Do I need to register a domain name?

Hi,
I'm new to iWeb and have a simple question. Do I need to register my website's name or do I just type it in during the "Publish" stage?
Thanks,
Andrew

You don't need to register your site name. If you want a domain name like www.mydomainname.com, then you'll have to purchase it and forward it to your site wherever it may be hosted. Where are you publishing to? If you're publishing to MobileMe there's nothing to do in iWeb but click use the File->Publish Entire Site or Publish Site Changes menu option.
If you're publishing to a 3rd party hosting service you will need to put in the relevant site and server information for that host.

I have registered 2 domain names . can I have more then one domain name on mobile me or icloud?

MobileMe ends here at the end of the month so you will need to look into hosting your website/websites with another webhosting service.
I personally use IX Webhosting for a couple of reasons:
Fast reliable personal tech support by phone, instant chat, & email
They allow unlimited domains "www.yoursite.com", unlimited email accounts, unlimited bandwidth
And, price they are very reasonable plans start @ $3.95 USD a month

Need to see the domain name displayed at the admin console login page

I used to see the domain name at the console login page until I was running WLS 8.1 SP3.
Now that I have SP5 I am not able to see it anymore, I am curious to know what has caused this error.
If anyone has an answer , please reply .

Hi,
For accessing any application outside domain you need to have Public IP of the server where your you have put your application.

Registering a domain name with google

I have created a website on iweb and use iweb to update the site.
I have my own doamain name www.anthonyheller.com and it is linked via CNAME to my iweb site.
My question is when I registered with google, should I use my personal domain name or did you use the iweb.me.com? I am hoping it will work with my personal domain name (obviously)
What I'm trying to ask is if I put the google verification code, sitemap file and a robot.txt file under iweb servers, can I register anthonyheller.com with google and all will be good?
Alternatively I would have to put those files where anthonyheller.com is hosted, which is not really being hosted, just acting as a re-direct.
I hope someone can answer this.
Thanks a lot.

You use "web.me.com" and that will let your domain name point to the site in your MobileMe account. This document explains much of it: MobileMe Account Help

I need to know the domain names of the update servers so I can exclude them from outgoing content filtering appliances at my site

We use a Bluecoat device that must be authenticated on a time schedule, before a user can browse off site. This breaks the updater on Firefox if the end user has not yet authenticated.
I can add the Firefox update servers or domains to an exclusion list so the Bluecoat will not interfere. I need to know those names.
I did some network sniffing and noticed aus2-mozilla-org.geo.mozilla.com but I assume there are more.

Maybe it would be easier to setup a local update server.<br />

Change hostname to registered DNS domain name in URL

Hi all,
We have just new install of IAS 1.0.2.1
Now server is responding on the hostname fe: http://myserver. We have registered name of the domain fe. www.ourdomain.com and we want to apply it for our application server.
I know that I have to change httpd.conf file. What are next steps?
Thanks Marcin

Marcin,
Run the ssodatan script from the OS command line to associate your new domain with the portal and login server. Too see the paramaters/options required by ssodatan, run ssodatan without any options. A slightly more detailed explanation of ssodatan is in the Oracle Portal Configuration Guide.

Need help isolating specific domain name extensions when validating emails

Dear fellow Java developers:
I am trying to write an application in Java using regexp in order to validate a form where a user submits their name, along with their email address. One thing I need to do as part of this application is isolate email addresses with certain extensions. For example, I would like to be able to test to see if a users email address has the top level domain extension ".ca", or has a second level domain extension of the form ".on.ca", ".co.uk", or ".org.uk", etc. Which means that if a user submits an email address that ends in .ca, or .on.ca, the block of code would be able to pick it out by checking against a predetermined regexp, and I would like the regexp to be able to check email addresses that contain a top level extension only(e.g. .ca), or addresses that contain a second level country code extension (e.g. .co.uk).
I tried using the following regexp in my java code, but for some reason, it is not working:
^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.(?:[A-Z]{2}|com|org|net|gov|mil|biz|info|mobil|name|aero|jobs|museum)$
Like the above example, I would like a regexp that would allow me to specify the particular domain extensions that I am looking for ONLY, instead of being a generic one that allows all valid email addresses to pass through.
I have attached my java code that I am using at the moment below. For some reason, when I submit a command line argument of "[email protected]", I am always getting an output of "[email protected] is valid ? false" . Why is that? I can't figure this out, and would appreciate any help on this. I hope this question is clear to everyone.
Thanks in advance to all who reply.
package com.email;
public class Email {
         * @param args
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if( args.length == 0 ) {
                      System.err.println( "Usage: Email [...]" );
                      System.exit( 99 );
                for( int i = 0; i < args.length; i++ ) {
                        try {
                                System.out.println( args[i] + " is valid ? " + emailVerify( args[i] ));
                        catch( Exception e ) {
                                System.out.println(args[i] + " : " + e.getMessage());
        public static boolean emailVerify(String email){
                String regexp = "^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.(?:[A-Za-z]{2}|ca|uk|au)$]";
       if (email != null) {
            return email.matches(regexp);
       } else return false;
}

I wouldn't bother with a regex, but I guess ymmv. I think this is much easier to read and understand:
private final boolean isInValidDomain(final String emailAddress) {
    if (emailAddress.endsWith(".ca")) return true;
    if (emailAddress.endsWith(".on.ca")) return true;
    // etc...
    return false;
}Depending on the number of tests and how often you'll change, you may want to put them in a Database/File and read them into a collection to iterate over.

Does it matter who i use to register a domain name?

thanks.

Creating website with 3rd party server using blogspot or wordpress's domain name?

Hi all!
I just wonder...
I am now offered a free hosting service and I want to create my personal site with iWeb.
Questions come:
I don't really wish to buy a domain since the free service only last for half a year and I just want to try out blogging...
Is it possible for me to use create a iWeb made site using blogspot or wordpress domain and 3rd party hosting service?
Thanks in advance. Coz i really have no experience on this

The short answer is no. WordPress and Blogspot are two totally different things and are blogging systems and you can use these for free, but what you do is create a username and your blog is then pubished to WordPress servers etc., so your blog url is then http://username.wordpress.com.
If you want to create a site with iWeb and avail yourself of free hosting and upload there, then you'll need to register a domain name.
Wordpress, iWeb and Blogspot are totally different and the only way in which you can use both is to create your site in iWeb and then upload to the free hosting and just create a link from your iWeb site to your blog created with either WordPress or Blogspot.

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.

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.

Domain name, host name - what goes where?

So to clear the pipeline and reduce the amount of configuration, I decided to get rid of my router and plug my server directly into the modem, thus using the server as the gateway/router for other computers in my home. Hopefully this will eliminate the need for an internal/private network DNS configuration as well as an external/public DNS configuration.
I have a registered public domain name of N.com and an associated public MX record for this domain which is also named N.com (as opposed to mail.N.com or something similar).
I reinstalled the Leopard Server software and when the setup asked for a "primary DNS name" I named it N.com (the same name as my registered public domain). I went into firewall settings in the Server Admin and "allowed"/opened port 25 as well as 80 for email and web services respectively.
When I looked in the Mail settings the default domain name is "localdomain" and the default hostname is N.com (the same as my registered public domain). Default user addresses are [email protected] I have no problem seeing the server's webpages from the internet, but I still cannot get any mail from the internet to show up in my user accounts.
What more do I need to do?

an educated guess-
does the client's email system have something like Spam
Assassin filtering
incoming mail?
is this cgi script matt wright's formmail?
If yes to both- Spam Assassin is rating the formmail
generated email as spam
based on the subject line and default first line of text in
the message
body.
A fix-
1) hand edit the formmail script, find and change:
Below is the result of your feedback form
to any other text
2) use the optional field to change the subject line from the
default.

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!
John

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

Domain Name & Email Options

Setting up my first site in 20 years and going through the domain name registration. I have an existing site (not Muse) that's running just fine but I'm adding on a new site and hoping to use Muse and possibly Business Catalyst.
My question is probably basic, but since I haven't done this in so long, I need to know what the options are now.
First of all, does it make a difference where I register a new domain name? Anything I should be aware of or look out for? From what I understand so far, it's better to register the name separately rather than together with a hosting company in case you want to move to a different hosting company at some point.
Secondly, do I need to 'add-on' email when registering the domain name, or is that done through the website's hosting company? And/or, how does this work through Muse and Business Catalyst?

Hey Mike,
Good to hear you're getting back into the design game
You actually have a few options here. If you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, Adobe will actually host up to 5 webBasic sites for free. So basically, you would just have to purchase the Domain Name from some place like GoDaddy and then you could actually publish to Adobe's servers, and the hosted is included in your monthly subscription. I believe you just have to log into your Business Catalyst Partner Portal and assign a new domain name to the site you created.
However, a few things I want to make clear about the webBasics sites. These are the most basic Business Catalyst site that you can get, hence why they host them for free. This does not include any type of WordPress-esque blog, or E-mail Marketing, or a customer database of any kind. I think that with the webMarketing plan you can get the blog and the email marketing campaigns, but there's extra monthly costs.
webBasics is great if you are creating a static site that's not going to change very often, like for an Air Conditioning company or something, or even a portfolio that you might just add to every once in a while. Just don't want you to expect a WordPress-type blog, because that's not what these are.
Strangely enough, Muse and Business Catalyst are only loosely related at this point in time (supposed to change in the future). It is possible to integrate, say, a webMarketing site with Adobe Muse, which I have done in the past, but it's not "easy", relative to Muse. You have to know some CSS/HTML/a little PHP to get it to work.
Lastly, when you get your domain name, be sure to check out a site like RetailMeNot.com for any coupon codes. I got my domain for $1.99.
Hope this helps!
