I have worked with www.HostMySite.com for years and highly recommend them.
They are very reasonably priced, provide excellent support, and offer
FrontPage extensions. They have an e-Commmerce solution of some kind,
although for a small shop, I would recommend simply going with PayPal.

This is a good thread. I hope it gets more replies. I just started with
Brinkster.com. I have years of experience in software development, but I am
new to FrontPage and designing Websites.

While I developing my site I am using the professional model, not the
enterprise one. The features were close except for more Horse power
(bandwith), space and some database tools. I figure I will upgrade if and
when it is obvious that I need to do so.

In general I am satisfied with Brinkster. It cost me about $60 for 3 months
and a website domain name for 1 year. If I choose to I can move th domain
name to another provider. The offer free names that stay with them and you
do not pick your own name. The price seems reasonable. I did not do much
shopping.

It does support FrontPage extensions but I am having some problems. The
Brinkster tech support is responsive but not always with the answer you are
hpoing for. I am currentlly having a problem with the FrontPage tools for
routing Form input to an email account. You need to do it a certain way with
".asp" code as described by Brinkster. I have yet to get it to work.

I have published my site many times from my local machine to the server with
(almost) no problems. I was having serious problems with Frontpage until I
updated to SP2.

Hope this helps. I look forward to reading other comments.

I have used lunarpages.com. Been happy with them.
Very reasonable price, FP extensions, has a free setup for oscommerce and
other useful open source applications.

Note: oscommerce needs skills to customise, and could be more than what you
need.

It would be interesting to get hosts that people have had bad experiences
with, so one knows which to avoid<g>.

my friend Eugene Kapustin from www.arendkay.net is a good host and a good
guy. he's the _only_ person you'll have to deal with for tech support and
he's got deals for both "regular" clients and "resellers".

Also, Thomas Brunt a new FrontPage MVP has very good hosting and help
