Domain Name on iWEB

I have created a website with iweb, then forwarded my domain name, is there any way to keep the domain name in the URL address space rather than it defaulting back to the web.mac address?

You have to turn on domain "masking" via your domain provider.

  • Personal Domain Names in iWeb/MobileMe?

    Why is it that MobileMe will now not accept UK domain names? I have a .co.uk domain name and can no longer use it with the new MMe.
    When I first started to use iWeb and .Mac I purchased a UK domain name and had it entered in the personal domain name section and .Mac accepted it with no problem at all and I had my site redirected using the CNAME option for a long time.
    Now .Mac has become MobileMe, it will no longer accept UK domain names, only domains ending in .com, .net, .org etc. Due to this, I can no longer use the personal domain name option of my MMe account and I did not want to re-direct to my domain using web forwarding so have had to publish my site to a folder and ftp up to my host server space. Now I don't mind doing this, as it does not take that long and the whole site loads more quickly anyway, but I would just like to know why MMe does not now accept UK domain names now when .Mac always used to?
    This is irritating because it means that I am not able to use my MMe account to the full and as I live and work in the UK it did seem more appropriate to purchase a UK domain name rather than a .com or a .net.
    Perhaps Apple should look at this again, as not accepting UK domain names excludes a lot of British users!!

    What the heck is wrong with some people on this site! The guy was simply asking for advice!
    I got a similar snotty reply from someone in a post I made in which I was simply asking for advice from other users.
    I thought this was a SUPPORT Forum? Sheesh!
    Anyway, I am glad that Ethmoid posted about MobileMe and the problem with it and .co.uk domains. I was thinking of signing up to MobileMe and using iWeb for my blog and having it redirected to a .ie domain. But if this problem keeps up then it looks like I won't.
    Happy happy forum!

  • Creating the default personal domain name to iWeb from Wordpress.

    I have a wordpress blog (that I do not want to use) that also serves as the administrator for my domain name and I am trying to get iWeb to be the default home page and not the Wordpress blog. I have changed [edited in Custom DNS Records] the DNS protocol at Wordpress to "CNAME blog web.me.com." and also configured the personal domain in MobileMe to reflect my domain name.
    So far I am not having any success with the online instructions and cannot seem to find any further information on how to make iWeb the home page.
    Am I missing some steps here?
    Anyone have any insight into setting up iWeb with a personal domain, specificially with Wordpress as the domain administrator?
    Thank you!

    The first step is to configure your personal domain name in MobileMe which you have done.
    You then need to go and alter your DNS records and what you want to do is create a new CNAME and direct this to web.me.com and that is it.  Your domain name will be your alias and web.me.com will be your host and as long as your site is published to MobileMe, then your domain name should point to your host at MobileMe.
    I don't know why you have blog in there under your CNAME?  All you need is a new CNAME that points to web.me.com and nothing else and that should work.
    Also, rather than changing back to MobileMe from WordPress, why not invest your time and energies into finding a new and alternative hosting company?  You don't have long with MobileMe and you do realise that it will be gone at the end of June, so perhaps now would be a good time to look at the alternatives?

  • Domain name within iweb & hosting

    *I recently purchased a domain name for a site that I will be working on.*
    *There are two things that I would like to do:*
    *1. Host the web site on my mac which is running OS X 10.5.6*
    *2. Use iWeb '09 to develop the site*
    *I would like to know how to go about hosting the site off my mac without having to run OS X 10.5 server.*
    and
    *How to set my registered domain (.com) address within iweb so when I publish the site it will only contain the domain name of the site in the URL field.*

  • Domain name and iweb not working 100%

    I’m a real novice.I made a site using iweb 09.with a domain name bought from fasthosts.co.uk.I pointed fasthosts at webme.com,but I can only see my site if I type nigeljames.net if I type http://www.nigeljames.net I get nothing,probably something simple but a fundamental flaw for me

    If you have used CNAME forwarding, then you need to go to the DNS settings at fasthosts and point your domain name to @, CNAME forwarded to web.me.com and then www CNAME forwarded to web.me.com and this will then work.
    Normally, you would have to cancel the A settings and then set up two CNAMES, one being your domain name represented by the @ and www, which is your sub domain. Set both up and then forward them to web.me.com, your host being MobileMe.

  • 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

    and this is masking/cloaking

  • Using regular domain names with iweb?

    Is there a way to direct a normal www. domain to an iweb-created web site without putting all the extra .mac stuff in the URL?

    Hi Elmeroguero,
    If you buy a domain name at GoDaddy say elmeroguero.com for 10$/yr you then will be able to access the site you publish on .mac by entering elmeroguero.com.
    EVERYTHING ELSE is business as usual. You publish your website by hitting publish button in iWeb and so on just as you did until now. All your pages are stored on .Mac and so on. The only thing changing is how you can access your website from browser (nevertheless you will also still be able to access your website typing the web.mac.com/username/ address).
    Regards,
    Cédric
    (Difference between WebForward, WebForward with cloaking and CNAME:
    -WebForward: after you typed elmeroguero.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: after you typed elmeroguero.com in the browser elmeroguero.com will display in the browser and don't change while people browse through your website
    -CNAME elmeroguero.com will display instead of web.mac.com/username/ and while browsing through your website it will look like elmeroguero.com/sitename/nameofpagepeoplelookatnow.html)

  • Domain names with iWeb

    I know there has been a lot of discussion on this topic, but I haven't seen anything that answers my more basic questions. I have a .Mac site and would like to give it a personal domain name. I am handy with my .Mac site but know nothing about web pages, domain names etc and how they function (thus the beauty of .Mac that does the work for me). Any help with the following questions would be greatly appreciated. Please keep responses somewhat simple so I can start to understand...
    1- If I register a domain name and forward it to my .mac site, what exactly is happening. For example, if I get a name from xyz.com that offers me a domain name, web space, email etc, and I use this name for my .mac site, is anything actually hosted by the xyz.com site? Make sense? All I want is the name. I don't plan to use any of the other services so I want to buy the smallest package. If this package only offers 75 MB of storage, but my .Mac site has more than that on it currently, will this cause a problem? Or, am I just simply slapping on the name and continuing to use all the .Mac functions regardless of the domain name's restrictions. Hope I was clear...
    2- Where should I get my domain name? GoDaddy, A Small Orange....?
    I guess that is it for now. I really want to know if I will need to change the way I do things, manage storage etc if I get a personal domain name, or is it business as usuall with a new name?
    Thanks in advance for your help. Nick

  • Connecting web domain names with Iweb

    How does one find out who owns a domain name? I think I own the Dispatchtothediaspora.net web site via Register.com Yet when I tried to connect it in the I web it keeps telling me that someone else owns the site. How is this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, rianpk

  • Publish iweb site with out changing domain name?

    When you go to my website (hmstechnology.com) it changes it to this:
    http://hmstechnology.com/hmstechnology/HOME.html
    I was uploading via iWeb. Now I am ready to go back to filezilla so that I can just have my domain name remain hmstechnology.com when people visit.
    Any suggestions on why Filezilla is changing my domain name, or iWeb for that matter? How can I fix this?
    Greatly appreciated,
    Phil

    This is not so much an iWeb problem as a limitation of your server. If you switch to a hosting company that allows you to name your root folder the same as your domain name and you upload the files only, you will get the URL without the extra folder name.
    Having the page name in the URL box is not really a big deal as nobody has to enter it into the browser. If your site is uploaded to a folder named - iberianpigati - and the domain name is pointed at the index.html file inside this folder, all that has to be entered into the browser is...
    iberianpigati.com
    .... for anybody to get to your landing page.
    As has been pointed out, you could forward your domain name using masking/cloaking but this is a very poor choice from the point of view of SEO and bookmarking. If you are more concerned with the look of your individual page URLs than people actually finding your site then masking would be the way to go.

  • Cant change domain name

    I cant seem to get rid of my old domain name in iweb every time i try to visit my new site it always takes me to my old domain and also at the bottom of the iweb page it still lists my old domain in parentheses. I have tried over and over to change domain in my account page at .mac but it will not change the name. I dont understand

    every time i try to visit my new site it always takes me to my old domain and also at the bottom of the iweb page it still lists my old domain in parentheses.
    What is at the bottom of the page doesn't matter, iWeb is still publishing to .Mac and your url is always still http://web.mac.com/username. Also best to avoid the Visit button and just make a bookmark for your url.
    I have tried over and over to change domain in my account page at .mac but it will not change the name.
    Is the old name still there? Can you not make it blank?

  • Removing Personal Domain Name

    I changed the personal Domain Name in iWeb 08 and realized it was entered incorrectly. I've removed the name form the list and my pages and blog still show up at the wrong address. It's been 12 hours. Does anyone know how long it takes or if another step is needed?

    If you have changed it on your .Mac account settings, try publishing and uploading again and see if that does it for you.
    Good luck!
