Hi,
What are the most common support questions? I appreciate answers from both Linux and Windows hosts.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Go to a linux/windows webhost's website and look at the faq. That should give you a good idea of what questions they are asked most often.

1. what is FTP?
2 what is SSH/telnet
3 what is a e-mail client?
4 what is that http.config file for?

"How do I set up my e-mail account?"
"How do I upload my site with Frontpage?"
Those two questions account for the bulk of early e-mail support issues in our case.
Later things such as "How do I point my extra domain to my main account" usually crop up.

I'd say something Frontpage Server related. So typical since I really don't like FP Extensions myself - never actually used it for real...
( I am a windows host btw )
