Shlomoh, here's what a hosting provider said when I asked if they supported Front Page,
"we do not, and will not support frontpage, since it is a _huge_ security risk to a server, and more trouble than it's worth to boot. however, front page can ftp upload, so it can work with our servers anyway." If you think about it NT just hasnt got any of the security as Unix, if your going to go with Front Page password, at least password protect(not by FP but .htaccess)all the directorys Front Page uses, most improtanly the _vti_pvt folder, Unix's encripted passwords are so hard to decode that most hosting providers will simply issue a new username/password if you ever loose your's not to put down NT or nothing, but I would rather have the protection of a old reliable Unix,
Thanks
Joey
