Rename a web site

When you rename a web site, Microsoft FrontPage automatically updates all internal hyperlinks and other web settings with the new site name.

1. On the Tools menu, click Web Settings, and then click the General tab.
2. In the Web name box, type a new name for the web.

Notes

• Renaming a disk-based web site changes the path to the web site on your local computer or local network. Renaming a server-based web site changes the web site's URL on the server.
• If you rename a web site after publishing it, you'll need to republish the entire web site under the new name. Hyperlinks from other web sites to your old web site will no longer work, so be sure to advise your site visitors of the new path or URL. You can also redirect the old URL to the new URL by creating a virtual directory on the server; consult your server documentation for details.
