How to publish to .Mac instead of personal domain

Hello All,
I'm making a website for a course I am on, and the first idea was to post the site onto the domain of another guy in course. So I followed the Mac instructions and now every time I want to publish it goes to the outside website instead of my .Mac account. How do I change things so that the site publishes to my .Mac account instead of the external one? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Walt

Lori,
I tried that, but it still loads to AP278.com instead of my .Mac. I'm trying to put my http://web.mac.com/username account, I'll see if that works. In the meantime, any other suggestions?

How to publish changes when using a personal domain

Hi,
I am about to publish my first website using MobileMe but with a personal domain.
I have learned how to publish the site for the first time using File>Set up personal domain but what do I use when I want to publish any changes ?
Do I use the File>Publish to MobileMe option or some other method ?
Thank you

Yes. You can read more about using personal domains with iWeb here.

Publish to .mac with an existing domain name

I was wondering if anyone has published to .mac with and existing domain and kept it. I have had my business under this domain name for 15 years and do not want to change it at this time.
Thanks

I believe the issue is solved as the domain now points correctly to BC servers , it was probably a propagation delay.
Thanks,

Publishing iWeb Site on a Personal Domain

Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble publishing my site to a personal domain. I am using iWeb 08 and am publishing via MobileMe and domains.com is my host. For some reason, I just can't get the site to publish on my personal domain. My personal domain is registered on MobileMe and the CNAME is programmed into the domains.com DNS management area. What's going on that's not allowing it to appear?? The site is just blank...please help!

Works fine for me too, but not if you place the www before your domain name. If you want this too, you may need to go back to your DNS settings and set up a new CNAME for your domain name that includes the www part too, but only if you want to.

How to publish to .mac without using iWeb?

I have made my website at home and published to a folder on my portable HD. I'm now away from my home Mac, and, as seen in a thread below, I can't reopen in iWeb at work to publish to .mac.
How do I 'publish' to .mac? - is it as simple as copying the Sites folder to my iDisk? If I enter my iWeb URL will it link up with the iWeb pages/files I have uploaded to iDisk?
As you can tell I'm not a web designer!
Thanks in advance, Lee.

Ah, so regarding the previous thread about editing
published iWeb websites, you could theoretically keep
backups of the respective data files with their
websites?
Yes. And you should always keep such backups if you want to avoid having to recreate everything when something goes wrong.
I presume when the data file is replaced in the
Library the application opens up in that website,
rather then offering a choice of new templates?
That's what should happen, yes.

How do I publish from iWeb to my personal domain

Can someone tell me the exact steps I have to take to modify iWeb to publish my albums to my Personl domain. I found some instaruction about going to my domain cPanel and adding a new CNAME. The problem is that it asks for a NAME and a CNAME and I don't know what to put there. Now do I know to modify iWeb to replce the std "gallery.me.com" I don't know what to change that too.
My cPanel asks for...
Add a CNAME Record
Name:
CNAME:
If my domanname is www.peter.com, what do I use in the name field ? What should the CNAME be also ?
This is supposed to, after correcting iWeb, allow and iWeb publish to my personal domain.
Can anyone help me withthis?
TIA,
Peter

Your original post did not in fact state anywhere that you had a MobileMe account.
Also, you seem to be getting a little confused here with terminology which does make a difference.
Rather than a domain, what you in fact have is a domain name that is registered through hostpapa.com - it is not hosted as you say, but registered with them.
Also, iWeb will not and does not 'publish directly to your own domain'. iWeb cannot publish to a domain name or anything - you need a hosting account to be able to publish a website - do you have this? If not, then you will need to purcahse hosting too.
So, if you want to publish your site directly to hostpapa instead of MobileMe, then CNAME is NOT involved in this at all - you DON'T need it. CNAME is only a method of forwarding that you would use to forward your domain name to web.me.com when published on MobileMe. If you do not want to use MobileMe any longer, then you don't need this.
So you say that you have registered a domain name with hostpapa? Do you also have a hosting account with them too if they provide hosting? If not, then you need to purcahse a hosting account from either them or some other company that provides hosting.
When you have your hosting account and assuming that you are using iWeb 09, open iWeb and then click on your site name and your publishing options with become available in the drop down menu - rather than picking publish to MobileMe, select the publish to ftp option instead and fill in your details such as ftp name, username and password and then upload your site after testing your connection.
If you are using iWeb 08, then you'll need to publish to a local folder and use Cyberduck or Yummy ftp etc to upload your site to your server instead.
CNAME is not involved and if you purcahse hosting from another company other than hostpapa, then you will probably have to alter your nameservers so that they point to where your site is now hosted.
If you want to ditch MobileMe, then you don't need to use CNAME at all - it just isn't involved here.

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.

.mac Hosting and Personal domain

Any help?
I bought a domain name from a registar in Greece and signed up for Google Apps.
The @mydomain.co.gr woks with google mail and I want to keep it like this.
Do I have to buy additional hosting services to be able to publish my site at .mac using www.mydomain.co.gr.
Will my site be at web.mac.com or it must be hosted somewhere else an redirected to .mac?

Chuck, you wrote that "all you should have to do is point the domain name to the .mac address." Can you please explain how? I have been on phone support and email contact with Apple and NOBODY knows how to do this! I kid you not. There are articles on How To but it doesn't work for me. My website does not publish to my personal domain name on iWeb and .mac, despite following the procedural instructions from Apple.
At this point, my website is "published" to mac.com/myusername, but NOT to my personal domain name.
Thanks for any suggestions you can give.

.Mac site to personal domain

Hi all,
does any of you know how is it possible that a .Mac site is transferred to a personal domain? It's not redirected: both sites are identical.
See here
h**p://web.mac.com/uomoragno/blog/spider-mac/spider-mac.html
And here
h**p://www.spider-mac.com/blog/spider-mac/spider-mac.html
Thanks.
--Antonio

You don't have to transfer anything.
With a Personal Domain your pages are stil on MMe. You have to add a CNAME at your registrar.
Go to your MME account and click Personal domain.
https://secure.me.com/account/
Then click +Find a Help topic+. Then click Account.
If on the other hand you mean to host your webpages at some provider, then you have to publish to a folder and upload the folder to that host.

Can I see how many people have visisted my MobileMe Personal Domain

How to publish outside .mac

I've already created one personal webpage using iWeb, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Now I'd like to spruce up a webpage that is not a .mac page, its actually under a public university domain (.edu) - I know there are some code/passwords I need to get to even publish there to begin with, but I'm just wondering what the process is from iWeb to publish somewhere besides .mac. How does that work? Obviously I can't click publish at the bottom of the iWeb interface.....I'm also seeing a lot of people struggling to have two separate webpages, any suggestions to keep things working smooth?

Pretty simple, although there is a downside of not having .mac as your server...
Anyway, simply Publish to a folder (any folder will do, although you can use User/Sites if you want to keep it simple) - then you can just drag the contents of the folder you've published to onto an FTP server via your favorite client. I would recommend Transmit, if you're not using it already...

From .Mac Trial to Personal Domain.

Guys,
I started publishing my website to a .Mac Trial Account while I was preparing my own domain. No that I bought my own address, I want to move my site to another host, how can I do it?
Thanks.
JP

Is that host your other (not dotMac) domain?
If so, publish to a folder and upload that folder to the server.

Subscribe button and personal domain name

Hi,
Is the subscribe button on my podcast page still supposed to work if I publish to .mac using my personal domain name? It doesn't seem to work for my pages. Here are two pages where the subscribe button is invalid:
http://web.mac.com/SHIRTLESS/POETRY/POETRY_PODCASTS/Archive.html
http://web.mac.com/SHIRTLESS/POETRY/POETRYPODCASTS/POETRYPODCASTS.html
If anyone can solve this problem, many thanks.
regards,
shirtless

Yes, because you are publishing to .Mac and just forwarding to a personal domain. Some things don't work when you use ftp to publish directly.
Have you made sure that all the correct boxes are checked inside the Inspector in iWeb that are relevant to the podcast page?

How to Publish to a personal domain AND .Mac?

I had a working iWeb site published to web.mac and it working fine. I added a new site in iWeb08 and set up a personal domain. When I selected the new site and published, BOTH my old site and the new one published to my personal domain. How do I tell iWeb08 to publish one site to a personal domain and another site to .Mac (.Me)?

This post is a little confusing. Do you have two sites hosted at MMe or not?
Do you mean that you used to host your business site and MMe and have now switched to uploading directly to your web host using ftp? If you have, then you can of course delete this site from your iDisk/MMe account, because if you have uploaded directly, then MMe has nothing to do with your domain name any more.
If you have not done this and you are hosting both your sites on your MMe account via either CNAME or web forwarding, then no, you can't delete that site because if you do, there is nowhere to forward to.
Password protection will not affect any other sites that you have. Just go into iWeb and set this up and then re-publish and it will just affect that site that you set it up for. Nothing else.

Publishing to a personal domain on .Mac with iWeb08 feature?

I was wondering if anyone could answer a simple question for me. I have a a website I created on iWeb08 and I publish to .Mac. I also have my own domain registered at GoDaddy.com that we call www.mydomainexample.com for ease.
Is there a difference between having GoDaddy forward to my domain name with masking versus having using the iWeb08 feature to publish to a personal domain on .Mac?
Currently if my friends go to www.mydomainexample.com they get my website and no matter where they browse on the site the URL stays www.mydomainexample.com. Is that the same that would happen with publishing to a personal domain on .Mac through iWeb08? Or would it say (again as an example) www.mydomainexample.com/welcome or ..../album or .../blog etc?
Thanks

So basically publishing to a personal domain on .Mac would remove the portion of the URL that says it is a .Mac account?
So instead of:
http://web.mac.com/macidname/sitename/Welcome.html
If I published to a personal domain on .Mac it would read this:
http://www.mydomainexample.com/sitename/Welcome.html
So it would at least give me a little privacy and get rid of my .Mac ID in the URL I guess.
The way I have it now with forwarding and masking every page just comes up as:
http://www.mydomainexample.com
which is fine but does not allow someone to go to one of the individual pages directly, only the main page I guess
A side question would be then that I thought I heard that if you maintain 2 sites you can't publish to 2 personal domains on .Mac correct? Only one? If that is true can I publish one site to a personal domain and then leave the other forwarded and masked through my domain manager the way I have it already?
Thanks again
