I'm going to be moving soon and will loose my cable isp. I'm using frontpage98. I've had this website for years and don't want to loose it. I opened a virtualave.net account which supports FP extentions. Can I move the whole site there? Or can I somehow save the whole site on my harddrive until I get another isp?

Yes you can http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
1 way is to log into your website and then "publish it" by choosing the new location.
2nd way is to FTP everything down to your HD and then FTP it into place at the new location.
Of course when you FTP it down you can just save it http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

I have a couple of web sites, and have changed web servers several times.
The main difference with mine is, I create my web pages on my hard drive and ftp them out to the site. In your case, you may need to get a ftp application, connect to your site, create a folder just for this on your hard drive, and download your files to your folder on your drive. Then later, when you have moved, and have a new server to host your site, ftp all that you have in that folder back to the new site.
