OK, long story:
My wife and I have both had websites up for several years. Mine stays pretty stagnant but my wife's needs to be updated regularly. We have been using MS Frontpage for editing and we're both relatively comfortable with it. We were both using Aplus for our hosting but around a year ago they went through some "upgrades" (code for screwing everything up) and we've been consistently unable to update my wife's website since. Every time we call they say it's on our end and after days of phone calls we finally get them to admit that it was a problem with the Frontpage extensions on their end. They fix it and everything works for about a week then we're back to the same BS.
Two weeks ago my wife decided she had had enough and asked me to transfer her site over to Intuit. I spent two weeks trying to get the domain transferred and now that it finally has, her website won't show up. I received an email yesterday saying the transfer was successful then the email tells me the homepage must be named "index" for the website to load. Now you would think this might be something they would inform you of before doing the domain transfer but they didn't. So I start trying to determine how to rename the file. Turns out you can't. The Sitebuilder software we have to use isn't capable. It also turns out the Sitebuilder software won't work on Windows 7. Again, something they might have considered telling us before we went through the nightmare of transferring her domain. I'm at about 98.7% capacity on pissed off at this point and Inuit will be getting a nice phone call tomorrow telling them to shove it.
So my question is this:
Does there exist, anywhere on this wonderfully huge place we call the internet, where we can publish a relatively simple website using MS Frontpage and actually be able to edit it when we would like to? I'm sick of talking with people in India who have que cards which say "the problem must be on your end". I'm not talking about a complex web page with a shopping cart although we would like to be able to do that at some point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
