When you first startup frontpage you will have a window open similiar to the
one shown below.
- Make sure the website you wish to publish is open, for this guide we will be using a very simple page which simply
says the word
"example".
- Your homepage needs to be named "index.htm" or "index.html" to properly display as the home page. The name MUST
be in all lower case letters as the server is setup to look specifically for this case sensitive filename.

Step 1: To begin publishing go to File >
and choose
"Publish Site..." as shown.

Step 2: Ensure you have the first option selected,
"FrontPage Server Extensions or SharePoint Services".
In the "Web Site Location" field, enter your domain name. Our domain name being used is examplewebsite.net
Note: DO NOT check the box for "Encrypted connection required (SSL)"

Step 3: Click Next > to bring up the login window.
Enter your cPanel username and password listed in your
welcome email and then click "OK"

Step 4: After connecting you will be brought back to
Frontpage with a split pane window showing your local website files on the left and the remote files on our server on the right. Click on the
"Web
Site" Tab. From here click the button labeled "Publish Web Site" located in the lower right hand corner, making sure the option
"Local to Remote" is selected.

Step 5: Once the process finishes, your site is
published. You will see all of your files in both the left and the right panes as shown below.

That's it! In our example, we published our index.htm page. Now when we visit our site in a browser, the
index.htm page will autmatically load and we will be served the contents of our page. You can repeat this process to publish any
changes you make to your site at anytime.
