Publishing to a new site with FrontPage

If your shared-IP site has been created, but your domain name is not yet resolving, FrontPage will have a problem publishing to your space in the usual manner.

Generally, publishing to http://www.yourdomain.com works fine in FrontPage. But because the name is not pointing to your space, FP must use the IP address. For accounts with a dedicated IP (200MB and up), this works fine as the server knows which account to put the files in. If you have a shared IP, however, you will have to use the notation:

http://ipaddress/~username/

to publish to your site, or wait for the name to resolve.

You can also publish using FrontPage's FTP function. Just put:

ftp://ipaddress

instead of using the http: method.
