How to publish custom web site with own domain name?

Hey out there. I wonder if anyone can give me any tips on how to publish a web site with my own domain name.
I have a web site I'm building and I want to purchase a domain name and then publish the site using that domain name.
I know how to buy a domain name. I have a .mac account so I'm hoping that .mac can host the site. What I don't quite understand how to do is get .mac to host the site using that domain name. I looked through Apple Support but couldn't find what I was looking for. Just wondering if anyone has been in this situation. Thanks in advance.

Dave ~ Welcome to the discussions. .Mac was re-branded as MobileMe last July. If you're not building your site with iWeb, it's considered to be a "custom" website. These Apple docs may help:
MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
iWeb ’08: Using your own domain name
...Use this search page to find such documents:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
Note that you don't need to have iLife '08 to be able to direct your domain name to your custom website published to MobileMe. As someone wrote on another thread:
"My personal domain is linked to my MM but i don't even have ilife on my mac. When you go to the options in MM to link your personal domain to your MM it provides directions that will guide you with setting up your godaddy settings."
...Where "MM" is MobileMe here:
http://me.com/account
...+Personal Domain+ tab, and "godaddy" is wherever your domain name is registered.

  • Multiple Web Sites with Personal Domain Names - Overview

    I have read through the last 10 pages of these discussions and have almost worked this out, but I need some help.
    Problem:
    I want to publish and edit two separate web sites with their own, individual, personal web addresses
    from the same user account on the same Mac using iWeb '08 (2.0.2) and my .Mac account
    _So far:_
    I have purchased and registered the two domain names (with Cheap-DomainRegistration.com)
    I have configured the CNAME to point to web.mac.com, and "Set up a Personal Domain" in iWeb successfully, but using a separate Mac for each web site.
    The two sites work great.
    _What (I think) I need to know:_
    (excuse me for copying these posts out, but I can't find a way to link them to this post)
    1) Should I be using iWebSites as suggested by Old Toad (posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    2) Should I be using Mireille's approach (also posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
    Yes you are correct in the thought that with a family pack you can use different accounts and that is the easiest way to upload with one click to .mac. But it is still possible to publish differents sites to one .mac account if that is all one has. Even if the sites are in one domain file each purchased mysite.com domain name purchased can be pointed to a different page in the site
    Look at it this way
    Original Poster has
    site1 page 1 page 2 and so on
    then he/she has brothersite page 1 and so on.
    They each have a domain name purchase wherever
    then site1domain.com is forwarded to site 1 page1
    and brotherdomain.com is forwarded to brothersite page 1.
    Even though both sites are in the same file they do not have anything to do with each other.
    This is one possibility there are others but for a novice user this could be the way to go for simplicity.
    (Mireille, if you're there, can you clarify what you said - thank you)
    3) Would I use Roddy's fix (posted Jan 23 in response to canadensis' "Publishing Multiple Websites?")?
    Here's an example of how you can separate two websites that are on the same domain file.
    Quit iWeb
    Create a new folder on your desktop and call it "iWeb Sites".
    Inside this folder create two more - Website A, Website B.
    Go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and copy your domain file - command C
    Paste this into folders A and B - command V - and also paste a copy of it somewhere else - like in Docs - in case you make a mistake!
    Double click the domain file in the folder Website A - this will launch iWeb.
    In the left column, delete site B, save and quit iWeb.
    Double click the domain file in the folder Website B to launch iWeb.
    Delete website A, save and quit.
    Drop the iWeb sites folder into your Home Folder.
    If you want quick access to this folder you can highlight it and do command L to create an alias to leave on the desktop.
    From now on, to launch any site in iWeb you open its folder in the iWebsites folder and double click the domain file.
    This is not necessary when you are working on only one site as iWeb saves the domain file of the last site you were working on to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb. When you open the iWeb application, the last site you worked on will be launched.
    Summary:
    I'm not sure if some of the answers in previous discussions allow for personal domain names, which is what I need.
    I would be very grateful for any suggestions as I'm getting bogged down.
    Many Thanks,
    Jeff

    When you said, "you don't need to do CNAME for both sites…", would this method still allow me to use personal web addresses for both sites?
    Yes. With "Ordinary Forwarding" you normally just type your .Mac url (web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place where you have your name.
    I thought I was using 'web.mac.com' as the 'www' CNAME (alias) for my personal domain name (web address), so that when someone typed in my personal domain name they would 'go' to the domain registration location, which would then pass it on to the .Mac server, where my web site is hosted.
    That's exactly right. It's just not the only way to do that. Ordinary Forwarding is another way, but it differs in terms of what appears in the address bar of the browser. Either you will see web.mac.com/username/.... or, if you add "masking", you will see your personal name for all pages. The CNAME method results in a address bar that reads www.myname.com/sitename/pagename.html.
    Am I way off?
    All help gratefully received,
    Jeff

  • How to publcish new Muse Site with existing domain name

    We've created a new site in MUSE and we are ready for it to go live via BC. can we just use the same domain name of our existing site that is hosted by others? Will it replace it? Or do I have to cancel my existing hosting service first?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    You may create site using Muse, have the Muse project published to Business catalyst.Once done, have the site launched as either free site you get or as paid one based on you requirements.
    Once the site is launched, you may have the domain added to the site via site settings > site domains > new domain.
    When you add the domain you have two options :
    1. Use our DNS service
    2. Use External DNS service
    Based of your requirement , you will need to add the domain and have the domain redirected to Business catalyst where the site is now hosted.
    As far your existing site is concerned, you may want to keep it until the muse site is ready and published to business catalyst. However, once you are ready and domain is redirected , you may cancel your subscription with third party hosting service .
    You may find some links listed below helpful ( are related to process explained above) :

  • Published my project to my own domain name, go to domain name- site Parked

    Hi,
    I went and published a web site to www.patstrip.com. Had no problem the first time.. I added a page and published again and went to the website and it tooko me to godaddy and said the site is "parked". when iweb published and asked me if I wanted to "Visit the site" it couldn't get me there either. I eventually found it under http://www.patstrip.com/Pats_Trip/Home.html, BUT when it publishes and says to "visit" the site it takes me to http://www.patstrip.com/Life's_HiLights/Home.html I am currently also working on another project to upload through an FTP to another website for my business. That project is called "Life's Hi-Lights" but I am not touching that project when publishing. Like I said I can find the site this other way, but I want to tell people to go to www.patstrip.com but it's not working. Please help.

    It is iweb '09.
    Lastly, what makes it very confusing to NOT be able to upload to more than one domain name, in the Iweb help section, it says that you can.. And I'll quote the help part of iweb..
    "If you have more than one website, you publish each one separately, to whichever host you want. This means you can publish some sites to MobileMe and others to a different hosting service using FTP. There are no restrictions."
    So, very misleading, makes it sound like you can upload to more than one domain name... "You can publish SOME sites to mobile me.. No restrictions"
    Unless I can change the upload domain name in mobile me set up and then publish to that domain name, and then switch it every time i publish, OR will that terminate the page I'm on because there is no host?????

  • Multipul iweb sites   problem with own domain name

    hello all
    i have currently 2 iweb sites (my own personal one with my own personal domain) and another site which has a podcast for my self and flat mates
    the problem comes in this.
    if i want to subscribe the podcast to itunes it trys to send it as www.garethmob.co.uk/flat6_band ect where the actuall band website does not sit on my own personal website
    is there any way i can fix this by having the origional web.me.com/garethmob ect for one of the websites and the garethmob.co.uk for the other?
    both are on my mobile me account
    thanks for any help in advance
    Gareth

    If you have more than on site on your iDisk and go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites, you will see that you have two website folders but only one index.html file.
    If the domain name www.garethmob.co.uk (Site 1) is directed at that index.html file then that's the one that must exist in the Web/Sites folder.
    When you upload another site (Site 2), its index.html file overwrites the existing one and the URL is then directed to the wrong site.
    When you upload changes to the site with the MobileMe URL (Site 2), you must then upload a copy of the index.html file for the other site (Site 1) after doing this.
    You can do this by publishing your Site 1 to a local folder and then put the index.html file inside a folder and trash the rest.
    After you have uploaded changes to Site 2, go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and upload a copy of the index.html file for Site 1 by drag and drop.

  • Creating multiple web sites for separate domain names

    Is it possible to create a different web site using a different web address in IWeb 06? A friend asked me to make a web site for them....can/how do I publish it to a different address?
    Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The best way is to have a separate domain name for each site you want to manage. When you publish the sites each will have a separate URL. It will be:
    http://web.mac.com/your .Mac account name/the site folder name/index.html
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • How does work Azure web sites with custom domain?

    I am new in Azure. I am going to create a website or cloud service in Azure. Then I would like client to access them from custom domain, such as myweb.mydomain.com actually will map to real site/service in Azure.
    In this case, will client see the real URL in browser? Or they can see this redirection from their network traffic monitoring?
    I wonder their IT may only allow user access *.mydomain.com and block any traffic to third party DNS.

    Hi
    Your Azure website in terms of hosting web apps is just like other web hosting services so when you register a tenant and add a domain, you need to verify that domain by setting the DNS for the tenant you created to your domain's admin control panel.
    Here is the reference on how you can do this:

  • Viewing web sites with Adobe Flash contents

    How can I view web sites with adobe Flash player plugin for safari on iPad?

    Sorry, you can't.
    Thoughts on Flash
    But a lot of sites are converting to HTML5 and there are other options.
    Examples from Steve's link above, "YouTube, with an estimated 40% of the web’s video, shines in an app bundled on all Apple mobile devices, with the iPad offering perhaps the best YouTube discovery and viewing experience ever. Add to this video from Vimeo, Netflix, Facebook, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, NPR, Time, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, People, National Geographic, and many, many others."

  • Forward web site with e mail

    Can anyone tell me how to forward a web site with verizon e mail without typing out the address, if I go to file, send, page by e mail is grayed out.

    Triple click in the address bar (the http address) of the browser window with the site whose link you want to pass along is open.  This should highlight the entire URL string.  Select Edit -> Copy from the menu on the browser (or hold down the "Ctrl" key and press the letter "C").   Then in the mail window click on the spot where you want to insert the URL link in your message and select Edit -> Paste from that browser window or hold down the "Ctrl" key and hit the letter "V".

  • When logging onto a web site with a log on name firefox is changing logon name from Kostas to kostas as the site is case sensitive it is not acceptable. how do I correct this? Thanks

    I registered with a web site and used the name Kostas as the log on name. Entered a question and recieved replies
    When I later tried to log onto the web site to say thankyou ,and enter Kostas in the log on box a reminder appears created by Firefox of kostas, I ignore this, move to the password box and firefox changes the log on name to kostas with small k. The register is case sensitive so for quite a while I could not understand what was going wrong? I eventually managed to log on by using a rival system
    My previous experience is that if you use a different log on name it is recorded and then you choose the correct one to use? But in this case I am given no choice
    How can I correct this please
    Probably no connection but
    I registerd with another site and recieved an e-mail in which I had to click on web address to confirm registration and came up with an error message, tried a few times and same thing happened?? The webmaster of this site had no record of my registration details?
    Finally I had a phone call from a company called NERD-I.com
    offering to solve various computor problems at a fee. I did not take up their offer, but hope they do not have anything to do with my current problems??
    Many thanks

    Hi Corel
    Thank you for your reply
    However I need the lower case version for some sites and the upper case version for the site in question? To make matters worse this site does not allow you to change your log on name unless it is in the form of an e-mail address
    So what I need is Kostas for this site and kostas saved for other sites and allow me to choose which one I want to use
    How do I do this please
    I have no bother with this on Win Internet Explorer but I like Firefox
    Mind it may be as simple as deleting The appropriate entry and resetting with Kostas instead of kostas?
    But I would appreciate knowing the correct solution from an expert

    I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
    Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
    and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector.  It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....
