I got a free ASP.NET from ASPHostPortal and I tried to start a new database web site for http... in C#.

I got an error, unable to create a web site ...the web server does not have FrontPage extensions installed.

Does anyone know how to fix this, thanks...

The error is fairly self-explanatory, your host does not have FrontPage extensions installed which is the software Visual Studio uses to communicate to remote web servers. Not many hosts have this installed, you normally need to develop your site on your local machine and then upload it via FTP. Your hosts help section should have information on how you upload files to your web space. Publish your site to a folder on your local machine using a file publish and then upload the contents of that folder to your host.

Please just use FTP tools to upload your files. Frontpage only can be enabled on Windows Server 2003. If you use Windows Server 2008 above, then you cant use Frontpage again. I also use asphostportal to host my asp.net site. I upload using FTP to root folder
