I am transferring my website from my old host to Bluehost right now. During the process a message box has popped up asking if I want to delete "bash_logout" or something like from BH since my Front Page website doesn't have it. I've said no, but I don't even know what this bash_logout is and was just afraid to delete anything I might need later. Should I have said yes? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? lol

I see a lot of references to Front Page extensions ...is this something I should be worried about? Does BH support these extensions (I don't even have a grasp of what they are), or am I going to need to do a lot of tweaking once the site has transferred over?

Thx for all the help, you folks are great. :)

And another issue -it keeps TIMING OUT! Three times now this has happened, I get a message that the "port closed" because it timed out. When I go to re-publish, is it starting from scratch each time? Is there something I should be doing to keep it from timing out?

Apparently when Front Page transferred my site from the old host to this one, it deleted important items from the cpanel. Tech support had to re-set the whole site. No big deal, I uploaded things via ftp and now all is well. :)

Thanks for following up even though you got it fixed yourself. It helps others in the same situation.
