A concise, practical checklist for the issue raised by (and the replies from and ): the first thing to understand is that FrontPage publishes into the site content folder configured on the web server. If the IP you publish from suddenly changes, that can be a simple DNS/network config problem — or it can mean the machine or DNS records were tampered with. Treat it as a security incident until proven otherwise.

Immediate triage (do these first)

  • Preserve evidence: copy web server and system event logs and take a disk image if possible. Do not overwrite logs.
  • Verify DNS externally: confirm the authoritative A record for your domain from another network.
  • Check the server itself: confirm the assigned IP, review web-server site bindings and the hosts file, and look for recent file changes in the site folder.
  • Hunt for live indicators: list listening ports and map PIDs to processes. Look for new admin accounts, odd scheduled tasks/services, or unfamiliar binaries.
  • Isolate the host if compromise is likely (remove public network access) and restore service from a trusted backup on a rebuilt system.

Quick commands for triage (examples)

nslookup example.com
dig +short example.com
ipconfig /all
netstat -ano | findstr :80

Recovery and hardening notes

  • Rotate every credential that could access the server, DNS registrar, or FTP/management interfaces and enable two-factor where possible.
  • If compromise is confirmed, rebuild the OS from trusted media and restore site content from backups that predate the incident.
  • Remove obsolete server components (legacy publishing extensions), use secure transfer (SFTP/FTPS) or a modern CI/CD deployment pipeline, apply all OS/web-server updates, harden permissions, and enable central logging and alerts.
  • Lock your domain/registrar account and monitor DNS for unauthorized changes.

For general web-app and server hardening guidance, see established best-practice resources such as the OWASP Top Ten (https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/).

I think InetPUB.

I dono, what I think you mean is that you need a place to put your actual html files?

you can get free hosting here

but if you already have a server you should be able to put the page files on the server... inless you still need a domain name, which you can buy here
http://pub44.bravenet.com
or get one for free here
http://www.dot.tk

hope this helps

Thanks y'all. I already knew how to post to Inetpub, but that wasn't my problem. The thing was, somebody got onto my server and changed the ip address that I publish from. It's okay now. Everything is up and running! :cheesy:
