FrontPage 2003 uses server extensions and Web.com has removed them from their servers. This means I cannot update and republish my website. They say I must redo my web pages with another program. I cannot code myself and cannot afford an outsider to do it. To redo my web pages will take a year. Meantime, I can't publish my address change and various changes to my services. Are their any programs that can take my pages and make them work in their software? Any other suggestions.
 
Step 1) download and save every page to a local disk. This will give you the raw HTML that was generated by the server for that page.

With that, you can at least perform forced edit and upload of the critical information.

Meanwhile, you can look for a programmer to assist you in the rework.
 
From the wiki
FrontPage used to require a set of server-side plugins originally known as IIS Extensions. The extension set was significantly enhanced for Microsoft inclusion of FrontPage into the Microsoft Office line-up with Office 97 and subsequently renamed FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE). Both sets of extensions needed to be installed on the target web server for its content and publishing features to work. Microsoft offered both Windows and Unix-based versions of FPSE. FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions worked with earlier versions of FrontPage as well. FPSE 2002 was the last released version which also works with FrontPage 2003 and was later updated for IIS 6.0 as well. However, with FrontPage 2003, Microsoft began moving away from proprietary Server Extensions to standard protocols like FTP and WebDAV for remote web publishing and authoring.[5] FrontPage 2003 can also be used with Windows SharePoint Services.

The IIS web development environment is not that common -- the defacto websever has be Apache for more than a decade.

Getting off FP is going to be painful -- sorry
