Publishing to .Net ISP

I have recently purchased another domain and hosted with
a top UK ISP who claims to have .Net licked.

I have beeen using frontpage for years publishing sites
and right now I use FP2003 to develop a variety of webs
on my systems here for publishing. I have various
versions of FP extensions on my different servers here so
I understand versions.

I am receving errors when I try to conenct to the hosted
web for publish. Investigating, my ISP has the following
detailed on the domain control panel...

Please note:
The FrontPage Extensions will only work if you use an ASP
Script for directing your domains.
Otherwise we recommend to leave the root directory as the
assigned directory. You can download our sample ASP
Script here.
If you don´t require FrontPage you can redirect your
domain using the "Edit" next to your (sub-)domain.
 
It appears your ISP is running multiple domains on a
single IP address and port. You (and visitors) get to the
correct domain based on the incoming request's HTTP_HOST
header.

It also appears that when using the FrontPage Server
Extensions there's a right and a wrong way to do this,
and you ISP has chosen the wrong way. Pity or pithy (your
discretion).

Fortunately, the error message contains the fix. Your ISP
needs to stop using their current methods of redirecting
domains, and download, install, and configure the
Microsoft-recommended ASP script instead.

Alternatively, they need to give you a non-shared
(dedicated) IP address.

Thanks for your reply I thought that might be kind of the response.

The bit about ASP scripts has a link which I followed, typically there are
no scripts at the destination that I can find or any further details. If
there was what do I do with the script?

Do I have to integrate it with my own HTML to be published?

No, this is something your ISP needs to deploy.
