Can BC host an iWeb site

A friend of mine is currently using iWeb for her site and I was wondering if I could take her files and upload them to BC and host it for her there?
Thanks so much!
Annette

Ok, this was a pretty basic site. I don't even think she had a contact form; just a home page, about us, and a couple other pages that had a couple pictures and text.  So maybe that would translate over correctly?  I was doing some research and it looks like in iWeb, when you hit publish it gives you the option of sending it to another host so do you think I might be able to send it to BC? 
Sorry, I'm very new to all this!  I use Muse for my sites but I'm trying to help a friend get her iWeb site back up and running (she took it down a few months ago) without it being too difficult for her.
Thanks so much for any help you can give.

  • Can i host an iweb site elsewhere

    Hello
    i was wondering if i need to have a mobile account to host a iweb website or can i host it elsewhere.
    thanks

    No, you don't need a MobileMe account — you can post your site elsewhere.
    To find out how, in Web, click on the Help menu and choose +iWeb Help+. Then click on +"Publishing and viewing your website"+ and then on +"Publishing to a server or hosting service other than MobileMe"+.

  • Hosting your iWeb site with a third party

    Where is the best place to host my iWeb site so that I can get it indexed by the various search engines? Apparently, .Mac blocks spiders and therefore I cannot get my site to come in search results. Obviously, my primary goal is to have my site prominent on google. I would like to find a host that would submit my sites for me if possible. Thanks.

    .Mac doesn't block spiders. You have to get rid of the iWeb standard navigation and build your own.
    Create a sitemap and upload it to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
    The URL for your sitemap is ...
    http://web.mac.com/username/sitemap.xml
    ... and the URL you submit to Google is ...
    http://web.mac.com/username/
    Rage Sitemap Automator will create the map, upload it and enter it into the four major search engines..

    A more basic, and cheaper, version is iMap...

  • Hosting Your iWeb Site From Your Mac

    If you don't have a .Mac account or you don't want to pay a monthly fee to host your new website you created with iWeb, you can use OS X's built-in Apache Web server. To accomplish this, follow the steps in the link below.

    I was able to get this to work, using the same configuration you mention. The way I did it was to set up the IP address on my LAN using fixed static addresses, and to have the router "forward" the http packets to the Mac running Apache. In Network system preferences panel, you also need to set the DNS servers address to the address of the router on the LAN. In order to reduce hackers trying to break in, I don't use the standard port 80 for my address, but use some other 4-digit port (e.g., 8182), so my website address ends up looking like www.whatever:8182. Instead of "no-IP.com" I used the free dynamic name service from http://www.dyndns.com/. I also put the web content on a firewire disk, which requires a little editing of the httpd.conf file. This was another security precaution. Anyhow, its been working great -- not a single problem. Also, Weblock is great shareware that lets you assign login IDs on the web folders.

  • Can I download an iWeb site so that I can change the html? I need to add a better blog and also some SEO.

    Can I download an iWeb site so that I can change the html? I need to add a better blog and also some SEO.

    Where is your site hosted? If it's hosted on MobileMe you can use SEO to edit the site online.  No need to get it locally.
    If the site is hosted with a 3rd party fpt client then publish your site to a folder on your hard drive, use SEO on it there and then upload the site to your server with a 3rd party ftp client.
    What do you mean "add a better blog"?

  • How can I transfer my iWeb site to iCloud?

    How can I transfer my iWeb site to iCloud?

  • When icloud replaces mobile me, will it stop hosting all iweb sites.

    When icloud replaces mobile me, will it stop hosting all iweb sites.
    If so, what are the millions of iweb users meant to do.
    From the notes I have seen, kindlyt sent out by apple, we need to buy Domain space on servers now.
    Are there any better ways?
    I really hope apple can update iweb, as its an amazing apple app, and if they do it may make the pain fo having to live without mobiel me hosting a bit easier!

    It is now is apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.  iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ RSS Feed Widget
    All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    I would imagine that iWeb and iDVD will be dropped from future boxed versions of iLife if there are boxed versions. However, there may be some copies of the boxed iLife 11 still on the shelves that would include iWeb and iDVD.  Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.

    mashett wrote:

    That's exactly what you would get. Create a folder with a suitable name: publish to it. Zip it; email it. Tell them to start with the 'index.html' file inside the folder. The rest will follow - they will see it exactly as they would see an online site, links and all.
    Note that there is usually a 20MB limit on email attachments so if your site is image-heavy you might have a problem. An alternative is to post it to your webspace - you could post the zipped file and give them a link to it - that will download it (and it's a preferable way of handing a large file anyway, as they can download it at their convenience rather than being forced to in order to get their other mail).

  • How can I make my iWeb site private?

    How can I make my iWeb site private with a password?

    The inbuilt facility to do this disappeared with the demise of MobileMe. It is possible: some ISPs offer this facility (GoDaddy is one) so you should start by checking whether yours does.
    If not, you can do it yourself provided your ISP allows you to add an .htaccess file to your foldere - not all do. Also it's not entirely straighforward if you are unfamiliar with the techniques involved.
    This page describes the method:

    Please note the caveats at the bottom of the page: this isn't a highly secure method and you should not rely on it to protect sensitive information.

  • I can't see my iWeb site on iPage hosting

    I made my site in iWeb after upgrading to LION
    I bought my domain name and published my site to the iPage hosting service
    my site should appear at www.positivelyproudtobeme.com  However, what shows up when I go to that URL is a blank white screen or a redirect page saying the site hasn't been created yet.
    When I log into my ipage account directly, I can see the pages on preview, but can't get them to publish.
    Can anyone help? Please!

    The index.html file you have in your root folder is - more or less - blank. You need to upload a new copy. Try publishing the who;e site again using the iWeb FTP.
    The external index.html file is slightly different to the one inside the website folder.
    Your index.html ...
    <HTML>

  • Living in Brasil can I publish my iWeb site on a foreign hosting site?

    Hello folks,
    I have a web site developed with iWeb and presently published in a hosting site in Brasil, but I am unhappy with such hosting site for several reasons,  the main one is that it doesn't "speak" iWeb  and Apple language, making almost impossible to update my site, but also, their cost and Customer Services aren't good.
    Mobileme ends today and iCloud won't host iWeb sites, so I wonder if other, iWeb friendly sites, not located in Brasil, or even Brazilian ones,  would host my site?
    Thanks in advance   Paulo

    You can host your website with a host from any country. The only thing you may run into may be the added cost of telephone support. Most of the larger webhosts also provide pretty good instant chat or email support. I have not actually had to call my current webhost for any of the minor issues I have ran into. They have been able to solve my issues within quick order via intant chat or email. 
    I have been using IX Webhosting for several years now with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.

  • Hosting an IWeb site... and Other Q's

    Hey all!
    I'm about to start a small business in my town and i've played around with iweb before, and like many of the things you can do with it. I have a couple questions that i hope you guys can help me with...
    1) * Biggest one - Does I web allow you to create a shopping cart and purchasing system for a buyer?
    If So:
    What is a good host to use so that i can create my own domain name?
    How compatible is this host with mac's?
    I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB86uG3HmQk downloaded it and it seems pretty easy. Does anyone have any input on how good it is?
    If Not:
    Can i still use iweb to build a site like this then integrate this part in when i find a good host?
    In your opinion what is the best host to use when waiting to build a site that is retail focused.
    - I haven't been on here in a while, when did everything from .mac switch to mobile me? How is this working for those who use it regularly?
    Lastly - My .Mac or Mobile me account is going to run out in 5 days will i loose access to this site and my email once it does?
    Thank you!!

    You will have to renew to keep your website published and your MobileMe email address.
    MobileMe is not the best solution for publishing. Have a look at ...
    http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebFolderFTP.html
    The author uses Host Excellence for hosting - me too.
    Host Excellence has E commerce available as well as offering web mail and scripts to have feedback forms etc. Form mail will be pretty essential for your website and this cannot be done with MobileMe with out using, and paying for, an external service.
    You will have better performance and reliability with a good web hosting service and they all offer tech support.
    Publishing to a folder and uploading may seem like a lot of extra work but, if you use the best applications, you will find it easy and it also gives you the opportunity to optimize your files. This is essential for any commercial web site as people aren't going to wait for your pages to download.
