Does Exact IT web hosting support Microsoft FrontPage Extensions?

No, our hosting provider discontinued support for FrontPage Extensions in mid 2013.

What services are required to host a website?

A website consists of 3 components:

  1. Domain Name (eg. exactit.com.au)
  2. Web Hosting (disk space on an Internet server to house your website)
  3. Website Content (the website that your visitors see)

Before you put a website online, it is essential that you have a domain name and web hosting.

Exact IT can provide all 3 services, either individually, or as part of a managed package.

If you don’t require a website, and just want to use your domain for email – you need to setup our free “Domain Manager” that allows you to forward email from your domain to your choice of destination email addresses.
