ResellerClub / OrderBox remove Frontpage extension.

ResellerClub or OrderBox, one of the largest domain name, web hosting reseller has announced that they will discontinue support for FrontPage Extensions 2002 w.e.f 1st Oct 2007 and thus Frontpage Server Extensions will no longer be supported.

Existing customer can either upload using FTP or move to another host that still support Frontpage . My advise to users is to upload using FTP client, it is faster and convinient to use.

CPanel hosts are still support Frontpage extension, however I am not sure how long they will keep support this.

Note: Latest securities fix for FrontPage Extensions for Unix/Linux does not support Apache 2. Microsoft has end-of-lifed this product and will be removing them from their site.
