Thank you for your reply. I can change my ISP to an ISP
who supports the FP server extensions, so that would
solve whether or not my ISP can host my site.

My main concern is that I want my web site to be viewable
by all users (who have current, up-to-date browsers ...
IE & Netscape). So it sounds like I need to find a list
of which features have limited compatibility with the
mainstream, up-to-date browsers.

Thanks again ! :)
