CLARIFICATION RE: 2 DOMAIN names - ONE website

I want 2 personal domain names to access ONE website? How do I set that up? My domain registry has pointed both of the domain names to "web.me.com", but only one of them is accepted by MobileME.

You can only have one personal domain name option for every MobileMe account, so yes, your first domain name will be set-up with the CNAME option that is forwarded to web.me.com.
For the second site, you will need to use web forwarding, so you need to contact your domain registrar and have them point your second domain name to web.me.com/username/sitename. So the CNAME is pointing to web.me.com because you have entered the personal domain, therefore, the web forwarding needs to point to the same iWeb site, but using web.me.com/username/site name and both domain should then point to your one iWeb site.

Multiple domain names for iWeb on .mac account

I've managed to get the iWeb site I created uploaded onto a domain name i created (eg www.abc123.com). I had to change the domain name on my .mac account. The thing is it only allows you to enter 1 domain name. Now I have purchased 3 domain names, one for myself, one for my business and one for my mothers business. Is there a way round this because at the moment I can't get round it. Thanks.

Hi Ben,
If using .Mac hosting and other hostings as well you can have multiple domains pointed to different sites so that each site will have yourdomain.com. However on .Mac you can have only one CNAME, the other personal domains should be WebForward or WebForward with cloaking.
- WebForward: after you typed yourdomain.com in the browser you get forwarded to web.mac.com/username/ and web.mac.com/username/ will display in the browser
- WebForward with Cloaking (also called masking): after you typed yourdomain.com in the browser yourdomain.com will display in the browser and don't change while people browse through your website
- CNAME yourdomain.com will display instead of web.mac.com/username/ and while browsing through your website it will look like yourdomain.com/sitename/nameofpagepeoplelookatnow.html
If you're using Godaddy this is how to setup WebForwarding

Migrating domain name to Business Catalyst

After playing with Muse for a while I am looking to publish my site shortly. My current hosting package is up in January so would like to move over to Business Catalyst rather than renew that if possible.
Current hosting comes with free email addresses associated with the domain name, one of which is printed on my business card. Is there a way to keep and migrate this or do I need to lose it and reprint cards with an updated address?

You have a couple options. Since you used Muse I will guess you are thinking on using your free hosting.
The free hosting is very basic and does not have email support. You will still need to keep your domain registered with where ever it is now. Adobe doesn't host domain names.
So what you need to do after you go live is to:
Either upgrade it to a paid site and you can set the DNS at your current registerar to ns1.worldsecuresystems.com and ns2.worldsecuresystems.com
or
Just direct the A record in your domain settings where you have your domain to 192.150.2.140 and leave the MX record (email) with your current host.

When you host a website with business catalyst do you get a domain name with it or do you have to buy one separately?

When you host a website with business catalyst do you get your own domain name with it or do you have to buy one separately?

Hi there,
You need to get a domain yourself.

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")

I want more than one site, all with personal domain names

I have a dot mac account and I created a personal website using iweb (www.personalname.com) and now I would like to make a site for my business using iweb (www.businessname.com). Is that even possible? I've followed directions from other people. i know that I need to go into iweb and under file click new site and choose the templates and so on. But once I do all of that, I click publish and a box comes up and says this new site will now be published under your www.personalname.com.
Am I missing something, or do I have to buy a completely new dot mac account for my business? Someone please help and walk me through this.
Thanks a bunch!

As Wyodor suggested have your domain name provider activate domain name forwarding for the second site. You'll need to open that site in your browser and get the actual URL to give the provider for forwarding.
To make it easier to edit and publish individual sites I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
If you expect a lot of traffic to your business site you might want to consider having it hosted on a commercial hosting site that will not be bogged down with all of the bells and whistles that the MobileMe servers are in order to provide all of the special features. A commercial server will be faster and more reliable. Depending on where you purchase your business domain name you can host it on their servers.

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.

Multiple domains names and web sites with only one SLS and one static IP

I tried to find a post on this topic but I still can't find what needs to be done.
SLS is configured for one domain with one web site and it's working well. We will call it domain1.com. Here is the config:
Static IP: 69.x.x.x
DNS setting under Server Admin:
hostname: server.domain1.com
Two DNS entries under domain1.com with:
www - alias - server.domain1.com
server - Machine - 10.0.1.x (fixe IP for server on LAN)
Web settings under Server Admin:
server.domain1.com - 10.0.1.x - Port 80
Domain1.com is managed with DynDNS Custom DNS Service with 1 record:
domain1.com - A-record - 69.x.x.x
I want to host a second domain (for a website) called domain2.com. It's also registred at DynDNS and I have custom DNS setting to configure.
What's need to be done to have both domains with seperate web site on SLS under DNS and Web settings (beside the fact that I will have 2 different folders with the website files in it). I understand that I will need a new entry in the DNS for the new domain (domain2.com) and also an entry in the Web Service pane. But what are the details.
Thanks.

When you said, "you don't need to do CNAME for both sites…", would this method still allow me to use personal web addresses for both sites?
Yes. With "Ordinary Forwarding" you normally just type your .Mac url (web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place where you have your name.
I thought I was using 'web.mac.com' as the 'www' CNAME (alias) for my personal domain name (web address), so that when someone typed in my personal domain name they would 'go' to the domain registration location, which would then pass it on to the .Mac server, where my web site is hosted.
That's exactly right. It's just not the only way to do that. Ordinary Forwarding is another way, but it differs in terms of what appears in the address bar of the browser. Either you will see web.mac.com/username/.... or, if you add "masking", you will see your personal name for all pages. The CNAME method results in a address bar that reads www.myname.com/sitename/pagename.html.
Am I way off?
All help gratefully received,

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.

Iweb website wont go on domain name

i purchased a domain name from network solutions, and made my iweb website, which i will be hosting with mpbileme.
i then changed the CNAME (alias) to web.me.com on www, and followed all the instructions, howevermy website has not been uploaded to the domain name i paid for. It is, however on my mobileme web adress.
any help please?
what am i doing wrong?

I am confused too. The question I want to ask is:
1. Why when you have uploaded your website directly to your server using ftp are you also publishing to MobileMe and using CNAME forwarding too? You do not need to do both.
2. Also, as you have already found out, your blog comments will not work and neither will the MME page counter if you upload to an external server. However, there are third party workarounds such as http://www.hitcounter.com and also using a Wordpress blog instead and linking to it from your site. If you have hosting at Network Solutions, then you can probably install Wordpress directly and can set up your blog like this.
3. When I used MobileMe and used CNAME what I had to do at my domain name registrar was delete the A records completely. There are normally two A records, one with www, A record and then the IP address that points to your server and then @, A record with an IP address that points to your server. What I had to do was to delete the A records completely and then enter www, then CNAME from a drop down box and web.me.com into where the IP address was. I then entered @, CNAME from the drop down menu and then web.me.com where the IP address was. Try and have a look and see if you can do this.
http://domain.com is your actual domain name with http://www.domain.com being a sub domain. That is why you need to enter both www and @ when you set up a new CNAME - www represents the sub domain with @ being the shortened domain name itself.
If Network Solutions have told you to enter web instead of www, then try this, but you still need to alter the IP address that is there and enter web.me.com in its place or the domain name will not be forwarded.
You also need to do the same for the @, so do this and then forward this to web.me.com.
Your problem with using CNAME is that you have a conflict in that you have uploaded your site to the server as well as trying to forward your domain name to MobileMe - you can use one or the other but you can't have both. Preferably, I would delete your site from your server and just use CNAME forwarding to MobileMe if you want the Blog and hit counter to work correctly.

New website domain name, how to redirect?

It appears when you rename your website pages a 301 redirect will redirect to the new pages without losing your ranking in the SERPS. However, a new website registered under a new domain name with more or less the same content creates new challenges. Is it enough to redirect the old domain name(s) to the new one using the C-Panel (and what exactly takes place when you do this?) or is there another solution? Until I find one, I am invisible to the search engines...

Joomla's default of index.php is only that way if you do not have mod rewrite enabled in the configuration meaning that you are on a windows server without access. If so you would need to make the IIS modification which it sounds like you have not done.
http://docs.joomla.org/Enabling_Search_Engine_Friendly_%28SEF%29_URLs
SH404SEF is only $40 and I don't care for the ".html" at the end of the file. I would remove that from their rewriting. Just not the best practice to rewrite files that way. Also the Google API just makes it easier to add in analytics, otherwise you have to add it into your template manually. Or it does the sitemap which you can do for free online at places like ( http://www.xml-sitemaps.com). Honestly if $40 is out of the budget I'd do the best you can with a free option.
I have been using a site recently with JoomSEF which is a similar paid extension. Honestly neither is as powerful as Drupal's pathauto which is free, but that seems to be the Joomla model.

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!

Why are you using a single labeled domain? I would recommend renaming the domain name to be something like domain.com.
Please refer to the articles below to fix your current issue:

When trying to access one website, Firefox says " This domain is not configured for this service. Please add it to your account."

I am trying to access a fabric website I have used before and when I try to type in the domain name, a message appears saying "This domain is not configured for this service. Please add it to your account". How do I fix this?

That message sounds like an address might have changed on the server...
Are you trying to access the site directly using a bookmarks, or by typing into the address bar, or by following a link in a search engine? Sometimes links change making bookmarks and search engine entries obsolete, or Firefox's autofill feature suggests an address that no longer works, so if one approach doesn't work, you might try one of the others.
