Yes!  There is a section on your Control Panel to setup and administer FrontPage Extensions.

As long as you make sure that the files get uploaded into your public_html directory and not into your root directory.

In otherwords, make sure the files are uploaded into this directory:

http://www.YourSiteName.com/public_html

When someone visits your site, they will type in http://www.YourSiteName.com when in actual fact, what they will see is http://YourSiteName.com/public_html/index.html

Make sense?

i think so....for example i would type in at the bottom of frontpage:

http://www.mysite.com/moreofmysite/public_html

it will be uploaded to and the viewer will see this as:

http://www.mysite.com/moreofmysite

correct?

Not entirely.

Everything to be displayed on the web has to be put in the public_html directory so think of that directory as your ROOT directory and not the actual root.

Example.

Let's say I come to look at a web page on your site and this is the address I had to type in:

http://www.YourSite.com/english/membership/pricing.html  

The actual location of pricing.html is

/PUBLIC_HTML/english/membership/pricing.html

Since Front Page doesn't distinguish the public_html directory, you have to tell it to. So if you tell FrontPage to upload your site, you have to tell it to upload to www.YourSite.com/public_html and everything should be okay.

You can do that too or you can download a program called WS_FTP (available from Tucows.com) and it will accomplish the same thing.  Just make sure all your files and your directory structure goes into the public_html file and you'll be fine.  How you get them there is entirely up to you.

No problem about the help!  That's what I'm here for (if I can!)

Not really except for bandwith!  Remember, you only get 20 or 60 gigabytes of bandwith per month (depending on what plan you're on).  Now let's say you have a 5 Megabyte MP3 File and for some reason it is stupidly popular and everyone wants it!  All it would take is for 1000 people to download it a month and that's 5 gigabytes of bandwith gone!  And that's just on one file?  If you have four or five popular files like that, your bandwith is gone before you even get started! Now you make think that 1000 people is a lot right?  Not really... only 30 - 35 people per day and if you are on the 20 Gigabyte plan, you could run into problems each month with having to purchase more bandwith.  

Other than that, nope no problems.

If you use Frontpage you don't want to FTP.

You can't do that - Lunarpages does not care, but Frontpage gets upset because it can't keep track of the files if you use ftp.
 You don't have to do anything special to use FP - all you do is hit publish, type in your domain <www.mysite.com> and the password.
 Don't worry about directories, ftp, cojntrol panels, or manual uploading.
