looking for a Front Page-friendly web host

| glassartist 2006-03-03, 6:18 pm |
| Hi, I have a 45-page website where I sell about 650 unique items,
heartofstonestudio.com. I use Front Page 2003 to do frequent uploads of
photos, text, and almost daily changes to my site. I use emartcart and PayPal
to handle money transactions. My current web host is Globat.com, and they
only have FP2002 server extensions, so my site is frequently corrupted and
does not operate the way it should. Their tech services are terrible, so I
want to change hosts. Could you please suggest some potential web hosting
services that will better meet my needs as a Front Page 2003 user?

| The latest FrontPage extensions are 2002.
How do you upload to your site? FTP will corrupt the extensions.
I do not know globat.com, so I do not know if
http://www.webhost4life.com would be better or worse than Globat.com.

| I'm pretty sure I don't use FTP--I made sure not to when I first published my
site. Now I just hit "Publish Site" and Front Page does the rest. The tech at
Globat said they were holding out on updating their FP extensions to 2003
because those extensions "are unstable" and they didn't want to use them. The
last straw occurred last week when I noticed my link bar titles were missing.
I called Globat repeatedly and when they finally reinstalled their FP
extensions, their action removed my Front Page theme from the site, so link
bars, background color, and typeface colors were all gone. They eventually
deleted the entire site and it took 4.5 hours for me to republish it!! So
thanks for recommending webhost4life.com. I will look into it.
****If you have any advice as to what to look for in a new web host, I'd
appreciate it. best regards,

That's a good reason for getting another host. FP2003 extensions do
not exist, and never will exist - no wonder they are unstable.
