2 websites & 2 domain names

I have created two websites in iWeb '08. I have two separate personal domain names I want to use. I have connected one of them to the first site but I am having trouble with the 2nd. Is this even possible to do? Yes, I am new to working in iWeb so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you much!

If you are publish to MobileMe you have to use masking for the second domain name. See....

Updates to website after domain name change

Can I still update my website using iweb after I transition to a new domain name?

I use third party hosting to mean a company other than Apple's .Mac. I also use godaddy to host my sites and it is very simple. They will provide an address of the ftp site name for your domain. I publish from iWeb to a folder, then use Cyberduck (any FTP program will do) to upload. You don't even need the ftp program because godaddy has their own simple ftp built in to the service. They also have excellent and free technical service. You can look at my site at: http://bandb.holage.com.

Domain name and search engines

Hi
There have been a few helpful postings about the importance
of having text on your frontpage for crawlers etc to improve your
search ranking. My question: how important is the domain name for
search engines? Is it worth investing a dime or 2 on a good generic
domain? If you needed to have 2 words (e.g. www.top-lawyer.com) is
it better to have them combined (e.g. www.toplawyer.com).
PS This is just an example...I am not a lawyer!

I think that your both confusing "domain names" and
"domain/web space
hosting" here.
Typically you register with a hosting company and receive an
amount of disk
space. bandwith etc and a domain name, say
www.thru-the-net.com
You create your web site and upload it to the serve and
people can access
your web site at www.thru-the-net.com
Now you realise that many people outside the US are entering
www.through-the-net.com so you get your provider to register
www.through-the-net.com for you as well and they POINT this
address to
www.thru-the-net.com. That is to say when people enter
www.through-net.com
the actually end up at www.thru-the net.com i.e. the same
place.
This is o.k. you can have as many variations as you want -
www.thru-the-net.com
www.through-the-net.com
www.thruthenet.com
www.throughthenet.com
www.thru-the-net.net
www.through-the-net.net
etc. all pointing to the same www.thru-the-net.com server.
This is o.k. and
the search engines don't mind this.
BUT
If you have SEPARATE web space for each of these domain name
variants and
just copy your entire site into each of these spaces, now the
domains are
not being forwarded. They are entirely stand alone domains
that are all the
same.
Search engines DON'T like these and see them as an attempt at
improving
ranking and therefore penalise all of them.
Sorry for being so long winded, but hopefully this makes
sense.

Domain name/ip address issue with web server

My problem is the reverse of what is normally expected... I can access a website by domain name but not by ip address. Whenever I substitute the website's ip address for the domain name I get 404's.
I'm stumped by this. I can access other websites on the web at large by ip address, but none of the websites hosted on my server will work this way. The domain name works:
http://domain/filename
but
http://ipaddress/filename
returns 404's
Any idea what the problem is?

That's to be expected if you have more than one website configured in IIS. Each website must have a unique identity, made up of the host address, ip address and port number, so in most cases where the webserver only has a single IP address and will obviously
be using port 80 the host name must be different.
If you have only one website, or your website has it's own IP address you can make it accessible via IP. Simply add another identity (like you might have one for mydomain.com and another for
www.mydomain.com), but this time only assign it the IP address and port number, leave the host header value empty. As long as that combination is unique you'll be able to access the website using the IP address. If it's
not unique you'll get an error preventing you from adding the identity, at which point you'll need to find which site it's conflicting with.

Domain name appears twice!

Hi,
I use iWeb to post three different websites, but every time that I log to the first (main) website, the domain name appears as:
http://www.MYNAME.com/www.MYNAME.com
instead of just showing the domain once (http://www.MYNAME.com)
Does someone have any idea about how to fix it?
Thanks!

Go into iWeb and change the name of your site in the top left corner. This happens when you name your site within iWeb the same as your domain name. Change it to something like Site so your site will then come up as http://www.mydomain.com/Site/index.html.
If you don't like this, then take your site off CNAME and forward using ordinary web forwarding by forwarding your domain to web.me.com/username/sitename.
You did not say whether your are publishing to MMe or not? If you are uploading directly, the only thing you can do is change the site name to something different as I suggested.

The window where Domain Name, Edit, Modify doesn't show up to access my Fatcow website on my new iMac in Firefox (the only browser Macs can use). Help!

Just got a new iMac. For the first few days, I was able to log in to, then access the window in Fatcow web host that allows me to make changes to my website. Now, the window that is supposed to say "Domain Name" and "Edit" and "Modify" is blank, so I cannot access my website to make changes. Firefox is the only browser available to Macs through Fatcow. In the two weeks before getting the iMac, I had the same problem on an Acer laptop. Hughesnet is our internet provider, since we live in the country. I have worked with several Fatcow techs, and they do not believe the problem is on their end. When I open Firefox, there is now also a message that says I'm missing plugins, yet when I follow the plugin link, no plugins are listed as missing. I have removed/reinstalled Firefox, to no avail. I have turned off the clear-cookies-automatically add-on, cleared the cache and history, etc., to no avail. I have printed out the HTML script for the Fatcow window from my Mac at work (from which I can access the window) and compared to the one at home. There doesn't appear to be any script missing, but I can't say for sure. I have read several articles, hoping for clues to fixing this problem. Now I need your technical expertise. HELP!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

How can I get safari to change the website history to follow an old domain name to a different sitedifferent

I have a domain name that I changed to point to a different website. But it is still pointing to the old site. When I put the domain name in my iPad, it goes to the new site. But the old site seems to be in the memory of Safari on my computer. Any ideas?

Delete the old bookmark and create a new one. If not bookmarked, just delete your History.

How can I publish a website to a different domain name other than .mac

I have a domain name with godaddy.com and I want to publish a website design with iweb. How can I do it?

You need to sign up with a web hosting service and then upload your published files using an FTP application.

Hi there,
You need to get a domain yourself.

Using my existing domain name to refer to a .Mac website created with iWeb

How do I have my domain name connect to my .Mac website address, without using a slow redirect?

The place where you got your domain name should be able to tell you how to forward to your web.mac.com url. Nothing to do with Apple or iWeb really.

Please Help: website domain name question(s)

First let me get this out in the open: I'm not computer savvy and I'll probably end up using fancy technical computing terms inappropriately. For this, I apologize.
Okay, I have a relatively simple goal (at least I hope it's simple).
All I want is for the little website I created in iWeb and have hosted on .Mac (perhaps "hosted" is the wrong word?) to display the domain name I've given it.
Some potentially helpful info:
My website is called: thegirlandrhino.com
I purchase my domain name at Namecheap.com
At Namecheap.com I utilized the URL forwarding feature -- forwarding http://web.mac.com/thegirlandrhino to http://thegirlandrhino.com
Now then, all of this is works just fine.
However, when I type "www.thegirlandrhino.com" into my address bar, the name changes into: http://web.mac.com/thegirlandrhino/iWeb/TheGirlandRhino/181C45AC-5290-11DB-9315- 001124783C74.html
I find this obnoxious and unsightly.
Does anyone know I can get my site's URL to maintain its "form?"
Thanks Much!

Hey, good job on getting your domain forwarding setup! The feature that you are now looking for is called "Masking". It will let your domain name stay in the address bar no matter what page on your site you surf to, so that all that gibberish URL stays hidden away.
I just took a look at namecheap.com and see that they are calling this feature "cloaking". Just enable this feature from your domain name account and hide away your long .Mac URL...

IWeb domain name for new website?

Hello!
I am new to iWeb and have created a website and now have questions about publishing it. The site I am creating is a replacement for an existing website that I did not make. I want the domain name to be the same as the existing site (cscfarm.com) and just to replace the old one with mine. Now, I would rather not join mobile me because I don't want the confusing url name and I already have permission to use cscfarm.com. My question is, do I have to get the FTP address from the person that currently runs the website? And if so, since I am using iWeb '08, how/where do I enter the FTP address to publish the website? I know that if I had '09 or higher I could do it through iWeb but I believe '08 is different. Am I going to need professional help for this or should I just get iLife '11 OR is it really not as hard as it seems? Any help/suggestions is appreciated!! Thanks so much!

Hi There,
BC does NOT host your domain.
You will need to keep it with your current Domain Registra or transfer it to another domain registra if you wish to close your account with Weebly. This has nothing to do with BC.
The EPP code is just a means to veritfy ownership of the domain and ensure such a transfer is approved by the owner of the domain.
In terms of BC all you do in the domain manager is to point all traffic or just web traffic to BC depending on your requirements/use of email etc.

Transferring an Existing Website from a .Mac Name to a Personal Domain Name

I presently have several websites running using a .Mac Family Pack - on both the primary account and a subaccount. Given the new iLive'08 and the .Mac upgraded capabilities, I'm anxious to migrate these websites to a personal domain name that I own but have not used. My intent would be to run them all on the primary account. I'm familiar with the WSDomains folder found at User>Library>Application Support>iWeb. (In fact, each website is in a sepparate WSDomains folder.)
I realize that it's early, but I'd hoped that Apple might have outlined as step-by-step process for migrating exhisting websites to a personal domain. To date, all I've found is the reference to starting from scratch. Hopefull, my iLive'08 software, when it arrives, will have information for migrating existing websites. Does anyone have a strategy for accomplishing this? And..., since one of the sites is a blog, how do I accomplish this without loosing the postings to the blog?
Any ideas or suggestions would greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Wait, so this only works for .mac users? When I saw that this new version has this personal domain feature, I assumed this meant that the application could now publish directly to a spot besides .web on the internet.
The process I go through to update my websites is long and tedious, and I'm sure many others do it as well: I make a small update to my site (sometimes as minor as a typo or a picture change); publish all of my websites to folders, even if I was only modifying one of the websites; run it through iweb enhancer to make the html show up; upload my changes via ftp.
Is there anything that this new version has to offer that would help make the process shorter? Because that's really the only reason why I would upgrade.

How to I get my iWeb website online without a domain name and using iCloud or .mac....

I want to publish my iweb website online. Since we no longer have mobile me do I use icloud, and if so how do I do it?

No, you don't and you can't do it because iCloud does not offer any web hosting facilities, so if you want to publish your website online, you'll need to go to a web host and register a domain name along with a web hosting account. Take a look at http://www.godaddy.com and http://www.hostexcellence.com. Both these companies offer domain name registration as well as hosting accounts and there are lots of others too.

How to configure internet domain name for P6 website using weblogic

After installing and configuring weblogic for P6 you get the following address https://servername:7002/console/login/LoginForm.jsp to access P6 website. Anyone know how to configure a purchase domain such as www.mydomain.com have it redirect to https://servername:7002/console/login/LoginForm.jsp Is this configured in weblogic server? If not, what is needed to redirect the purchased domain?

HI
You could have that domain resolving to/by some DNS servers and set up a load balancer / proxy to redirect every incoming request to that domain / site to your weblogic console.
however , what is it you are trying to do? It is very unsual of redirecting/ using Domain names to redirect to wls consoles.
could you explain your use case in detail please
