Hosting other than .Mac?

I'm creating a website for our church and want to use iWeb to create it, but since I'm the only one with an Apple computer, I don't really want to use .Mac to host the site. Is there a host that supports iWeb other than .Mac?

I believe iWeb was developed as a personal web page making tool. If you're doing it for a church, you will probably have to invest in learning how to upload files anyways. You're most likely going to have to learn it in order to teach it. I wish my brother had taught me.
Maybe take a web page building class at the local high school or community college. If you just don't have time to learn it, maybe suggest your church purchase a lower end mac.
I disagree with kakster84.
It doesn't matter that it is for a church, personal, business etc. It only matters what the content will be. I would assume a church website would be more information and images then anything complicated that would require a class or some extra software.
I have build business websites for doctors, actors, ecommerce companies etc and always use iWeb.

What does the fact that it is for a "church" have to do with "investing in learning how to upload files"? Use iWeb, click "Publish" button. Done!
The whole point of a Mac, iWeb and .Mac is that you don't need to take classes. BUT if you can't seem to get started then walk into you local Apple store and ask for some help from an employee. If you must take a "class" then the Apple store provides one on one training for a yearly fee.

Can iWeb be hosted by another site other than .Mac?

I have already purchased a domain name and a hosting agreement with GoDaddy, however I cannot utilize their web page templates for some reason. Another mac user suggested I purchase iWeb and then have GoDaddy host. Can that be easily accomplished?

Yes, it can be easily accomplished. Here's iWeb's Help info on this topic...
Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac:
Instead of publishing your site to .Mac, you can publish your site to a local folder and then upload it to the server or hosting provider of your choice. You may want to use this method if you own a domain name and want to place your site there.
To publish your site to a local destination:
Choose File > Publish to a Folder.
Choose a location to store your site, and then click Choose.
After you publish your site to a folder, you can use an FTP (file transfer protocol) client to upload the site folder and index file to the location of your choice. iWeb does not provide an FTP client, but they are easy to obtain. Some hosting services provide a web-based FTP upload service, or you can download an FTP client from the web. For more information, contact your server administrator.
If you don't publish your site to .Mac, these features are unavailable:
Password protection
Blog comments
Blog search
Hit counter
Enhanced slideshows
Also, for Subscribe buttons to work, you must specify your site's URL in the field provided after you publish to a folder.

Iweb upload to host other than apple

Is this possible? Can I change the settings inside of iweb so that it will upload the site to a different host, other than apple. I'm a dreamweaver user and I have to help out a number of people and they all just got new macbooks. Since it has iweb already, it would be great to use it, but we didn't get the mac accounts. The office did open an independent site with a generic hosting service.
One person says that we can upload the site to the our purchased host through FTP. Sure, but everyone is COMPLETELY computer illiterate. So that isn't a solution. We need something they can just press and it will work. Can I configure iweb to do this. This is a Yes or NO question. I just need to know. I can do the legwork myself, but before I get started down that road, I need to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Otherwise it's dreamweaver.
Thank you. Whoever you are that has the answer.

Whatever happened to helping people to learn or teaching, or has this art suddenly disappeared? I am sure that most people were computer illiterate as you put it before we got our hands on one and were taught or helped to learn how to use it. I know I was. I remember about 16 years ago now, when I was at university, I needed a computer, so I purchased an Amstrad. It was a black and white monitor and had no hard drive, so all work needed to be saved on a floppy disc. This saw me through uni and I then decided to buy my first proper computer which was a Viglen PC. This had an internet connection and I learned how to use this by fiddling myself and reading books and with help from others.
It was not long after this that Apple bought out the first iMacs - the Tangerine iMacs that were 500 Mghz. I bought one of these for my parents as they wanted something simple to use without all the leads and connections that PC's had. I set it up for them and used it myself and was so impressed with it, that I went out and bought one for myself and have never looked back. It ran OS 8, which was quite unstable and kept crashing and freezing all the time. I learned how to use this myself.
Since then, I have graduated to the latest Macs and the latest software, but they are easy to use even for the computer illiterate. Even the computer illiterate can learn if they are taught.
I totally agree with what Roddy has said. How hard can it really be to publish to a folder - this can be done from within iWeb itself, by selecting the Publish to MMe or a folder option? If someone were to set up an ftp client such as Cyberduck for people to use and have all the info needed entered into it, then all they need do is click on upload and select first the site folder and then the index file. Is this really going to be so hard?
Do you really think that using Dreamweaver is going to be easier than using iWeb? If these people are not even able to click on publish to a folder and then upload using Cyberduck themselves, then do you really think that they will be able to use Dreamweaver any better? Dream on then if you think this!!

Is it possible to send messg. to other emails (aol) other than mac. users?

Hi.
I'm a novice mac. user and if it's possible to send messeges (yahoo, aol.etc.) other than mac. users using the Mail? If it's possible I need help--if possible, step by step, to set up my Mail. I appreciate it if you can help me.
Thank you.

Hello Louise.
Yes it is possible but if you have a free Yahoo account, Yahoo prevents accessing a free Yahoo account with any email client like the Mail.app for U.S. residents. If you have a paid Yahoo account which I believe costs only $20/year, you can access the account with the Mail.app and the account settings to set up the account in Mail are provided at Yahoo's website.
If you have an AOL email account, check Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP & Authenticated SMTP An Unofficial Guide and if you are currently using the AOL program to access your AOL account, you can use the AOL Service Assistant.

Will iWeb Allow You to Publish to Places other than .Mac?

I like the functionality of iWeb, but wonder if it would allow me to publish to a site other than .Mac.

Choose Publish to a Folder rather than Publish to .Mac, then use FTP to upload from your local folder to your non-.Mac server.
You need to be aware, though, that you'll lose some of the benefits of .Mac publishing when you do this. Slideshows will be different, password protection won't be available, the hit counter won't work, and Comments and Search which came with version 1.1 won't function.

Denying access from hosts other than localhost

I would like to prohibit access to Directory Server from hosts other than the localhost:
I am doing this from Administration Console. On the server node I set the ACI:
(targetattr = "*")(version 3.0; acl "deny_ip"; deny (all) ip!=dirservhost_ip or ip!=127.0.0.1; )
But the access is still allowed. What is wrong?

Creating a Pocast to be hosted somewhere other than .mac

Anyone had any experience of creating iweb pages with a podcast and hosting on site other than a .mac?
I know I can save the site/podcast to the desktop and then add/upload to an existing website.
When iWeb saves locally it asks for the url for the site.
so for example I might add...
www.mycoolwebsite.com
Is there anything else that needs to be added to this path ... like /podcast?
Should it be saved to its own discrete folder?
Also I guess I will need to create a button within iweb, on the podcast page, to take the user back to the Host home page.
Anyone with any clear advice on how to do this?!!!
It would be nice just to have a link on a page to the RSS feed without having to go to this "bolt on" page.
Hope these Q's make some sense!!!
Any ideas?

I know I can save the site/podcast to the desktop and
then add/upload to an existing website.
Yes.
When iWeb saves locally it asks for the url for the
site.
This is so that the internal links work.
so for example I might add... www.mycoolwebsite.com
Is there anything else that needs to be added to
this path ... like /podcast?
You should have http:// on the front, then the URL for your webspace, whatever that is. If you save the pages to the root level of your webspace, then that will do. You might want to create a folder on the server called podcast, in which case you would need the /podcast, which represents the folder.
Should it be saved to its own discrete folder?
That's up to you: if you are not going to have any other pages then you might as well save to the root level. If you are going to have different sections it would be logical to have folders: but it doesn't really matter as long as the links are correct.
Note that when you upload, you send the contents of the folder you saved to, not the folder itself. Note also that your start page must be called index.html (though iWeb should take care of that).
Also I guess I will need to create a button within
iweb, on the podcast page, to take the user back to
the Host home page.
I don't use iWeb, but it must offer links to the pages within the site and back to the main page.
It would be nice just to have a link on a page to the
RSS feed without having to go to this "bolt on" page.
Note that the link to the rss feed is for programs such as NetNewsWire which are rss readers, don't confuse this with an ordinary web page. You link to the rss page just the same as any web page: http://severname.com/rss.xml or whatever it's called (the extension must be .xml).

Publishing to a server other than .Mac

Does this version make that any easier? I can't find any information on it... I would rather use my FREE Comcast hosted web site than pay for .Mac... Any suggestions?

To be honest, if there is no built in FTP support, which EVERY other web authoring software that I have used includes, then I'll not be bothering with iLife 08. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with Apple's head-in-the-sand mentality, pretending that we all only use .mac. I have 4GB of hosting for several domains with a hosting provider, and I pay for that, and I'd like to be able to simply publish more than one site to that space using the web design tool (i.e. iWeb), not faff about saving to a folder and then using another FTP app.
Before I switched to the Mac I used FrontPage with FPSE on the server. It really was an absolute pleasure publishing my sites, and I paid noting to have FPSE support on my web hosting. I now use RapidWeaver for my websites, but still miss FrontPage publishing, which was great at recovering from publishing errors, unlike all the FTP tools that I've tried. Web creation and publishing on the Mac is far more of a headache and far less enjoyable than it was on Windows XP with FrontPage, that's for sure.

How can I move my web page to a site other than .Mac?

I've been using iWeb to create my school's website and I would like to expand it and move it to a different host under my new domain name. iWeb doesn't have an FTP client, so what options do I have? Can I somehow make iWeb direct my page to my new domain for uploading or would it be easier to start from scratch with some different software. I really like iWeb's flexibilty in creating just what I want. Any advice would be greatly apprecited.

IWeb '08: Can I publish to sites other than .Mac?

I'm new to using a Mac but I was wondering if iWeb can be used to publish to sites hosted by other servers like godaddy or something similar?

Yes. Publish the site to a folder and then upload the files as instructed by the host.

Other than .mac domain name

I'm really new at this folks, so please bear with me. I have a .com domain name and I would like to use iWeb to publish my web page(s), I think. Can I do this? As I said, I'm really new at this and still have a lot to learn about web hosting, (which I'm not even sure what that is yet) and creating my website but hey, you gotta start somewhere right? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. How limited am I if I do end up using iWeb?

Let me try to flesh out some concepts for you...
You need both a domain name and a hosting account to be able to have people type in your domain.com address and see your hosted web pages. So I know you definitely have a domain name. What I am not sure about is whether you have a web host or not. As far as you web host goes, you can host your iWeb designed pages either on .Mac or on a 3rd party web host. The easiest place to find a 3rd party web host would probably be the same company you registered your domain name from.
Of course, things are easiest in the purest Apple sense if you join .Mac for your web hosting needs. Several iWeb features only work if your pages are hosted on .Mac, and of course with .Mac you have the luxury of uploading your pages directly from iWeb.
If you use a 3rd party host, then you can still design your web pages in iWeb, but your publishing option is limited to publishing your entire site to a folder, which then needs to be uploaded via your favorite FTP program to your 3rd party web host. The process isn't difficult once you get the hang of it, but you are required to upload your entire site each and every time you make even a little change (as opposed to just uploading the changes from iWeb directly if you are using .Mac).
So there are slight differences depending on who you choose to host your webpages. Tom has already provided you with tips for 3rd party webhosts. I would highly recommend going with .Mac if you don't already have a web host in mind. The tight integration of .mac with OS X even without iWeb is worth the extra money in my mind.
But you have to make up your own mind. Good luck! And happy iWebbing!

Publish to something other than .mac?

say you dont have .mac, or dont want to use it to publish your iweb page. can you load this onto just about any web hosting company, or is it specifically tied to the .mac ecosystem?

Web host other than BC

Hello,
I have a problem : I already purchase a hosting with another web host than BC. Is there any possibility to associate a BC temporary website to my web host ? I already purchased a domain name with them too.
Thanks for your help
Isabelle

Hi there,
You can not host Business Catalyst on anything else. It is a closed system.
If you mean just the domain name rather then hosting (there is a difference. Think the house is the hosting and the domain is your address.) then you can point your domain to Business Catalyst.
