Domain Name Hosting

I have Snow Leopard Server hosting a website. The server name is "mail.domain.com.us", but I need my website to be translated to "domain.com.us". I configured Web - Sites - Aliases and added domain.com.us but it does not work, when I open safari https://mail.domain.com.us is ok but when open https://domain.com.us it does not work as all.
Anyone to help me on this?
Regards

  • Domain name/host name/external hosts

    I have an external website, for argument sake: waterworld.net
    I want to host the mail internally, and i have set up DNS records with my name registrar that has the A record point to my external web host, and I have created an MX record of "mail.waterworld.net" which points to the ip address of where I am hosting the mail server.
    Should i give my server a name that looks like a fqdn based on my website? or should it be called something simple like "server.loc"? currently, that is what I have done.
    Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
    server.loc
    waterworld.net, or
    mail.waterworld.net
    Then the next option, Hostname, I am guessing that is one of:
    waterworld.net, or
    mail.waterworld.net
    I have done a search, and the closest I have found was this post, but it's a different question based around a similar situation.

    I am not a total newbie, and have been running my own mail server for a few years now, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do it correct last time, so thought I would try and get it right from the start this time. Sorry guys, if this is a really basic question, but I want to get this right.
    thanks

    Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
    [snip]
    This field sets the primary domain of the server - the domain it accepts mail for. in this case it would make sense to set 'waterworld.net'.
    Then the next option, Hostname,
    This sets the name it advertises itself as when sending outgoing mail. This should be mail.waterworld.net.

  • Domain Name & Hosting the Website

    I have made a website for an event I am planning in March. Is there a place on Apple where I can purchase my domain name and host it there? or should I be using another place? I need it to be as cheap as possible...but still be a good place for hosting my website.
    Ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Is there a place on Apple where I can purchase my domain name and host it there?
    No. Apple only provides hosting via MobileMe. If you want to purchase a domain name then go to a domain name provider like HostExcellence.com or GoDaddy.com. Both offer domain names and hosting services if you'd like to keep them all together.
    If you host on MMe these AD topics and Apple documents will give you info on how to set it up:

  • Free domain name hosting

    Does Icloud offer a free domain name, and a url

    iCloud does not provide web hosting services, and email is [email protected] If you want your own domain name you will have to obtain it from a domain name provider. This is never going to be free because a regitstration fee has to be paid (usually biannually) to the central domain name registry as well as to the provide handling your domain name, but it's not particularly expensive

  • Lists: domain name host name?

    In the 'General' tab of the Mail service window in Server Admin I've got the following:
    Domain name: subdomain.mydomain.com
    Host name: mail.mydomain.com
    So my e-mail addresses like [email protected] work fine. But what's weird is that when I'm creating mailing lists , the internal users get added to it like this: [email protected]!? Why is it that? Why don't they get added with [email protected]?
    Because the problem is if they send something to the list, it gets denied because the mailing list considers them non-members!
    Any ideas what the problem could be and how to correct that?
    Thanks.

    All,
    From the Mail Service PDF Manual;
    "Adding a Subscriber to an Existing List
    This is the same procedure as adding a user to a newly created list.
    To add a subscriber to an existing list:
    1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
    2 Click Settings.
    3 Select the Lists tab.
    4 Select the List to which you want to add a subscriber.
    5 Click the Add button under the Members pane.
    6 Enter the recipient’s email address.
    The email address must match the return address of the recipient to post messages
    without administrator approval.
    If a user was added via the “Users and Groups” button, the email address in the list will
    be in the form of “[email protected]”. If necessary, change the email address in
    the mailing lists panel of Server Admin to match the return address used by the client.
    7 Assign the subscriber privileges.
    8 Click OK."
    In other words, click in the user's email field and edit the address to suit - by default Mailman treats the list as belonging to the machine's host name, not to the email domain/sub-domain, which is the most logical since you could have multiple domains/sub-domains configured.

  • Domain Name, Host Name and VPN help

    When I connect to my office VPN and try to ssh to one the machine I always have to put domain name, for example:
    ssh -X snorlax.xx.yy.com
    Recently my office changed their VPN settings and this started happening. Earlier I was able to just use snorlax instead of typing snorlax.xx.yy.com
    My mail client has also stopped working from home saying same thing: host cannot be resolved .
    I was reading online about domain name but I'm not too sure how does this work.
    Is it possible to append xx.yy.com before host name before resolving?
    Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
    Thank you!
    Shivam

    You could also directly assign the IP to the hostname and skip the dns lookup if you add it to /etc/hosts.
    If you need more fine-grained control over hostname resolution you can use a local dns server like dnsmasq, bind (named), pdnsd, or unbound

  • 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.

  • Yahoo domain name hosted by .mac account

    I have the domain www.innocentsurfschool.com which I bought through yahoo. I have followed the steps for using a "personal domain" with iWeb. i.e I have gone to my yahoo "advanced DNS settings" and changed the "CNAME." I have put this info in these fields:
    A Record innocentsurfschool.com Yahoo! IP Address
    A Record www.innocentsurfschool.com Yahoo! IP Address
    CNAME Record *.innocentsurfschool.com web.mac.com
    CNAME Record mail.innocentsurfschool.com web.mac.com
    The problem is that iWeb publishes to:
    http://web.mac.com/innocentsurfschool/InnocentSurfSchool/Home.html
    when I type in
    www.innocentsurfschool.com
    I am taken to the old (not up to date) version of the site. How do I fix this?
    The weird thing is that when I click on "visit site" in iWeb, it takes me to the old version of the site at www.innocentsurfschool.com. I am not sure why this happens or if it is relevant?

    Can anyone give me a little bit more clarity on this subject? I'm trying to get my iweb site published to my personal domain site of rivergolf.com that is registered with Yahoo! Not sure what to enter as the "source" and "destination" when editing the CNAME and A record entries.

  • How do I use my own domain name  with Mac server with iWeb

    For a number of years I have had my own domain name that when typed into a browser it would redirect the browser to my site on the .Mac server.

    Thanks. I really appreciate the help I get from this forum.

    It's very easy, really. You go to your domain control and redirect the address. IPower, for example points the domain name very easily: you just type in the URL of your site and it will point to your mac server.
    I've used GoDaddy before and it is a bit more difficult to "point".

    Hi
    This is something that is done by your domain name host, so login to their site.
    Search for domain name forwarding, or domain forwarding.
    Here you enter the address that you wish to forward to.
    The short address for an iWeb page on .mac is:
    http://web.mac.com/YourUserName
    If you have more than one site and wish to forward to a specific one, then you can use:

  • Postfix relay=none, ... status=deferred (Host or domain name not found...

    Hi,
    I actually posted this question 2 weeks ago but under the wrong topic. So, first of all wanted to apologise for double-posting... but since no one replied, I thought I'd try again under the right topic.
    I've been trying to solve this all day today (that was Feb 26th). I used to be able to send emails but for some reason it does not work anymore. At first I thought it was a problem with php (I use entropy pack php 5.2.6) but after searching the topic, I think it is a problem with my network. BTW OS is 10.5.5 and Postfix version 2.4.3
    First of all, after computer restart, I don't think postfix starts automatically
    Running 'sudo postfix start' gives me:

    Dynamic IP addresses with DynDNS Updater (or equivalent) makes it pretty darned reliable, particularly if you buy DynDNS' Mailhop Forward service, which prevents the likes of roadrunner.com and aol.com from blocking mail coming from your server just because it lives in dynamicIP-land. Way cheaper than paying your ISP extra for a static IPA, too, and totally acceptable for low-volume, residential-based servers for personal not-for-profit use.
    Regarding reliable delivery to a dynIPA server, you are only at risk of non-receipt for perhaps a few minutes immediately following when your ISP rotates your WAN IPA, until DynDNS Updater (or equivalent) updates the DynDNS (or equivalent) servers with your new WAN IPA. But that's really not a problem because I think all, well, okay, most, smtp servers will queue for a redelivery attempt if the initial delivery attempt just happens to occur at that time.
    I wouldn't suggest this practice for high-volume enterprise-class servers or for people trying to run a bootleg mail server business for profit (besides, the ISP would shut it down as an abuse of terms of service, anyways), but for low-volume, residential-based servers for personal use and enjoyment, which I suspect is the case for the O.P., I can't say that I find anything unreliable about my dynamic IP-based mail server.

  • 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.

  • Can you host multiple domain names on mobile me with iWeb '09?

    Hi
    Can anyone help, before I upgrade to iLife '09, I have a personal web domain name which I host on my mobileme account. My girlfriend now wants a website and I have bought her a domain name and want to use iWeb to design it but I can't seem to host multiple domains on iWeb '08, can you with iLife '09? Or will she have to buy her own mobile me account? Any help will be great!!!
    Thanks

    MobileMe -MME -is Apple's hosting service.
    Domain Name System - DNS translates an understandable address like www.mywebsite.com into the IP address which is a number like 40:75:92:301.
    Cname is a name of record in a database that records what domain name goes to what IP address.
    IP address is just a unique number that identifies any device connected to the internet.
    An FTP client is an application the uploads your files to a server using File Transfer Protocol.
    I mainly use Web Site Maestro because it doesn't just upload the files but optimizes them first to remove all the unnecessary code that iWeb creates to allow your website to download at least 30% faster.
    I also use Yummy FTP for sorting out and keeping track of my files on the server and uploading folders of images and music files along with their assets for flash presentations.
    I have used Host Excellence for years because of the way they allow you to name your own root folder on the server and also their great tech support.
    FTP and servers can be a bit confusing but, if you have a good hosting company, you can get by on very little knowledge and understanding. I do!
    I couldn't agree more with you about the acronyms and jargon. The more people use them usually means the less they know. One of the most misused words is "domain". I tried to sort that one out here...

  • How to confiture virtual hosts with multiple domain names

    hello,
    I've read through some of the postings here on virtual hosts, but I thought I'd better solicit advice before I actually try some of the things I've read about.
    In a nutshell, I've purchased multiple domain names that I'd like to alias to a new site (currently it is just a subfolder in the main site directory) on my OS 10.3.x server. There is only the one main site configured right now on the box, so I know I need to set up a second "virtual site" pointing to the files in this subfolder to make it function as its own site.
    I've dabbled around with the sites settings in the GUI, but I'd probably be most comfortable setting all this up in the httpd.conf by hand if I could. But I'm weary of this because I know it might be better to use the GUI because of OS X Server's flavor of WebObjects and Apache (sigh).
    So, I have two main questions:
    1) How would I set up this second site using the GUI in server settings? Do I need to first move the subfolder out of the main folder before it can be designated its own site? Or can I just point to it in the GUI? Can I use one of my purchased domain names in the domain field?
    2) Currently, I have URL Forwarding set with my multiple domain names, but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do this? For SEO I'd rather use some type of redirect rather than being penalized by search engines for having what looks to be multiple domains pointing to the same site.I'm thinking I should create virtual sites for each domain name I've purchased with a hard redirect back to the main site?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    thank you for your reply.
    > You can create each site as a new Site in Server
    Admin. When you do this you can choose any
    directory on disk as the document root for each
    site.This means you can move the sites' folders out of
    /Library/WebServer/Documents if you like - you could
    create /Library/WebServer/site1,
    /Library/WebServer/site2, etc. (or even be outside of
    /Library/WebServer if you want).
    so, are you are saying that I could designate one site to be
    /Library/WebServer/Documents/site1
    and another to be
    /Library/WebServer/Documents/site1/directory1
    even though directory1 is contained within site1's structure? I'm not advancing this as a good idea, necessarily. I'm just wondering if Apache would complain.
    > Each site should have the domain name set as per your
    registered domains. Apache will need this to
    determine the correct site to serve for each
    request.
    Well, after some additional research I'm thinking I'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle. That being access to the DNS host server that manages the context of my server. I have purchased domain names through an outside registrar that point to my site and I can create virtual hosts on my server, but I don't have the ability to add the new virtual host names into the DNS server that manages my box. If that makes sense. Or maybe I'm missing something?
    >
    I'm not sure why you're using URL forwarding at all.
    Without that piece of information it's impossible to
    tell you whether you should continue using them or
    not - in general there's no need to use URL
    forwarding if you have multiple Virtual Hosts setup,
    but it sounds like you have multiple hostnames
    pointing to the same content, so your needs may be
    different.
    I'm using forwarding for the reason I list above. I didn't purchase hosting with the registrar where I purchased my domain names, so they are parked on the registrar's name server with URL forwarding to my server. The DNS server that manages my box resides in a different location and I don't have the ability to add DNS entries pointing to virtual hosts that I want to set up. Am I stuck?
