How to Undo Personal Domain?

Just playing around I selected File > Set Up Personal Domain and clicked through a couple of screens at the .Mac web site...enough to enter the address of a domain I have. I didn't go past Step 2 or so, because I was just curious; I didn't really want to set this up.
Now, however, whenever when I update my .Mac site and click Visit Site, I am either taken to the home page of my personal domain or to a page that tells me the page at that site does not exist.
How do I undo this? Help, please!

Login to your .Mac account at...

Go to "Account Settings" and click the "Personal Domain" radio button.

Is there a limit to how many MS personalized domains you can have under one live account?

Microsoft personalized domain names for anywhere access
I have setup two separate essentials servers “anywhere Access” using my own Live ID account.
Server1.remotewebaccess.com and server2.remotewebaccess.com Both work perfectly.

How does 1Web Personal Domain really work with MobileMe?

I'm reading the steps of iMap and the author says "If you domain forward or mask to your .Mac (MobileMe) address, please always use the .Mac (MobileMe) address and not your own domain!" It seems to me that anyone who registers a personal domain name must domain forward or mask. If these instructions are correct, how would one's own domain name ever appear?

It seems to me that anyone who registers a personal domain name must domain forward or mask.
That's not correct. iWeb's personal domain feature is designed to use CNAME pointing.

Personal Domain doesn't work properly: Forced to type "www".

Hey,
Recently upgraded to iLife '08 specifically for the Personal Domain feature.
I followed the steps and got it to use my domain name from Register.com.
The problem is, it only works if I type 'www' as part of the URL. Otherwise I get this error:
+"This domain is not configured for this service. Please contact the webmaster to have it enabled."+
As we all know, almost nobody actually types 'www' anymore (example 'apple.com' and not 'www.apple.com'). So the Personal Domain is actually rather useless since 90% of the people typing in my URL will get an error.
I already contacted Register.com and they suggested a paid forwarding service, which defeats the whole point of iWeb's Personal Domain. The other suggestion was to get, I think, my .Mac home page's IP address. This could be forwarded for free. However I don't know how to get that.
Should I track down tech support at Apple?
Has anyone ran into the same limitation?
Thanks in advance.

Well I did precisely that over a month ago.
BTW My domain name is aristomenis.com, and I do not use .mac for email.
As the CNAME, I already have "*" and "www" pointing to web.mac.com. Below is a representation of how I filled out the form a Register.com, where "{ }" represents the text fields I have access to:
{*}.aristomenis.com points to {web.mac.com}
{www}.aristomenis.com points to {web.mac.com}
{ftp}.aristomenis.com points to {aristomenis.com}
Register.com will not allow me to put "@" (or alternately nothing) in the field preceding aristomenis.com. Every time I try that an error page comes up saying "there is an error updating Zone records".
As you can see above, Register.com forces ".aristomenis.com" right after the alias field, which leads me to believe that a "." (a.k.a a period) must precede aristomenis.com to make a typed-in URL work.
For example, in my browser's address bar I can type in almost anything plus '.aristomenis.com' and it'll point to my .Mac site. However aristomenis.com without a period before doesn't work.
What am I missing? I spent an hour with Register.com's tech support and I'm pretty sure I filled out everything exactly as needed on their side. Utimately they said I need to contact Apple to get an IP address for my .Mac page and maybe we can Register.com can help me link it with a free version of their forwarding service.
Please help. I really don't see how iWeb's Personal Domain feature doesn't actually work properly. Especially with such a large registrar as Register.com.
Again thanks in advance.

How do you post multiple personal domains to .Mac sub accounts?

I was assured by .Mac tech support that .Mac will host a different personal domain on each of five accounts of a family pak. Now I discover that iWeb is a one-trick pony. I'm stunned that I can't create separate sites and upload them individually. I've never heard of an application that can only create one document!
And I can't even find the data for that ONE document; ~/Library/Application/Domain.sites2 is only 20kb no matter how many photos you've added to the site.
So I guess I have two questions: How do you post multiple domains to sub accounts?
And, where's my data?

The tilde (~/Library/etc.) indicates home folder; that is where I was looking. I did a Spotlite search and discovered that in attempting to backup my data, I'd moved it; Spotlite found it and it was all intact.
Then I discovered I could duplicate Domain.sites2, change the names to Domain de.sites2, and Domain daru.sites2, open daru's site and delete de's, then open de's and delete daru's, and I had two separate sites that I presume I'll be able to upload separately. Once I get .Mac sub groups created...
Seems like a stupid bit of programming; must have hired some windows guys to code it...
Problem I'm having now is, .Mac won't let me set up a sub account in my wife's name because she already has a .Mac ID and a trial account because she joined a .Mac group. Awaiting a reply rom .Mac tech support.
So my question isn't quite answered yet, but it does look like I can post several sites without having to set up separate user accounts. Seems like this could be explained in the help file in plain English...

How do you set up more than one Personal domain name to your .Mac account

I have registered 3 domain names changed all the cnames to web.mac.com.
Now on the menu to set Personal domain on my .Mac account it only lets you add 0ne Domain name?
How do we add more or is there a limit?

You can only set one domain name. You can of course use other means to forward the other two to the one you have put in your .Mac Account Settings.

How to cancel "set up personal domain"

Does anyone know how I cancel the "set up personal domain" in iWeb 2.0? I changed my mind halfway through the set-up process (I clicked Personal Domain in my Account Settings, entered my domain name, but haven't defined my CNAME on my registrar's website). Now it looks like I can't access either my iWeb files OR my personal domain name! Thanks for your help!

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

How to 'Hide' real domain when using a personal domain name

Hello!
I'd be grateful if anyone has a solution for the following:
I use a personal '.co.uk' domain name for e-mailing, but my 'real' domain (from my ISP) shows up to the recipient when I send e-mails.
I remember from my days of using Windows that there was a way of hiding it in Outlook Express (in an article I read about personal domain use). Is there a way of hiding my 'real' domain in Mail?
Just to clarify how I'm set up with my personal domain: I bought it off 1&1 who then activated it for mail forwarding with, of course, my 'real' domain e-mail address as the destination.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Well, you set the From: address that will appear on the email in Preferences, Accounts, Account information. (You can even add multiple email addresses in the Email address line -- just separate them with commas. Then you can select which From: address to use.)
Anyone who looks at the complete message will still be able to see where it came from, but the From: field will be what you intend.

Mistaken personal domain name, how do I change it?

I am using iWeb iLife 08, and have my own .mac account.
I am trying to set up my own personal web name for my iWeb account, which I have purchased through GoDaddy. I entered the name, or what I thought was the correct name (wrong by 1 letter) and submitted this name, I am now only being offered the option to continue with this incorrect name.
How do I go back one step and change the name of my personal domain for my iWeb?
many thanks

I don't think you can easily do change ownership of your MBA.
The Mac App Store doesn't allow you to transfer ownership of the applications asociated with your MBA to a new owner.
You may have to contact Apple to resolve this for you.
Maybe someone on the forum has more information for you.
This discusion may be of interest.

Personal Domain and GoDaddy How To

I saw the threads and think everyone is doing it the hard way. I too am with godaddy but godaddy uses a third party registrar. I don't remember the details on how i found the phone number, but somewhere on godaddy it tells you. Actually I think I just called godaddy and asked for registrar's phone number. Call the registrar and simply ask them to change CName to "web.mac.com". The guy said that he thought this wouldn't work but I said just do it because that's what Apple says to do. So he did and the next day it worked. (as it takes a day to go into effect) Piece of cake!

See if this helps ...
Greetings,
Along with the numerous complaints about the reliability of iWeb '08, many of us have also had trouble setting up .Mac to host our " personal domains". Godaddy has always made it easy to redirect sites to .Mac addresses and "mask" those sites. However ... some of the directions for using "unmasked" URL's on .Mac have been a bit confusing. After following many tips found in the Discussion Boards here I too had no success. I wrote GoDaddy and they quickly responded to my e-mail with the following simple reply which required only one change in ONE FIELD after setting up your personal domain with .Mac.
I've copied the steps sent by GoDaddy to find the field below (for those of us who are not so web savvy and have no idea what CNAMES, DNS, or XM RECORDS are or mean).
1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. From the Domain Names menu, select Manage Domains. The Domain Control Center opens.
3. In your list of domain names, click on the domain name that you want to view. The Details for the selected domain display.
4. Under the Total DNS Control section, click Manage Subdomains or Total DNS Control and MX Records. (Middle Column under NAME SERVERS)
5. Click the edit button next to the www CNAME
6. Follow the on screen directions from here to the change the points to host.
(You'll want to enter in the section for CNAMES ... the first line "WWW" ... Points to "@" ... change the "@" to "web.mac.com")
It took only seconds after making this change for my iWeb site to redirect to my personal domain at .Mac and for all my URL's to read properly.
Best of luck!

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.

How do i add a personal domain to my iWeb site?

I created a website using iWeb and logged on to mobile me to activate the personal domain I bought. It's asking me to:
Add Personal Domain
Before your iWeb site can be viewed at your personal domain, you must complete the following steps:
Go to your registrar's website. Define web.me.com as the "www" CNAME (alias) for your domain.
If you need help creating a CNAME, contact your registrar.
Return to this page and click Done.
Your registrar can take up to 48 hours to update your domain.
Can someone explain where or who my registrat is? I bought my domain through GoDaddy.com. Are they my registrar?
Thanks,
Dali

Are they my registrar?
Yes.
And to answer the next question : godaddy iweb cname
And here's the shortcut to the GoDaddy Help page :
