I have a client which I am going to move from another hosting company to mine. The problem is that the user is on a server that does not have FTP access and only Frontpage access. The problem is that i currently do not have Frontpage on my PC. Any tips for moving the site and its files without it? Is there any way to simulate a FP connection?
View 10 RepliesWhat is the best way to move Frontpage accounts from one server (non-cp) to another (Cpanel or Plesk)?
I understand that using FTP may corrupt the FP server extensions; is rsync an option, or should the client always upload files to the new server from their FP software?
Is there any way to connect to a new server account (using FP) via the IP; before pointing the domain to the new server?

I am trying to get a dedicated server from unmeteredservers.com. My website was designed with FrontPage in htm mode. The technical team is asking whether I require FrontPage Extensions, and that if I do, then I cannot use their services because FrontPage extentions has been discontinued. My site has been working very well on many shared servers, I told them. They say I shoulsd find out from my frontpage whether it uses the extensions. I have no idea where I can get that information from in my Frontpage program. How do I get that kind of information?
Meanwhile, I do know that when I used FrontPage to upload my site, the Panels peovided an option to intall the extensions. But now that I upload with CuteFTP, no server has since requested for the extensions to be installed. Will my site work on the server if I simply upload via an FTP without any FrontPage extensions installed?
I have installed Front page extension but when i access the page its gives the error :-
FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.
This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.
Since a recent server and control panel move (we switched from Enism X to CPanel 11 on CentOS 5), our accounts no longer work with any version of FrontPage prior to 2003. You can't even bring up the authentication window in FrontPage 2000, it spits out an error saying that there's a problem with WWW-Authenticate (or similar, don't have exact error as I dont own a copy of FP2000, but that's what a few clients are reporting).
Has anyone had any similar experiences and would you have any advice to give so that I may somehow fix this problem? I know FP has been EOL for some time now but it doesn't change that many of my customers still use it and expect their services to keep working on the new platform.
i have a customer who had a site in somwhere else.he used to upload his files via frontpage with the frontpage extensios way.in my server i have install frontpage extensios.the problem is that when he tries topublish the files whichs edits the changes in NOT going to the files which are in public_html folder but it is automated creating a new folder with the name domain.gr. AND THERE PUTS ALL THE FILES WHICH are changing.
what i must change so the changes to be in files in public_html and also stop creating folder with the name domain.gr.i hope you understand the frontpage extensios.i havent experienced before

I already cleaned, installed FP extensions.
I am preparing a server to do some hosting, but need the newest frontpage extensions. I noticed in Centos 4.5 running Cpanel it has this. Does anyone have access to the files needed to accomplish this as well as any config info?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI like the features and usability of BlueHost.com, however they don't seem to support ASP.
Can anyone recommend a site that has the features (and reliability) of BlueHost.com that also has ASP?
I use FrontPage for creation, updates and FTP, and I also use EarlyImpact's ProductCart shopping cart system (written in ASP). Our company's website is approximately 75-80Mb in size and I don't have the stats on what our bandwidth usage is.
To properly use & work with ProductCart, I need to have server access where I can upload and run installs and various other applications as if it were on my own local machine. From what I saw from using BlueHost's demo with cPanel, it seems to fit the bill of what our company needs except for the ASP thing.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was always told by their customer service that FE was supported. Always means before I placed an order, before I transferred the host and after the DNS propogation.
But FE didn't work for me! After more than 20 emails exchanged under the same tickent #, PrecisionEffect said 'look into this a bit more' then kept silent for more than 4 hours, not as normal as their outstanding response time in minutes.
My client was getting panic. She was losing the business because the web site coulnd't work properly without FE enabled.
I had to return to our old host.
I want to get FrontPage Extensions on debian/Plesk 8.6 to work and was hoping to get some feedback and tips on possibility and reliability.

i have mod front page in apache and Install FrontPage Extensions to all site in server but i can't browser directory with front page how i can fix that?
We are having some trouble getting Frontpage to work for a client of us, on a Windows Server 2003 VPS with Plesk. As we have tried reinstalling FP extensions, and can't quite determine if this is a server related or Frontpage (software) related issue, I thought I'd try asking here..
The user is not able to log in using Frontpage. When trying to access www.site.com he gets an error message that "The folder www.site.com is not available. It may be at an unavailable location, password protected or the filename could contain / or ".
The error message occurs just after typing the URL into the URL box... he doesn't even get prompted for username or password.
Does anyone know how to install the Frontpage Server Extensions on an Apache server which is running on a Windows box? I've searched around including on Microsoft's site, but I was only able to find info on how to configure for Apache running on unix/linux.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a consulting customer using 172.16.253/24 as public addresses for their servers.
I was under the impression 172./8 was IANA reserved space not for public use.
Assuming I am not, what is wrong with this scenario, besides the fact that they _should_ not use that IP space as public ips for their servers?
My question is targeted towards providers who sell unmetered bandwidth servers. Like out of 100 customers who have unmetered 10Mbps how many would actually consume full 10meg , lets keep it to peak time for now.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been using shared hosting for some years now but lately found my sites were getting more and more sluggish, so I started looking around for a new host. Problem is, who do you choose? And what kind of service? I wanted something better than shared hosting but didn't fancy the complexities of VPS.
After some research I signed up for MDDhosting.com's basic Semi-Dedicated plan for one month to test them out. If it didn't work out I'd only be out twenty bucks
The set-up was fast - I was transferring my test sites within minutes of receiving their (five) instant welcome emails. When I had problems with the transfer, MDD's support team were very responsive (like, in minutes!) and when it got a bit tangled, Michael himself helped to sort it out.
After the initial issues (all my fault for setting things up wrong) the transfer of the rest of my sites was quick and painless. I'm now signed up MDDhosting's Intermediate Semi-Dedicated service.
I'm relieved, with semi-dedicated hosting, that they won't bog down over time with added subscribers. I'm impressed with MDDhosting.com's quality of service and I'm VERY happy at how fast my sites load now.
I give MDDhosting.com a ten out of ten!
Usual disclaimer: I'm not connected to MDDhosting.com in any way, other than being a happy customer. I don't normally post on forums but I was impressed by this company's service and I'm sure there are other small webmasters out there with the same kind of hosting problems I had.
I used to rent several servers from Intercage.
I have the legitimate service and have never been involved in anything bad.
But now, the Intercage is dead and my servers are dead also.
Is there anyone in e200paul who could provide me with the connection to my old servers so I could get my information? It's my last chance, I can't wait any longer and I really need this information.
Suppliers offer anything from Xen to Virtuozzo, OpenVZ, VMWare ESX. As a customer does it make any difference to you? Which do you prefer, or don't you care? Do you search out a VPS provider taking into account the virtualization technology that they offer?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am just dropping in my week one positive review of geekstorage.com. I migrated my two domains to them earlier this week from vistapages.com, after having been with vistapages.com for two years.
I had to endure too many growing pains with vistapages, and I am on a tight budget, so was looking for something similar to what vistapages offered at a similar low price.
Vistapages upgraded the server I was on in recent months and things had been a lot more stable, so I was about to give up my search and renew for two years with them until I clicked on the geekstorage.com link in one of Jays posts here.
Immediately I was intrigued by their name and site design, and then even more so when I saw their offerings. I really like how they don't have a typical commercial looking site and feel. After looking at maybe a hundred or more hosting services on the web that all look the same, it was honestly a refreshing experience. I know that's not a technical point really, but I guess the geek look and talk just appealed to my geek nature.
I've learned by spending time here at WHT, and from two years with vistapages to be skeptical and that whatever host I end up with that I need to be prepared to get what (in my case very little) I pay for, so I try not to have high expectations and just hope that I get pleasantly surprised by good enough service that I can endure, or maybe better. I have definitely been pleasantly surprised so far by geekstorage.com.
They handled all my pre-sales questions well, and thanks to their current 25% off coupon code available here at WHT, I got their developer plan for $4.50 per month, which fits in perfectly for me, where my sites are low traffic (currently under 2 gigs transfer for the month), but I have plenty of room for growth with them if I need it, and in pretty much whatever way I may need or want to grow.
I gave Geekstorage my login info for vistapages, and they migrated my domains for me the same day I signed up (3 gigs of data, a menalto gallery/database, a couple wordpress databases, etc...), they just plugged it all straight in and I was up and running that evening. I sure enjoyed not having to lift a finger! (thanks again to Geekstorage for that)
I made a mistake and changed my nameserver addresses when I didn't really need to (I had been using zoneedit.com and could have just left it that way), and that change caused me a day of down time on one of my addon domains, which always sucks, but that was obviously my fault, and they were completely responsive and polite to my unnecessary questions that I kept emailing to them...
The one minor issue after the move was because of the lack of Litespeed support for shtml, but they went to work on that right away when I reported it to them, and for me it was just for a little toy script I have anyway, and I had some php code as a workaround for it (for random text display), so no biggy there, but more importantly what I learned from the issue was that as far as customer service goes, these guys are on top of it, and have kept me posted with regular emails on the status...
I've noticed that the server speed is great with them for my sites and better than what I had. With vistapages it used to be a real drag going to make wordpress posts and stuff because the control panel was so sluggish, and there was always high cpu use at all times. This is not the case where I am now, at least not for now... I know there isn't nearly as much traffic or sites on the shared server I am on now as there was with vistapages.com, and I am going to enjoy that as long as it lasts!
Anyhow, I am very happy with my choice so far, and completely recommend if you are looking for a low budget shared host to go with these guys.
What webhosting/domain/server company has the best customer area - ie. the best control panel, billing interface, integration with 3rd party scripts and control panels etc etc.
I think Mediatemple has done a good job, mosso's is excellent and I like what softlayer has done with their server management interface...
Anyone else?
my friend told me all i have todo is type user.domain.com to give my customers a subdomain. Its not working somehow, the subdomain is not reachable. How do i give an account an subdomain?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIve had many problems with hosting companies in the past, and each time i gain advice from other designers, i talk about it on forums (inc sitepoint), and i like to say i learn from my mistakes.
However, i obviously cant be learning from my mistake as i continue to have problems.
Now, this time i chose a experienced host. You could say they sold me a package and everything was good. No complaints.. well that was until today.
I come back from working away to find my website is down (www.avillafan.com)
I also find my host's site is down, and i also got no reply from a email. So i took it one step further and decided to phone them to find out whats going on.
And i get this reply ' Yes, we are sorry man - ill get it back up very soon'
Now what does this mean? very soon is a few mins. Its now been a few hours.
Now ive lost money in the past, as i like to go for yearly deals and each time i get caught out. And once again, im wondering am i entitled to get my money back? Now every other business the customer should come first and is aways right.
So how come this doesnt seem the case in the web hosting/designing business?
