frontpage 2003, no support?

[Randy Rineer]

can someone please explain something to me? i upgraded to FP2003 from 2000.
i just ran into a problem. my host doesnt support 2003. as i look around the
net i am seeing noone hosts 2003 because microsoft has to certify them or
something? so what is the point in even having 2003 if you cant use it? can
someone please explain all of this and let me know who hosts it?

If your host supports FrontPage extensions, then they
support the program "FrontPage 2003."
There are no FrontPage 2003 extensions,
the "program" FrontPage 2003 uses the
"front-page 2002 extensions"

FrontPage 2003 is the latest version of the
program you can install on your computer.

FrontPage "extensions" version 2002 is the latest
version of extensions available for a server / host.

Define "doesn't support 2003" and define "has to certify them".

2003 doesn't require anything special on the server. If it's the server
extensions you are talking about, they can use the FP2002 server extensions.
There are no 2003 extensions.
