Can't set up personal domain

I've reviewed the .Mac Help to use my personal domain for my web site, but when I go to my account settings page on the .Mac home page, there is no button that says "Personal Domain"...so I can't complete this step. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

there is no button that says "Personal Domain".
That happens when you are trying to use a trial .Mac account. You need a paid account to have that feature.
However, you can still use ordinary url forwarding, where you type web.mac.com/username into a form at the place where you have your name.

  • How to cancel "set up personal domain"

    Does anyone know how I cancel the "set up personal domain" in iWeb 2.0? I changed my mind halfway through the set-up process (I clicked Personal Domain in my Account Settings, entered my domain name, but haven't defined my CNAME on my registrar's website). Now it looks like I can't access either my iWeb files OR my personal domain name! Thanks for your help!

    Help!
    I am struggling to get my domain name set up.
    Domain: www.west3.org
    .Mac website: http://web.mac.com/mrcommitment/West3_residentsAssociation/Welcome.html
    CNAMe record set up with Dotster as
    web.mac.com.west3.org CNAME www.west3.org
    All is set up as above and I've waited the requisite time, name servers are as required by Dotser
    BUT no access to via personal domain.
    Any advice welcome

  • Do you need .Mac accout to set up personal domain name!?

    i've just bought iLife '08 and i thought you could publish your own websites through iWeb. But so far it looks like i have to pay 60 odd quid on a .Mac account!! what a p* take!!

    The "set up personal domain" is for directing a personal domain name at your .Mac account. This is of no use to you if you are hosting with a commercial service.
    When you host your website on the Apple server with a .Mac account your URL is something like this....
    http://web.mac.com/YourName/YourWebsiteName/PageName.html
    You can register a domain name and direct it at your .Mac account so that the URL is more like...
    http://www.yourname.com/pagename.html
    When you are using a commercial hosting service you register your domain name and instruct the registration company to direct it at your servers IP address.

  • Can I set up personal folders in Mail?

    Can I set up personal folders in mail like I do in yahoo mail or outlook? I have multiple clients at a time and would like to set up folders for each one. I find it irritating to scroll through all the emails looking for what I need.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I set up personal hotspot on iPad 3

    How can I set up personal hotspot on iPad 3, I use 3G services from Etisalat  SIM

    If your carrier supports the personal hotspot on the iPad (and some carriers only support it on the iPhone) then it should appear in Settings > General > Cellular Data > Personal Hotspot - if it doesn't appear then contact your carrier in case they don't support it or it might be an extra fee/subscription with them

  • Quick Question - Setting up Personal Domain with godaddy

    Hi there
    Just a quick question to make sure I've done this correctly?
    Ok, I've published my iWeb website.
    I've purchased a personal domain with godaddy.
    I've set up the personal domain in my mobile me account.
    I then logged into my godaddy account and went to 'Total DNS Control and MX Records'
    I changed the following under CNAME (Aliases)
    www web.me.com 1 Hour
    and then added a new CNAME Record
    www.*******.com web.me.com 1 Hour
    Have I done this all correctly?
    Will it take a few hours to take effect?
    Anything else I need to consider?
    Thanks for reading.
    Ross

    CNAME settings can take up to 24 hours to take effect.
    As long as you have forwarded your domain name to web.me.com, then it should be okay.

  • Can't view my personal domain html hosted on .mac mobleme

    I just set up a mobleme or .mac trial account because I am now using iWeb to redisign my web page. When I publish the site it gives me a message saying I can now view my web page at http://mywebdomain.com but when I click the menu to view it the web browser takes me to the adress but it is the .mac page and it says it doesn't exist. When I check my .mac personal settings the page is listed as my personal domain and the iweb file is listed in my iDisk file menu. so where is my site and how do I fix this problem?

    Okay, so have you entered your domain name into the personal domain setting in your MMe account?
    Have you been to your domain name registrar or hosting company and changed the DNS settings so that you can set-up CNAME to re-direct your domain name to MMe? If not you need to do this before you can view your site. It will be something similar to www, then pick CNAME from a drop down menu or fill in and then web.me.com and CNAME is set. It can take up to 24 hours to take effect though.
    If you have not altered these settings then you need to for your site to be visible. However, you can still view your site by going to web.me.com/username/sitename. All sites can be seen like this even if you have set up a personal domain.

  • Can I make the personal domain go away?!

    Problem: I played with the personal domain thing in the 2.0 phase of iWeb, and decided to wait until the update fixed things. I USED to have my GoDaddy URLS point to each of my various iWeb sites, which they still do. However, when I publish now, iWeb loads to that personal domain, and I can't make it stop. I never changed the CNAME or anything on my GoDaddy site, just went on .Mac to add a personal domain to the list.
    Can I make iWeb STOP trying to load to that personal domain? I deleted it from the .Mac page, but iWeb still shows it at the bottom of the pane as a green dot followed by my email (domain). Now EVERY site loads to that domain, followed by /sitename.
    Old domain: www.swatphysician.com pointed to
    Old iWeb site: http://web.mac.com/macdaddymd/iWeb/swatphysician
    New iWeb is www.swatphysician.com/swatphysician
    I tried republishing the entire thing to .Mac after I deleted that personal domain from .Mac, but it did the same. What I want to do is go back to the old way... use my GoDaddy redirect to point to the various sites by their own personal domain names (www.76whs.com, www.76lancers.com, etc.).
    Can I make iWeb forget it ever heard of my personal domain?!

    I explored the possibility of setting up the personal domain feature, but was unable to get the support needed from my host to ensure that it would function properly. I'm considering simply using web forwarding to send people where they need to go. I added and removed the personal domain information from within my .Mac account and it had nothing to do with iWeb. Maybe I'm clueless on this, but that was my experience.
    Anyone who has previously been pointing to their .Mac iWeb site will discover that all the addresses will change after upgrading to iWeb 2.0.1 version. At least, that was my experience. Blog entries have a completely new method for naming pages (old pages are given new URLs based on the new naming system). The entire site was under an iWeb folder (as you pointed out in your message). The new sites are located directly under your .Mac account name.

  • Set Up Personal Domain

  • Setting Up Personal Domain

    Hi Everyone,
    I wasn't noob at this before, but I guess I fall back into this category. I recently purchased and install Mac OS X 10.5.2 Server, and I am trying to set everything up. I understand most of the basics, but I want to use my personal domain, deviantsynergy.com as the domain on my system. I know I need name servers and such. But I only get a Dynamic IP from my ISP, and I am behind a dlink DIR-625 router. I believe there are some sites that I can use dynamic dns, but I am at a total loss of how to set all this up. I want to be able to host websites, have mail server set up for my collegues, etc. Can someone give me the run down on how to get this all going?
    Thanks!

    First setup a dyndns account.
    For the dynamic IP you could perhaps use a dyndns FQDN as the pointer to your DNS hosting your own domainname, if the domain registrar will allow you.
    deviantsynergy.com NS deviantsynergy.dyndns.org (or some other FQDN using one of dyndns domains)
    To update the account at dyndns with the current dynamic IP either use the router or a dyndns client running on the server.
    Use a static IP for the server on the router/server LAN and forward the ports and protocols you need to it.
    A coule of years back I helped another guy who eventually got this working.
    It might be easier if the router supports NAT loopback and if you have a second internal only domain setup on the server.

  • Set up personal domain - help needed

    I followed the procedure and added my domain, configuring dot mac to use my personal domain. The domain is also correctly listen on the bottom of the iweb page.
    I went to my provider and inserted the requested forward (cname) to web.mac.com
    Now what happens is that if i enter in the browser my domain (www.mydomain.com) the common dot mac page appears: http://www.apple.com/dotmac/
    But not the page i published using iweb.
    When I click "show web site" after publishing in iweb Safari also opens the general doc mac page mantioned above.
    If I click "visit" in iweb i got a wrong address in Safari "http://web.mac.comtestsite/" where "testsite" is the name of my site created in iweb.
    What am i doing wrong?
    Using Tiger 10.4.11
    Thanks

    Setting up CNAME does not happen instantly. It can take up to 24 hours or longer, depending on your hosting service.

  • Setting up personal domains

    How do I add a personal domain name that I bought from GoDaddy to my mobileme account to use with iWeb?

    Start by reading some manuals.
    You publish to MobileMe. With or without a domainname.
    To use your domainname, follow the instruction in your MobileMe account where you setup Personal Domain.
    https://secure.me.com/account/
    where you find a link to iWeb: [Using your own domain name|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1107]
    Or read it in [the MobileMe help|http://help.apple.com/mac/1/help> : Account > Setting up a Personal Domain
