FrontPage Extension Support Discontinued

We regret to inform all shared hosting customers that UKHost4u are withdrawing support for FrontPage Extensions on all new servers, 7 years after Microsoft themselves discontinued all development and support for FrontPage.

We have tried to support this technology for our customers’ benefit as long as possible with varying success. We are now finding that supporting FrontPage Extensions is hindering the use of new security and performance improvements that would benefit all customers.

It is inevitable that support will eventually be withdrawn completely. But at present, FrontPage extensions will not be disabled on any server that currently has it enabled. This will remain the case for the foreseeable future.
