Q. What is the difference between a disk-based and server based web?
A. By default, FrontPage creates disk-based webs when you choose the File, New Web option from the menu. A disk-based web is a web that has not been published to a web server. Disk-based webs are accessed by selecting a folder location on your Hard Drive, such as C:My Webs.
Server-based webs are webs that have been published to a web server. You can access these webs by selecting File, Open Web and putting in the location of your web site, such as http://www.mydomain.com/. If you are running a web server locally you would choose http://localhost/ to open your web.
The advantage of using a server-based web is that you can develop and test out all features that require the FrontPage Server Extensions to function.
