1and1.com's Ms accounts only allow for one login, if you have multipal
domains under the unix accounts you are out of luck... 1and1.com
cripled thousands of sites including 12 of my clients sites. Am
searching for a new solution, looks like http://www.ixwebhosting.com
will provide the same service.

I am on the FPSE team and did get a call about this today.
We checked and 1and1 appears to still have Windows hosting that has FPSE on
it.
The issue you will most likely have though is that 1and1 appears to have
deleted the _vti* and _private and _script directories.
You can switch to a windows host but if you dont have a local copy of your
site that includes the metadata you might loose some features when you
publish to the new FPSE server.

Hi Larry:
Based on what I've read elsewhere, I suspect that your sites are hosted on
UNIX servers. The FrontPage Server Extensions for UNIX were discontinued
quite a while ago (I want to say June of 2006 but I could be mistaken), and
in fact, were never supported by Microsoft - they were written, distributed
and supported by a company called Ready-to-Run.
I doubt that Microsoft ordered 1and1.com to remove the FPSE for UNIX and
only give their customers 3 days notice - that's not good business practice
for either company or their customers. I've sent an email to my contacts at
Microsoft to get more information.
In the meantime, ask 1and1.com if they are still running the FPSE on their
Windows servers. If they are, could you get them to move your sites,
assuming they would still work on Windows?

Hi, I develop websites, and used to use FPSE's with frontpage for forms
mainly, rarely anything else. Today, I received a notice that says in
three
days my host provider (which I have signed up scores of customers on) is
removing the extensions completely. My Host provider is 1and1.com.
Obviously, I became quite concerned. So, I called. In fact, they are
removing the extensions in three days. I have at least 25 customers that
use
them for form functionality (over the last two years all are using CGI,
before then is the problem). They state the reason for the three day
notice
is because Microsoft ordered them to remove them.
Now, I have a very difficult problem. I am the busiest I have ever been
and
don't have time to call all of the customers, nor do I have time to
convert
them. But, their website forms will stop working on Monday (yes, the
weekend
is part of the 3 day notice).
My question is, does anyone know about this? Could this in fact be true
that MS is forcing them to remove them? Could it be that 1and1.com has
violated some licensing agreement? Why would they do this to themselves
and
force so many into this problem and risk losing so many customers?
1and1.com
is reported to be the largest host provider in the world, this just
doesn't
add up. Anyone with help, and info is appreciated.
Thank you, Larry- Hide quoted text -
