Microsoft FrontPage can still run in some cases, but it is no longer supported and its server extensions no longer work. Because FrontPage has been discontinued for many years, it is strongly recommended to use a modern alternative.
Today, most website building has moved away from desktop editors and toward web-based builders and CMS platforms that are faster, more secure, and easier to maintain.
Recommended modern alternatives:
cPanel Website Builder (WYSIWYG)
Many hosting accounts include a built-in visual website builder inside cPanel. This is the closest modern equivalent to FrontPage because it allows drag-and-drop editing directly on your hosting account without installing software.
WordPress
WordPress is the most widely used website platform in the world. It is included free with our hosting plans and offers thousands of themes and plugins. When properly optimized and secured, WordPress is powerful, flexible, and scalable for almost any type of website.
SitePad Website Builder
SitePad is a modern visual website builder included with our hosting. It provides drag-and-drop design, responsive templates, and easy publishing without technical complexity. It is ideal for users who want simplicity without sacrificing design quality.
Other modern tools
Visual Studio Code: Best for professional code-based editing
Pinegrow: Advanced visual editor for modern websites
Dreamweaver: Still available, but less popular and subscription-based
Industry trend
Most businesses today use WordPress, SitePad, or integrated hosting builders instead of legacy desktop tools. These solutions offer better security, mobile responsiveness, and long-term compatibility.
If you would like, we can install WordPress or SitePad for you and help optimize your website for speed and security.
