Forwarding domain name

Hello, I´m new at uploading web sites, I already finished mine in iWeb08, I also have my domain name and hosting with startlogic. Can someone help me by explaining in baby steps how can my www domain name be redirected.
I´ve tried the search function, but haven´t been lucky so far. I don´t wanna get a .mac account just yet, considering I already paid for the service elsewhere.
I really appreciate any help.
Best regards, Lorena

There is nothing to redirect if you have your domain name and hosting at the same place. You upload your site to your host and it has your domain name automatically.
You would only need to redirect if you had your name at startlogic but your site at .Mac or some other server.
Here are some tips for uploading your iWeb site to host other than .Mac:

Forwarding domain name w/ Mecca Hosting

Has anyone used Mecca Hosting? I have my domain name with them, but I can't figure out how to forward my .Mac site to my domain name (or the other way around, I'm not sure). I'm very new to this, so any help is appreciated!

I e-mailed them my URL and asked them how they can forward it to my domain name, and here's what they said:
"This is something that is typically done as a temporary measure. A forward would mean that your site would have to rely on 2 hosting services in order to function correctly. In addition, the search engines do not follow these forwards and would not find your website. We can setup a forward for you, but it is not recommended if you wish to use your own domain. "
And then again, this:
"We're not saying that we cannot do it; what we're saying that what you wish to do is not advisable. Your visitors would first be directed to your web server with us and would request to download a web page; our server would them provide them with a web page that tells them to go to another site; the visitor's web browser would then connect to your website on your .Mac account.
As you can imagine, not only is this very slow, but it is also not as reliable. If one of the 2 providers has a problem, your site will not be displayed; so, you're always dependent on both providers to have a functional website.
Finally, the search engines ignore these types of forwards, so the website would never be found by search engines.
In any case, if you really wish to do this, we can go ahead and do it for you. You would not need the web hosting services that you have purchased, as they would not be used to do a URL forward. "
Any thoughts, those of you who understand all this? Thanks in advance for your time.

Forwarding domain names and Google Ad sense

OK, community: I have decided to finally create a site, using iWeb, and want to have th iWeb URL forwarded, if that is the correct word, to another URL that is easier to remember. I also wish to eventually use Google's ad program. I know these topics have been answered, but can any the experts here condense and post a concise primer for both these tasks?
Happy New Year!

for domain forwarding (which is your www.domain.com which is easy to remember TO .mac) comes with you buying your domain. they offer a so called domain forwarding. you just enter the forwarded address (.mac) and finished.

Update iTunes Feed w/Domain Name

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the web address for my podcast in my RSS feed to iTunes? The feed was approved and while waiting for them to show up in the store, I looked at the link. When I click on the website link, it takes me to my long iWeb/.Mac url instead of my forwarded domain name. Is this possible to update?

In your feed's XML file towards the top, there is a line that says <link> that has a URL. You can put just about any web address in there...that will be the link that iTunes will send people when they click on "website" on the podcast's iTunes podcast directory page.

With MobileMe Closed: How to forward iweb "web.me..." address to new FTP site and custom domain name?

I had a mobile me "web.me.com..." domain name and know I need to upload to a new FTP site with a new domain. I know how to do that but am wondering...
Is there a way to forward my old web.me address to the new domain? I'll probably be using GoDaddy's or 1&1 domain hosting.
There are many people who have my old web.me address and I won't be able to tell them the new address. I don't want them to go away if they see the "mobile me closed" page and don't know where my new site is at. I just want it to automatically forward.
thanks

Its too late to do that as the forward would need to be on the Apple server and its closed now.
The best you can do is to sign up for hosting and get a domain name...

Help:Domain name forwarding to .mac URL

Experts - newbie here - used iweb and built my site. Forwarded my domain name to the .mac URL and everytime I try to access the domain name I get a .mac screen that says my .mac iweb site does not exist. Seemed all rather simple with point and click so now what? Thanks

everytime I try to access the domain name I get a
.mac screen that says my .mac iweb site does not
exist.
Most likely you made an error in the url. If you would provide the two urls someone could probably help you fix it, otherwise it's pretty impossible.

Still having problems forwarding a domain name to my iWeb site

I'm still having some issues linking another domain name I own to my existing iWeb site. I forwarded the other domain through my GoDaddy account, but when I try it with www in front of the forwarding name, it directs me to my MobileMe home page. Without typing in the www, the forwarding works just fine.
I must be doing something wrong, but not sure where to adjust things.
Thanks,
Steve Pressman

Steve,
It sounds like your CNAME may not be set up properly. You'll want to make sure your CNAME www is forwarding to @ which will be the host where the domain is forwarding currently without the www. Here is a link with some instructions (see the section on "Adding or Editing CNAME Records": http://x.co/RBCW

HELP: is it possible to have my own domain name forward to a .mac/iwebblog?

Just got a macbook pro last week. brand new to this/have no idea what i'm doing. want to get my own domain name. is it possible to buy a domain name ie
'Testing123.Com' and have it so that when i publish my blog on my .mac/iweb account, the domain name forwards/links to the .mac blog?
in other words, the .mac/iweb blog address is too long/convoluted...i want something catchier. so is it possible? please advise...would be eternally grateful. thanks so much,
Emily

Emily:
Yes, you can purchase a domain name and have it forwarded to your iWeb produced site. You'll need to buy the name first. GoDaddy.com seems to be a very popular site to purchase domain names.

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times. I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Linc Davis,
I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account. I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa. I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync". I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP? I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
Thanks

Domain Name Forward and CNAME difference?

I changed my Domain Name Forward for my Yahoo! domain to web.mac.com/toff and it now forwards. What does changing the CNAME in addition to that do?

You do one or the other, not both.
The difference is what appears in the browser address bar. CNAME gives you www.mysite.com/sitename/pagename.html. Domain forward gives you web.mac.com/username/sitename/pagename.html or, with masking, www.mysite.com (for every page).

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:

Running 'ifconfig | grep netmask | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk {'print $2'}L' gives:

Checking http://switch.richard5.net/2006/08/19/fatal-open-lock-file-pidmasterpid/ and running 'launchctl list' gives me a long list but no item matches org.postfix.master
Running 'ps aux|grep postfix' gives

I have not idea what the problem is and/or how to fix it. I know the messages get to the postfix daemon but for some reason they do not continue on their way.
Please, does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

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.

Same internal and external domain names - AGAIN!

Hi all-
Like many of you, I am confronting the problem of having the same FQDN for both my Active Directory domain and Internet domain. For the sake of discussion, let's call the domain rlh.com.
I need to access an externally-hosted website on the rlh.com domain. The site is coded exclusively to use rlh.com and NOT
www.rlh.com. Therefore, the old trick of adding a static www A record on my internal DNS server will not work.
It looks like another option is to install IIS on my DC and then configure some type of forwarding to the external site. While this might work, frankly, I don't want IIS on my DC. It's a DC, not a web server.
Yet a third option, correct me if I'm wrong, looks to be using some type of "split DNS." Though I have not read the particulars (yet) of this solution, I am suspicious of it causing DNS inefficiencies.
All of these solutions look to me to be workarounds. I am preparing to install a new DC (upgrading from 2003 to 2008 R2) and want to FIX the problem, not work around it. That said, it looks like I have two options:
1. Rename my existing 2003 AD domain using rendom
2. Install the new 2008 R2 DC with the new domain name, setup domain trust between the old and new domains, and then use ADMT.
Can someone please comment on my logic here? Does anyone have experience with both of the two options? Is one less painful than the other?
As I preparatory step, I have migrated from my onsite Exchange 2003 server to Office 365. Exchange is no longer present in my organization, though some slight "remnants" may remain in Active Directory. Other than Exchange, I have a
Hyper-V host, 2 SQL Servers, and 3 RDS servers present in my environment.
Thanks.

I realized this was answered, but I would like to add the following comprehensive blog on this subject.

DNS - Can't resolve website address because it is the same as domain name:

Our internal users can't resolve a web address because their domain name is the same as the address. I'm hoping I can get some advice on what I should do on the DNS server. My first challenge is, when I look-up address on Arin.net it does not
come up with anything. CUAMERICA.COM is the domain. I don't even know the ip address it is resolving to.

If I ping www.cuamerica.com I get 38.108.184.171, so in your DNS, in the Forward Lookup Zone for CUAMERICA.COM create a new Host (A) record, call it
www and give it the IP address of 38.108.184.171
