I've used VirtualAve before.. They were pretty good. Other than that their banner ads *can* be annoying.. Unless you manually place them on your pages.. Then they wouldn't be popup.

thanks PCnerd but I think your link is wrong it took me to some house for sale site lol http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
and brandon thats kinda what I'm looking for but this is what they say ( Do you support FrontPage extension?
No. We do not support FrontPage98 server extension at this point. )
I need one that does so I can use all the junk in frontpage lol http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
thanks though for your post every little bit helps http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Hmm.. I've never used the VirtualAve service for Frontpage...

Thats weird though. It says "Frontpage Extensions Supported" on a few of their pages.

Brandon, have you tried http://www.xoom.com tpretty sure you can use front page there. They do have a banner though.

i think PCnerd meant Crosswinds.NET (http://www.crosswinds.net/). he must not have been thinking as he wrote the url or something, as he linked it to crosswinds.com.

hope i could further clarify.

there are some pretty good hosting sites out there, so just look for what options that YOU want and base it upon that.

I used Xoom for mine a while back and while they do not support FP uploading, you can FTP FP pages to them and they post fine.

nope none of them support FP extentions at all, though one gave a reasion, they said it was for security reasions that it was to easy for some one with the know to alter your page with the extentions running go figure http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Keep in mind I am no web genius. My goal was to create a site so I could access things no matter what computer I was at.

Hmmm... Apparently this is the reason (http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-1696137.html?tag=st.ne.1002.bgif.1003-200-1696137?st.ne.fd.gif.i) why most don't allow Front Page extentions...

[socalgal]

Very interesting, Algee, thanks for posting that.

[bhess]

[scotter]

and as all ways thanks you all for the replies to my post it's been very helpful
in finding a server to move my pages to, I'm not sure who I'm gona use yet but will let you all Know when I do http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Hi jman01pa thanks for the reply and I just might set up a new page with them but I dont think I'll move my domain name to them they want you to reregister with another company and pay more money for the transfer and name. Having to pay twice for the same domain name I dont think so it just would not be worth it.

But that bug isn't in the latest version of the extensions to which all providers should have pdated to a year ago.

Also, the hold isn't in the Win2k IIS.
