Microsoft® FrontPage® 98

Microsoft® FrontPage® makes it easy to produce professional quality web sites. With powerful tools such as built in image mapping, spell checking, WebBot components, and a familiar interface (like other Microsoft Office applications), you can get great results fast.

ALTS, LLC supports FrontPage® 98 extensions in their entirety and completely free of charge. The FrontPage product, while not the only means by which you can create and publish web content, is an excellent tool for our Resellers who are interested in quickly creating and easily maintaining web sites on the Virtual Server System.

NOTE: The Free BSD O/S installed on all virtual servers ordered after December 1, 1999 and being backfit on all other virtual servers supports Microsoft® FrontPage® 2000 Server Extensions and not FrontPage® 98. To see which O/S you are running type the uname command: 
% uname
