   Please note that Front Page extensions use special hidden files to work and these take up approximately 3MB of your disc space allocation. We suggest that customers only request Front Page extensions if they actually intend to upload using this method. Even if you use Front Page to edit your website you do not necessarily need to use Front Page to upload your site unless you are actually using Front Page components in your pages. If you do not know what these are then the chances are that you would be better off using a standard ftp client to upload your files.
