Note: Microsoft FrontPage extensions are no longer available on new accounts, because they are no longer supported by Microsoft.

There are some limitations / issues which potential FrontPage users should consider:

1. Web site size – This seems to be most critical when a "searchable event" is present in the Web (Search, Discussion Forum and Table of Contents). The lengthy process of updating the indices for these functions can lead to the connection timing-out (HTTP 500 Error or "Server has timed-out").

2. Disk Usage – You may create and publish as many child Web sites as your disk storage space allows. However, for each child Web you publish, FrontPage duplicates certain information into indices and hidden files. This adds "overhead", increasing the storage space required for your files. Microsoft's documentation notes, "FrontPage 97's optional full-text search indexes can take up to the same amount of disk space as your textual content."

3. FrontPage Extensions – There are several precautions which need to be taken to protect the FrontPage extensions on your Web site:

a) Do NOT use the password protection (for Web pages) feature that is found in your Network Solutions Hosting Control Panel. If you wish to password protect pages, you should only do this using the FrontPage password protection feature available through FrontPage.

b) Do not use an FTP software (such as WS_FTP) to upload files to the server when FrontPage extensions are installed. This may corrupt the extensions, disabling the interactive features available with FrontPage.
