter your domain (in the form of 

"yourname.com") and your domain password. Click the "Continue" button to login. 

Installing the FrontPage Extensions

If you have not already installed the FrontPage extensions on your domain, you must install them before 

you can publish your website. 

From the WebsiteOS Control Panel, click on "FrontPage." The FrontPage function has a window that will 

allow you to install the FrontPage extensions. These server extensions allow your site to use FrontPage 

specific components like form submission and shared borders. 

Installing on domains without access control files

To install FrontPage extensions, select the "Turn FrontPage ON (install)" radio button. A warning message 

concerning FrontPage restrictions will be displayed.  

Since the FrontPage extensions are not compatible with some WebsiteOS features, installing the 

extensions will disable: 

Ad Manager, Business Card, File Manager, Plug in Scripts, Security Menu option and Database 

Manager. 

FTP access to your website (you will only be able to transfer webpages to your site using the 

FrontPage "publish" facility).  

After reading the warning message, click the "Next" button. You will be prompted to set up a FrontPage 

password. Enter a password in the supplied textbox, and click the "Next" button. If you have no access 

control file on your domain, the extensions will be installed, and the result of operation will be displayed. 

The results of the last operation are always displayed in the "Last Job results" text area at the bottom of 

the "FrontPage Manager" main page. FrontPage extensions can be removed using the "Turn OFF 

(uninstall)" option. 

If you perform an installation for a domain that has FrontPage extensions already installed, the FrontPage 

Manager will upgrade the existing extensions.
