Yeah. I'm trying to migrate her over to Wordpress but she has 7000+ HTML
pages. It's like an online encyclopedia she is running. I was going to
put her on one of mine that could handle her traffic but she made the
offer to purchase her own VPS so this will be fine.

I keep telling her Frontpage is EOL but she knows us computer folks can
think of something.

Maybe I'll put in a bid to copy/paste/reformat her pages over to
Wordpress.. ;-)
