index.html is a frameset which includes http://fp.bourtonvale.plus.com as it's source.
Your options as i see it are
1. Delete index.html which will make index.htm the default page.
2. Edit index.html replacing http://fp.bourtonvale.plus.com with index.htm

Quote from: Bob Derek, you really need to look at moving your sites away from FrontPage. Less and less hosting companies are offering support for FrontPage extensions and this is a situation that's going to worsen and not get better.
The decommissioning of our FrontPage service is being discussed over on Think Broadband too where it's already been identified that Purple Cloud, 1 and 1 and Surpass have all ceased providing FrontPage support. I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg too.
I'm sure there are hosts out there that still offer support for FrontPage server extensions however you have to ask yourself exactly how long they can continue to do this before it becomes impractical.
I would hope (probably naively) that they would continue to offer it for as long as their customers wanted it - being in a service industry and all....!!
I am genuinely sorry to leave Plusnet, but it appears I have no choice. I'm currently looking at other ISPs as suggested.

I think the scenario you suggest is probably somewhat unlikely.
However, I've found another ISP now that has no plans to end FP support, so the site will be moved and Plusnet simply lose themselves business..........

Quote from: derekmines Well, one would assume that this "vulnerability" has been there all along, and the site has been running quite happily for many years with no "links to unsavoury sites" making an appearance thus far.

Hardly a very sound argument in an ever changing world but the choice is yours.

Using that argument Microsoft wouldn't bother releasing monthly updates to XP, Vista etc to fix vulnerabilities newly discovered.
Obviously all vulnerabilities will have been there all the time and it's only when the hacking community gets to know about them that they are a problem.
You could try sending a polite email to all the hackers asking them on scouts honour to only exploit already known vulnerabilities and ignore any newly discovered ones.

Can someone (Bob?) check out www.quarrymans-arms.co.uk and confirm if having the contact form re-written in PHP would mean that I can leave the hosting with Plusnet.
My friend gets very confused with IT stuff and really doesn't want to have another "Internet related" account to deal with.
