I am going to make a webpage for google adsense. Please help.
admin answers:
You don’t need a Windows server. UNIX is fine.
You might need a host that supports Frontpage Extensions if you plan to use some features of Frontpage, but most people can get by without those features, and last time I checked they were available for UNIX and Windows systems.
Personally I would avoid Frontpage though. The quality of its output is generally rather low. Dreamweaver is better, but nothing is a good substitute for learning HTML and CSS.

How upload files from frontpage or web expression and FTP?
I’m having problems changing from frontpage to expression and filezilla. My server quit with the frontpage extensions and so I’ve got to find another way to update our website and I’m feeling like I need to take a college course in web design to figure it out!
I’ve used Frontpage for the last 6 years and I never fully understood it either, so that is part of my problem. Let me explain…our website has a .com and .net version. Through the .net, (I have no idea how this happened) but all I had to do was make whatever changes to the pages that I wanted, for instance, changing our hours of business on the about us page and then save. I didn’t even have to click on publish. I have no idea why, but by saving, it changed the pages online. Now…with our .com site, I did have to actually click publish, but it was set so that it changed my changes, but I didn’t have to select which files to upload or anything like that. I’m sure all of this wasn’t very secure, but WOW it was easy!!
So now I’ve downloaded filezilla and I’ve purchased Web Expressions and can’t figure out either. With Filezilla, I’m logged in and it says files transferred, and directory updated, but when I go to the http: version of the website there are no changes. Now, if I enter the ftp:// address and log in, I see changes.
With Web Expressions, it tells me that there are errors with my destination address, which I’ve asked my server about. So I either need a ftp for dummies explanation or I don’t know! I am so clueless about what I’m doing that I don’t even know the correct questions to ask. This is about to stress me to my limit. The only reason I even started doing the website myself is b/c our web host/designer would take months to get the updates on the site and then they weren’t “updates”!
admin answers:
Use Adobe Dreamweaver’s own FTP file upload/download/manage system. You will not need any of the other stuff!

How can I use my GoDaddy account with FileZilla & Microsoft Frontpage 2003 or Microsoft Expression Web?
I’ve done this before with a different web host, but I don’t remember how I did it. I know for FileZilla I need a username, password, and host name. I know my username and password, but not the host name. www.godaddy.com? Where would I get this information? Any help would be appreciated.
admin answers:
The host name for a godaddy account is your website domain name.
I wouldn’t use Front Page (for anything). Use a text editor ot, if you must use a WYSIWYG editor, use something like Kompozer. Microsoft products assume that all web code runs on Microsoft servers (which is far from true) – and most web servers choke on the garbage they put out. Even if the server handles it, many web browsers choke on it.
