Domain registration with godaddy

I just finished my first site that I am gonna be hosting on business catalyst (through my creative cloud subscription).
I registered my domain name with godaddy
But I canot figure out how to point the name to my catalyst site.
Figuring out what settings to modify is confusing me. Not sure where I need to add the ns1.worldsecuresystems.com and so on.
Can someone please assist me with this?
Thanks.

The way I did it is as follows:
Go to:
1. My Account
2. Products.
3. Domains.
3. Press the Launch button associated with the specific domain.
4. Nameservers (8th icon at the top, left to right)
5. Set Nameservers
6. Check "I have specific nameservers for my domains"
7. Replace Nameserver field with BC's namesarver ns1.worldsecuresystems.com and so on.
Hope this helps.

Personal Domain help with GoDaddy

Hi - has anyone performed this with GoDaddy? I don't see where on GoDaddy you actually insert your .mac info as a CName. Is this different than forwarding? Thanks. Also, can you do this for multiple personal domain names?
Steve

This is a helpful thread. I'm just dangerous enough to stumble my way through doing this, but I'm stumped right now with something unclear on GoDaddy's site:
When I go to edit the CNAME record for my domain at GoDaddy, the current settings are:
Host: www
Points To: @
Editing the cname record, I get the following options in the window that pops up:
Enter an Alias Name:
Points to Host Name:
I'm confused about where "web.mac.com" goes.
Do I enter it under "Enter an Alias Name" or "Points to Host Name"?

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.

Problem with iWeb after associating a personal domain name with my MobileMe

I think I did this by the book. I associated my personal domain name with my MobileMe account, then changed the CName pointer at GoDaddy to MobileMe (MM), then went back to MM and hit 'Done'. iWeb now lists my MM account as 'My account name (personal domain name). It took a little while for the DNS pointer to propogate, but now I can go to a browser, type in my personal domain name, and MM delivers my iWeb website as I wanted it to, apparently from my domain, not web.me.com. The problem is, as soon as the DNS propogated, MM delivers my MM site OK, but iWeb can't find the files for it anymore. All my pages immediately went red (unpublished) when I tried to update the site, and any attempt to Publish gives me this error "iWeb couldn’t connect to MobileMe. Make sure your Internet connection works and try again." I'm cable connected to an ADSL router, and Airport connected to a cable router, and neither service has dropped out. I've rebooted, and retried, and the website is up under my own domain, so GoDaddy and MM both got it right. What did I do wrong? Thanks, someone... anyone?

This is now sort of resolved, but not very satisfactorily. One of the trainers at my local Appple Store found an old support issue in the archives going back to 2008, which blamed security settings for update problems. Coincidental with associating MobileMe with my personal domain, I had checked the privacy box and added an ID and PW to the site. That was the problem, not the personal domain, that was preventing iWeb from finding my MM account. Uncheck that box and my site happily updates. Of course, now I have a site that I cannot make private. In this case, not a show-stopper, but disappointing. I have reported it as a bug in the latest version of iWeb. Thanks for your help.

I have a domain name with go-daddy can i use iweb to create my page?

I'm trying to help a friend set-up a website. he has a domain name with go-daddy but hasnt set-up the web page at all can i use iweb and upload it to the domain name he already has bought? I'm a first time iweb user please help!!

Your friend needs both a domain name and a web hosting account in order to get his website online. If he has both with GoDaddy.com then yes, you can create and upload the site.
If he has purchased only a domain name he'll need to get a hosting service.

When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

You cannot retrieve the already published site as iWeb CANNOT open it - it has no import facility.
You need your domain.sites file, which you can find under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. You do not need any kind of account for this because it is your domain.sites file that resides on the hard drive of your Mac anyway. Find this file and you can alter your website.
Use a spotlight search to try and find it and if this does not work you can download something called Find Any File. If you really can't find it, then you'll have to start from scratch because iWeb cannot open a site that is already published.

Domain Registration

I've got a client who has registered his domain name with a domain name registering company.
I've bought some web space to house the website....do I have to contact the domain name registration company and provide them with the server details of where they need to point the domain name or is this something that can be done without their involvement?
Usually I start from fresh, get the webspace and domain name from the same source.

They may say they understand and accept it but are totally oblivious to anything to do with the internet in my experience.....mention a 'farm' and that will just confuse them even further.
I know what youre saying but I like to keep my customers updated at all times and try to give them precise information rather than 'it could be this' or 'it could be' that type of attitude. I really hate that so I try and treat people I do business with how I want to be treated myself.

IWeb hosting with GoDaddy

After messing with GoDaddy's hosting options a bit, I got my iWeb site hosted with the "www" prefix, but I can't for some reason get my site hosted without that prefix. You have to type"www" before the address every time in order to see the site, otherwise it just shows a parked page.
See for yourself:
http://www.usborneartistry.com - should work.
http://usborneartistry.com - never works.
Any help?

Your domainname is usborneartistry.com
Your subdomain is www.usborneartistry.com
That's the one you use for MMe.
All other (sub)domains point to somewhere else.
Read this article how I setup my domain.

Masking with godaddy problem

I am forwarding my domain name from godaddy to my iweb site. And I am masking the iweb site with my domain name, BUT...
When I place the cursor or arrow over a navigation link, it shows my imac address and non-masked link, in the status bar at the bottom of the safari browser window. But when I select each link to a page, the url is my domain name...which is good, but...
Can I mask the navigation link in the status bar? Am I doing something wrong with the godaddy settings?
Thanks,
cj

So, you really can't mask your imac id?
What is your url? What happens if you use something longer like http://www.mydomain.com/Site/Page.html?
(with Site and Page reflecting the names for your site of course)
I think in general the degree of masking you want and get is an issue for you to take up with godaddy and has nothing to do with iWeb or .Mac.

Posting iWeb with Godaddy

Hi I have a Godaddy domain and hosting and I have been using Filezilla to upload my files, which for the most part has worked, but there are a few glitches in uploading that I was hoping to get some answers to. For instance, the shading under my banner appears as a bubble line and most slide show buttons are not functioning. I don't know if this is because iWeb widgets dont want to work with godaddy, or if I am uploading them wrong when I am using filezilla. Any help to how to fix these problems is very much appreciated!
Website can be viewed here for reference: Meggierock.com

As long as you purchased a Linux hosting account from GoDaddy, then there is no problem with GoDaddy hosting at all - it is all compatible and will work.
When things don't work, it often means that certain files have not been uploaded, so I would suggest that you download Cyberduck for free from the internet. It another ftp programme that is easy to use and might be better than the one you are using at the moment.

Personal Domains, MobileMe and GoDaddy

Hi everyone,
I have purchased the domain for my personal Portfolio website through GoDaddy,
I followed the online instructions to add the domain to my Iweb through MobileMe, with it all saved whenever I try going onto my site (OllieHoff.co.uk) it just brings me to the Godaddy website. Anyone know where I have gone wrong?
Thanks!

Well, did you do everything that is needed? It is not only at MobileMe that you need to make changes. These need to be done at GoDaddy too.
Also, you don't add the domain to iWeb - iWeb is just what you use to create the site. You enter the domain name into the personal domain name settings at MobileMe where the site is published.
You then need to log into your account at GoDaddy and go to the DNS settings and you need to set the CNAME to web.me.com and it should then work.
You need to do both because you are effectively linking your domain name at GoDaddy with you website that is published to MobileMe/the Apple servers.

Dreamweaver CS 5.5 not working with Godaddy FTP with TLS/SSL

I've upgraded to CS 5.5 and tried to connect to a client's Godaddy account with FTP with TLS/SSL it fails. Works perfectly with my mac app Transmit every time as it always has. It doesn't work with implicit or explicit settings with authentication set to none or otherwise.
Can someone please let me know if Dreamweaver will ever be compatible with FTP with TLS/SSL and Godaddy? Or is there some setting I can try that will make it work now somehow?
Been waiting years for this....

SnakEyez02 wrote:
First, that's a Godaddy problem if their security isn't up to par.
That may be the case that Godaddy is also at fault, but every other FTP app I use with Godaddy works fine. It's just Dreamweaver and has always been just Dreamweaver not working with a secure connection to Godaddy. Considering Godaddy is the largest webhost in the USA, you'd think Adobe would have fixed this years ago. I should also mention I'm not endorsing Godaddy and I understand there's plenty of people that don't like Godaddy for very good reasons.
Sent you PM with FTP account with Godaddy yesterday. Thank you for taking a look!
UPDATE: Whoops, I see you responded via private message already. I'll paste most of it here in hopes it helps others to understand the issue:
via SnakEyez02 PM:
Ok this took a lot of digging. I won't say it's not a DW issue 100% and I will report a bug for your problem, but DW is not the problem alone Godaddy needs to share the blame here for a bad certificate. Here is what is happening:
I'll start with DW:
- The settings are correct that were in the post. Port 21, FTP explicit, and the authentication should be set to None (encyprtion only). This is where the transmission is encrypted using SSL, but the certificate is shared and not specific to the domain owner. That is the difference between DW's "none" and "trusted". It's a poor choice of words I'll give them that. However, Godaddy seems to want all connections to be trusted thus the other error you get when you turn on the None option. Now could DW do what Transmit does, warn you and write in an unsigned certificate into the Keychain app, probably, is it best practice for security reasons to "Trust" an unsigned certificate probably not.
Now Transmit:
- As explained above Transmit opens up a prompt to override and create a fake-trusted signed certificate. Thus by forcing the OS to think a legitimate certificate is there it gets you through albeit through unconventional methods.
The problem:
- A good portion of this problem lies with Godaddy. Now I use a shared hosting account and set one up on an independant host for a friend of mine and both of them accept the shared certificates (SSL explicit). The difference is the hostname of the certificate. I ran a traceroute (from Network Utility in Utilities folder) on your website and came up with the following address: 173.201.23x.x.
The problem is that the certificate on your server is actually not for that server which is the reason DW seems to have such an issue with it. The SSL certificate that Godaddy put on your shared server is for host - 173.201.19x.5x. As you can see, it's a certificate for another server. Honestly the fact that Panic's Transmit allows this override scares me a little bit and the fact that Godaddy never noticed this issue either scares me to. So while DW could write in a bad certificate I can see why this is happening.
I know there is not much solice in my answer because it still doesn't alleviate the problem that you have with DW connecting. Unfortunately I do not have a workaround despite my numerous attempts to try and gain access over a secure connection. One alternative you could ask Godaddy for in the meantime is an SSH connection which would allow you to use SFTP instead of FTPS. But that's a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
If you think of anything else feel free to bounce any ideas off me I don't mind. Good luck in getting this solved and I will post a bug report to make Adobe aware of the issue.
Thank you for looking into this issue in depth like you have!
I think the issue might be that Godaddy is applying cost saving measures to keep their prices down in the way they implement their certificates (but it also wouldn't surprise me to know it's simply ineptitude on Godaddy's part either). I'm not sure I fault Panic with Transmit much at all because it clearly warns you about the certificate and it's your choice to continue. And, as it stands now, it's much safer to continue to connect that way with Transmit than to stop and connect with no encryption at all at a public hotspot.
As it stands now, you really shouldn't connect to Godaddy with Dreamweaver at a public hotspot unless you set up an SSH tunnel with your connection first. But enabling SSH is an added expense in many ways including paying for the service, using more computer resources for tunneling and time setting it up and implementation... all because Dreamweaver won't just allow developers the option like Transmit does.
Once again, thank you for looking at this and I hope someone at Adobe finally address this issue for the security of its customers who use Godaddy (which is often not their choice and was, instead, the choice of their clients to use Godaddy as a webhost).
Just a side note, I contacted Godaddy support about this several years ago and they were unresponsive and even hostile about it - So that's definitely another vote against Godaddy from me as well.

Is Domain Registration Necessary?

I'm trying to set up a server for a medical lab, which would have three clients. They simply want the server to function as a file server, and to help manage their backup needs. They also want to access the server outside their local network.
I'm thinking that the best way to go would be to set up the server as an Open Directory Master. Since it simplifies DNS, and everything else associated with DNS (right?).
So my question has to do with the need to register a domain for this server. Is it necessary?

Excellent, David. Thank you for your cogent
response.
I have a couple of follow-up questions.
Does Domain Registration bring with it certain
advantages? I suppose it does, if the server will
host web pages for the little group.
If you have any services which you want to make available to the 'public' then it can be beneficial to have your external public DNS to be the same domain as the internal one - but not absolutely necessary.
Mail services - yes. Not only because you want your server hostname to be part of your public domain (but mail services can still run fine without this) but you can then have portable clients get the one mail hostname in their settings: when the laptop is outside the LAN, the hostname resolves to the public WAN IP; when inside LAN, it resolves to the LAN IP.
Web: not necessary. You could have the public DNS pointing to your WAN IP and then just have the website host address in the web-services pane.
The other thing I wonder, if I've been using
testserver.test.com, can I easily change the server's
name, if I want to re-do the server with something
other than a practice name? So far I've set up 1)
DNS, 2) Open Directory, and 3) AFP. In re-doing it,
I guess I would turn off the services for AFP and
Open Directory, and then change the DNS. Then I
would go back through and alter AFP and Open
Directory. Would that be correct?
You can demote from ldap master to standalone (deletes all users in ldap directory), change DNS and IP/hostname using terminal command "changeip", and then promote back to master. Search for 'changeip' both here and in Open Directory forum. HOWEVER, if it is currently just a test installation I would strongly suggest just reinstalling everything and starting again - as well as ensuring everything is 'clean', the repeat of the install will be educational
