Publishing Local Sites with Microsoft FrontPage
Microsoft FrontPage supports two types of websites:
- Disk-based (local) sites: created on your local computer and published later to a web server
- Server-based sites: created directly on the server, with no need for separate publishing
This guide specifically covers the process for publishing local sites.
Available publishing methods
You can publish a local site using one of the following methods:
- FTP: if the server supports FTP protocol
- HTTP: if the server runs FrontPage Server Extensions
Examples of publishing URLs
After publishing, site management can be performed through the FrontPage Server Extensions.
Accessing the FrontPage Server Extensions management interface
- Log in to your Plesk panel.
- Click the domain name you want to manage.
- Select FrontPage Management from the Hosting section.
Depending on your domain’s configuration, you may see one of the following options:
- FrontPage WebAdmin: for managing a non-SSL site
- FrontPage-SSL WebAdmin: for managing an SSL-protected site
Enter your FrontPage administrator credentials and click OK.
For more information on using FrontPage Server Extensions, consult the in-panel help (FP Webadmin > Help) or visit the official Microsoft website.
