What are FrontPage Extensions and Do I Need Them?
FrontPage Extensions are CGI programs which provide the server side implementation needed for all versions of Microsoft FrontPage. FrontPage extensions are required in order to properly upload and use many of the tools and WebBots that FrontPage offers. If you are designing your web site using Microsoft FrontPage, you will need to have FrontPage extensions installed in order for you to be able to use the full functionality of the features. But not all hosts offer FrontPage extensions, so if you plan on using FrontPage, it is important to check that your chosen host offers the extensions. Some web hosts will offer it for free when you sign up, while others require a nominal monthly or yearly fee to install and update them.
