IWeb transfer to another domain name?

I recently purchased a .com name..........from another server.
I would like to transfer my iWeb page to this server but am really getting confused.  Is there a simple tutorial or way to do this?  I have printed out the tutorial from iWeb and lso from the server, but when it comes down to CNAME, MX Record, A Record, NS Record..........help?
Thank you.

If you have published your site to MobileMe, then you DO NOT need to use ftp in any way shape or form.  FTP is only needed if you are uploading your site directly to a hosting account, which you have now said that you do not have, just the domain name.
Also, you ARE NOT trying to forward MobileMe to your domain name - it is the other way around - what you will do if forward your domain name to MobileMe where you site is published.
1.  Log in to your MobileMe account under System Preferences and go to where is has Personal Domain on the left hand side and click on this and then where it has enable your domain name, simply enter your domain name here and it will then tell you to go to your domain name registrar and set up CNAME forwarding.
2.  Go to where you domain name is (your domain name registrar) and log into your account there and then go to the DNS settings and set up CNAME forwarding.
If you have A records, then you need to delete these and set up 2 new CNAME's, one for www and one for @. The www represents your sub domain, which is http://www.domain.com and then the @ represents your domain name itself which is http://domain.com.
Set up CNAME forwarding for both these so it should look something like this:
www CNAME web.me.com
@ CNAME web.me.com
This is all you need do and your site should then work.
You might have got the correct help here faster if you had stated from the start that you were actually publishing your site to MobileMe.
Also remember, that MobileMe will no longer be here next year, so you will need to get a hosting account from another company, preferably the same company that your domain name is registered with.

  • Cant connect using another domain name

    Hi. iChat is up and running, we're able to connect to it using user@servername, but when we try to use another domain name it doesnt work (dns is pointed to that server, if i ping it it does give the correct ip), i know the dns is working because if i check the server log it does say i connected to it, but 1 sec. after it disconnects any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You must ensure that you list the other domains in the Host Domains section of the Settings tab Server Admin application. Assuming you have done that and you still have problem, it will help us help you if you post the entries you have in the log file and the domains and one of the usernames you are trying to use.

  • Post .mac site to another domain name still on mac server?

    I have both a domain name that is .mac and a .biz url. I do not have another server to upload to (I just own the domain name), and would like to use my .mac website designed using iweb '06 v.1.1.2 and load it on the mac server but have the .biz url be the url the public will use... this is for a business website. How do I do this?
    The directions in all the help files assume the use of another server holding the domain name... maybe this is a requirement, but seems to be a waste to have a .mac account but have to have such a convoluted url for the public.
    Is this possible?

    Hi there,
    little correction: they don't assume having another server. They assume having it registered from a domain registrar. Which is quite different. You have to tell the domain registrar to point the domain to .mac.
    This page may help... At least I hope it does...

  • IWeb & Setting up Personal Domain Name is Brutal

    I know I run the risk of getting this post taken down, but I have just spent six hours trying to have my iWeb pages sent to my domain page.
    Nothing has been more difficult.
    - There was no direction that I needed to get my domain name from another service.
    - There was no direction suggestions where to get my domain name. (I finally for one from godaddy.com)
    - The CNAME, adjustment, www etc. directions are AWFUL and absolutely no help.
    There is so much more to complain about.
    I am still hoping that someone can provide a point, by point directions as to how to point my domain name to my iWeb pages.
    Nothing has been more difficult in my 25 years with Apple.

    I think Apple did a great job, as far as it could. I used to work for a small training company in San Francisco. When I started our the first classes for HTML back in the '90's, we used text editing programs to place the graphics and all other layout. I wasn't very good at visualizing the text to how it would look, so I spent way too much time viewing pages and making corrections or tweaks. I don't type as well as I could, so typo's always killed me. With dial-up services being the norm - graphics optimization was/is key for pages to work well and required learning to use graphics tools like Photoshop 2
    Some better text editing tools came out with buttons that worked similar to the Bold, Italic, Underline buttons, but they allowed us to insert the code for graphics, anchors, and links. Too Cool. Saved a lot of typing and typo's.
    Then Adobe PageMill brought drag and drop to site design and I quit coding by hand. I understand the code and can fine tune it to what I want, but just grabbing the picture and placing in a table was really easy, and choosing fonts and font sizes from a menu was very nice. Then I upgraded to GoLive because I wanted to do full scale commercial sites, and use all of the other technologies that have sprung up. I would have stayed with GoLive for many more years, but right after I upgraded to GoLive 9, Adobe decided I needed to pay $200 more for a sidegrade to Dreamweaver or lose my investment and support. So I jumped at Dreamweaver with it's learning curve and tutorials, and I'm almost competent with it now after a year.
    None of these programs explained how to get a domain name or set up DNS. Meanwhile, the hosting services have evolved, and they all have their own system.
    I didn't use any previous version of iWeb because it was a pain to publish to anything but .mac or whatever Apple names it's server and the server has never had enough speed for me. It wasn't until iWeb '09 that I really began to take a look at it for some simple projects that could be put together in an evening, and turned over to a client for them to have fun with.
    For what it does, iWeb is fantastic. I've created pages with layers and rich graphics that would have required much more work with any other program I've ever used. The learning curve for iWeb is as simple as opening a page and exploring all the buttons. Of course, you might need to understand why you would need a button, like the poster a couple of days ago, that didn't understand how to link to another page. But you catch on pretty fast.
    iWeb will turn out results within a week or two, that would take you several years of study and graphics/site design to master. It has many limitations, so I wouldn't consider it for a commercial site, unless the site is a 'business card' site with show and tell, but not for retail sales, or a very large number of pages.
    I'm hoping that iWeb will improve with future versions enough so that some tools for sidewide management like widgets that hold a navigation bar, that you design on your pages, and when you update the navigation bar in the widget, all the pages get updated automatically, or even the ability to change the address for a URL on one page and have it change on every page the link is on. Updates and corrections are not as easy to do with iWeb as other programs.
    Still, for 5 or 10 page sites, iWeb templates take care of so many design choices that it is pretty easy to come up with something visually pleasing and informative.
    All that being said, no design program has actually helped me understand a particular host's system. They are all different because they run on different versions of software like different versions of Apache or Windows server. Each company considers itself the master of security (by advertisement) and they use many different methods to control their servers and the services they offer.
    Sometimes, the easiest way to get started is to go to a company like seanic.net and just sign up for their $3.92/month Linux based server. They even throw in the domain name with the deal. All of these hosting companies provide email services, ftp (some with password protection at no cost), and some provide more advanced services like SQL database, Perl scripting, and CGI-BIN. You don't need to use all of the features at once, and the tech support of a commercial company can get you going pretty quickly.
    The tech support can show you where to upload your files, they set up DNS, and handle all of those other chores, so you can concentrate on designing interesting pages with iWeb.
    Sorry for the blathering...

  • Move a blog to another domain name

    How can I easily move an existing blog with its current and archived entries to a different site/domain name?
    I have an existing family iWeb site with an embedded blog. Since viewship has grown beyond the original intended audience, I want to move the blog to its own domain name for privacy reasons.
    Also, I am a .Mac family pack user. I use domain maksing to inhibit the appearance of the native URL's. The blog entries contain a number of links to previous blog entries.
    I thought about the following steps but thought it wise to solicit advise first!
    1. Create a new id using our .Mac family pack.
    2. Copy the existing Domain file.
    3. Delete all the non-blog entries within the copied file.
    4. Publish the copied file to the new id.
    This seems to simple to be true, which I why I thought it wise to ask for advice before trying!
    Thanks

    Doug...
    Your steps sound pretty much on key. The only other thing that you might want to consider is creating another user account on your computer to use your separate .Mac ID. Then just copy the Domain over and delete the non-blog stuff like you said. The separate user account would make it so that you wouldn't have to manually change the .Mac info in System Preferences...just log in and log out.

  • .Mac gallery in iweb site with custom domain name

    This is my first post on the boards and I want to say that switching from pc to mac has been one of the greatest moves of my life. Anyways Im a photographer and have my own domain name. Ive created a site in iweb with .mac photo galleries on it. To upload the site I used an external ftp loader. The site looks great but when I click on the galleries it takes me to the .mac gallery page and there is no link to get back to the home page.

    When you create the link to a .Mac gallery, check the box "Open link in new window" in the "link" inspector.

  • Another domain name problem

    So I have a site with iWeb. The full address is-
    http://web.mac.com/neilbowman/GBFS/Graham_Bowman.html
    I bought a domain name through yahoo-
    www.grahambowman.com
    I set up the personal domain settings on mobile me
    Then In the DNS settings the source to www.grahambowman.com
    and the destination is web.me.com.
    I was wanting my address to be www.grahambowman.com, but there's problems.
    When you go to that address is ads on /iWebSiteName/PageName.html
    I really wanted it to be simply, www.grahambowman.com and not have the other stuff on it.
    Also when you type in just grahambowman.com with no www it gets you to a yahoo under construction page. I've looked around in forums but can't get this to work correctly. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    You domain works as it should.
    The other stuff are the pages in your site. Millions of websites have them.
    It that disturbs you, use a [frameset|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/frames/frameset.html].
    In that case you do not need a Personal domain at MMeor CNAME.
    Use URL forwarding with masking. You can manage it at your domain host. They provide the frameset.

  • IWeb iWebSites. Aussie Domain Names.  Search Engines and Business

    Hi Everyone,
    I am starting a business in Australia. I'm experimenting with my iWeb sites. I can publish and URL forward to seperate sites on my iDisk. I'm working with iWebSites and have just discovered iWeb SEO Tool, but not tried it yet.
    I have several .net.au domain names which can be url forwarded to my web pages on iDisc.
    At present I'm having no luck with my domain names showing up on Google Searches. I'm experimentig with Google Webmaster tools. Further suggestios would be appreciated.
    I read on a recent post that .Mac (.ME) iWeb was maybe not the best for business.
    As I live in Australia, would I benefit from having my web pages on Australiam servers? OR Can I solve the issues and continue with my .Mac (.ME) subscription and save extra expense?
    Thanks in anticipation for assistance.
    SoulSearcher

    It is always beneficial to have a website with a domain that is local to the market you serve. However, once you have created your XML sitemap and submitted to Google Webmaster Tools you can tell Google that your website is geared towards the Australian market.
    Google has confirmed that this is just as beneficial as having a local domain name for your country.
    However I do recommend you get a proper host and an Australian domain name for the best results. You can pay as little as $60.00/year for everything. These are the reasons;
    1) If you plan on doing this later on it is always better to have a domain name with a longer history
    2) You have a better chance of ranking higher if you have your own domain name with your company's name in it, or your targeted keywords, than if you use a me.com address
    3) If you build up incoming links and then decide to switch to a domain name you will lose all of your link popularity that you have built up. The more people who link to your site, the better chance of ranking high for your keywords.

  • IWeb 8.0 - personal domain name publishing

    I have created a site and published to my MobileMe account and also published - to my personal domain name, to which the site tells me I have successfully published to the new name/site. I click on visit the site - and it comes up as address unknown. Repeatedly - for two days now.
    The site is published as can be - and yet, it still does not come up under my personal domain name. It will come up as my .mac.(username) - address, but not the personal name that I want. The domain is active and shows in my MobileMe account as active, so what's the disconnect? What step am I missing?

  • Iweb transfer to another mac?

    I've read the current posts but am still having difficulties. I have published the site from iWeb from my mac laptop but want to work on it from my imac where most of my photos are. Both computers are using snow leopard and ilife 09.  I went to the user/library/application support/iweb/domain.site and tried to copy the domain.site to my thumb drive but I get an error message. The file is on my thumbdrive but muted. If I try to paste it to iweb/domain.site on imac it doesn't work. Any ideas on why I can't copy to thumbdrive without error and where to copy it on imac when I do get it copied.
    thanks,

    You can connect both machines via ethernet and turn on file sharing to transfer the Domain.sites2 file. Or, compress it from the Finder File menu and drag it onto an email etc, etc. Its also a good idea to keep an up to date copy on your server so that you can download it from anywhere.
    Once transferred, drag the Domain.sites2 into Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and double cilick it to test...

  • Business catalyst transfer hosting / domain name issues

    Hello,
    Hopefully someone can help with this. There is no information to be found anywhere about this anywhere. So here goes..
    -Basically I have a an old site using my  .com hosted away from CC. I also have a newer version of my website hosted at CC and using the same .com BUT using the 'Business catalyst" tag"
    -I now want to shut down my old site hosted away from CC-to free up the .com so I can use me new website WITHOUT having to use the Business catalyst tag (While remain being hosted on CC)
    This is what my other host has asked me to get - (and that Adobe has no information on)
    My old host:
    "In order to transfer the domain name to your new provider (CC) you need to organise the following:
    .co.uk domain - In order to transfer the .co.uk domain name,
    we need to be given the new 'Nominet Tag' for your new provider (CC). We can then switch the tag at our end and your new provider (CC) can gain access to the domain name.
    .com domain - In order to transfer the .com domain name, your new provider (CC) will need to request a transfer of the .com domain from their end. We have unlocked the domain so this can be requested. Once they have done this, we will be able to provide an authorisation code that will enable them to complete the transfer."
    Please help. This is very confusing..
    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!!

    Hi,
    If planning on reusing a domain for another site...
    First you need to remove the domain from our old site/host. Once you have done this you can then add your domain to whichever site you require.  Then set up your DNS accordingly whether you want to host with BC or externally.

  • Still having problems forwarding a domain name to my iWeb site

    I'm still having some issues linking another domain name I own to my existing iWeb site. I forwarded the other domain through my GoDaddy account, but when I try it with www in front of the forwarding name, it directs me to my MobileMe home page. Without typing in the www, the forwarding works just fine.
    I must be doing something wrong, but not sure where to adjust things.
    Thanks,
    Steve Pressman

    Steve,
    It sounds like your CNAME may not be set up properly. You'll want to make sure your CNAME www is forwarding to @ which will be the host where the domain is forwarding currently without the www. Here is a link with some instructions (see the section on "Adding or Editing CNAME Records": http://x.co/RBCW

  • Is there a way to get a domain name if im using iweb?

    ok, i have beeen working really hard on this website i made on iweb, but i do not want it to have the "www.apple......." how can i buy my domain name to make it whatever name i want it to be ... " .com"
    is there a way to transfer an iweb site to a domain name?

    A website at dotMac is:
    http://web.mac.com/YourdotMacID/
    Using a domain of your own is [regularly discussed|http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=c188&search=Go&q=domai n+webhost] in this forum.
    How you publish to such domain is explained in the iWeb Help:
    +*Using your own domain name*+
    +If you purchased your own domain name (for example, www.example.com) from a service provider, you can use that URL for websites you create with iWeb.+
    +These instructions are for sites published to .Mac. If you aren’t publishing to .Mac, see:+
    +Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac ►+
    +To use your own domain name for a site published to .Mac:+
    +Choose File > Set Up Personal Domain.+
    +If you are connected to the Internet, the .Mac website opens in your web browser.+
    +On the .Mac website, follow the onscreen instructions.+
    +It may take a few hours or a few days for forwarding to take effect. If you open iWeb after forwarding has taken effect, your personal domain appears at the bottom of the iWeb window. After you publish your site, you can announce the new URL to your visitors with an announcement email.+
    +If iWeb is open when forwarding takes effect, you won’t see your personal domain at the bottom of the iWeb window until after you publish your site.+
    +Hit counters don’t reset; they count visitors to your site whether they use your personal domain URL or the .Mac URL.+
    OR
    +*Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac*+
    +Instead of publishing your site to .Mac, you can publish your site to a folder on a local destination (your hard disk, for example) and then upload it to the server or hosting provider of your choice.+
    +To publish your site somewhere other than .Mac:+
    +Choose File > “Publish to a Folder.”+
    +If you have Subscribe buttons on your site, you must specify your site’s URL in the message that appears.+
    +Choose a location to store your site, and then click Choose.+
    +Use a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client to upload the site folder and index file to the location of your choice.+
    +iWeb does not provide an FTP client, but they are easy to obtain. Some hosting services provide a web-based FTP upload service, or you can download an FTP client from the web. For more information, contact your server administrator.+
    +If you don’t publish your site to .Mac, these features are unavailable:+

  • I have a mobleme account and an existing iweb website. I would like to create a second website with a registered domain name. How do I do this?

    I have a mobleme account and an existing iweb website. I would like to create a second website with a registered domain name. How do I do this?

    All you need to do is create your second site in iWeb, move it to the top of lhe list of sites in the left hand pane and publish to your MobileMe account. You must make sure the second site has a different name from the first.
    Then setup domain name forwarding to the second site following Apple's instructions here: iWeb: Using your own domain name. You will need to setup forwarding at your domain name provider also. 
    The key is that the second site (with the domain name) must the top top size in iWeb.
    Note:  with MobileMe scheduled to be discontinued on June 30, 2012, you might begin looking into obtaining another host.  When you do you'll find that both sites will need to have a domain name. 
    When the time comes take a look at HostExcellence.com.  I've had excellent results with it. They have a couple of packages that offer free domain names.  And most important they have outstanding 24/7, ear-to-ear customer support.

  • Transfer of Domain Name

    Ready to publish my site, found a great Web Hosting company,
    but need to transfer Domain name. The new Web Hosting company
    requires that I approve in advance any charges that they will incur
    on my behalf for the transfer of the Domain Name. Being the
    existing provider for the name (the site isn't up yet) Yahoo, I
    don't know how many dollars this could be. Any ideas?

    Okay, you bought a Domain name from Yahoo. Now you have a
    site that you want to publish. How do you transfer your Domain Name
    to the Web Hosting company? That's the question isn't it?
    First of all, this will cost you nothing. You already paid
    for your domain name and you will pay your web hosting company a
    fee for hosting your web site.
    We are dealing with two kinds of servers here: Domain Name
    servers and web page servers. Your Yahoo Domain Name servers need
    to point to the web servers that belong to the web hosting company.
    That's what it means to transer your Domain name.
    The domain name servers are the computers that contain the
    information relating to your domain name, INCLUDING THE ADDRESS OF
    THE WEB SERVER that contains your web files. There is a primary
    name server and a secondary name server. Transferring your domain
    name essentially means supplying the name servers with the address
    of the web servers that contain your web files so web users will be
    directed to your web site.
    Instructions on how to transfer your Domain name (or, in
    other words, how to edit your name servers) is on the Yahoo web
    site. Your web hosting company has probably provided you with DNS
    server addresses (primary and secondary). If not, you need to get
    that information. You take that information and follow the
    instructions on the Yahoo site for editing your name servers.
