Publishing your FrontPage website via HTTP

FrontPage is a Microsoft product that is used to build websites. After you have built your website with FrontPage, you will need to publish your site to your account with InMotion Hosting. If you already have installed FrontPage extensions via cPanel, you’ll need to publish your website via HTTP.

6. Click “OK“
7. Enter your cPanel username for “Username” and your cPanel password for “Password“
