Is iWeb MobleMe or FTP Hosting Faster?

I have a site created with iWeb... I use MobileMe to host the site... I have received complaints that it is slow to load... Would FTP hosting on GoDaddy lets say, load the site faster when viewed?

Uploading to a commercial hosting service will increase download speed and also give you wider bandwidth and better reliability. However, the biggest improvement will come from optimizing your files before upload.....

I have just uploaded my iWeb site to a FTP host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone very strange! How can i get it to publish the same as I designed it? Thanks in advance....

Please help! I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong! Many thanks...

Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...

Upload iWeb website to GoDaddy FTP hosting server

I purchased a domain (huaichuanrui.co.uk) and web hosting from GoDaddy. I created a website in iWeb '09 (version 3) and clicked on the site name in the left hand sidebar. I filled in all the FTP server information - in the server address box, I've tried ftp.huaichuanrui.co.uk, huaichuanrui.co.uk, http://huaichuanrui.co.uk, the IP address, ftp://huaichuanrui.co.uk, everything. I've typed the username and password for my hosting account correctly. I left the Directory/Path field empty like most people recommend, but I've also tried it with the folder location on my Mac (/Huaichuan_Rui), /Huaichuan_Rui/, all sorts. I left Protocol as FTP and Port as 21. Still, no luck. Testing keeps failing.
I've also tried uploading the site folder to the GoDaddy hosting control panel thing where it says "Upload Files". It all uploaded, but still nothing. The homepage preview is shown as "pageok". Now when I visit my site, it says "Coming Soon - Future home of something quite cool".
No luck at all in publishing my iWeb website to GoDaddy's FTP hosting server.
Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this issue? Thank you.

How to upload to ftp host in adobe muse so it overwrites an existing website

I'm trying to upload to ftp host in adobe muse to publish my muse website live for the first time so that it overwrites a website I have from iweb. I have a domain and hosting service from Ventra IP, I put these details in the 'upload to ftp host' box that appears, it publishes, however my old website that I created in iweb still shows up.

Hi Brianna276. Without knowing your skill level, I will first start out with the easiest fix and ask if you have hit control-F5 to refresh your screen in case your computer is holding a cached version of your site. If that's not it, then I will say that I once had a similar issue and had to go into the files on my site and delete an old index file that was on the remote server. Once I deleted the old one, I was able to see the Muse site (and new index.html file) I uploaded.

IWeb and GoDaddy FTP

Ok so I have an iWeb site already that I use with MobileMe. Now I want to add another site using godaddy ftp. So I follow the instructions that godaddy gives enter my username, password, etc and test the connection. It fails every time. I really do not know why it is not working or what is wrong. Should I call godaddy? or what.
Thanks,
Jordan

Firstly, do you have a hosting account set up with Godaddy? If not, then it won't work.
Also, iWeb 09 built ftp is notorious for not being that reliable. I would suggest that you download either Cyberduck or Transmit for free and use either of these to upload your other site.
You also should have been given a username and password when you set up your hosting account with Godaddy - if nothing works then you need to contract them, but try Cyberduck or Transmit first.

How to publish my site iWeb on a FTP servor ?

How to publish my site iWeb on a FTP servor since Mobilme is no longer available ?

You might want to check out third party hosts like Machighway or Hostexcellence or others who offer low cost website hosting. They will give you the info you need to plug into iWeb's ftp page to upload the site. they cost less than mobileme and offer more.
Apple has some tutorials on ftp and iweb. http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/#ftp

Can i publish an iWeb website to any host?

I want to use iWeb to build a website but i don't use mobile me.
I have a domain name with 1&1 and I have all the relevant ftp information but i can't see how you can publish a site made in iWeb unless it's through mobile me.
So does anyone know how I can get a site i've just made onto the internet without using mobile me? my web hosters are 1and1.
many thanks
Joe

Joe:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can publish an iWeb site to any host server. It involves publishing to a folder on the Desktop (or anywhere you want it to reside on the HD) and then uploading the contents of that folder, a site folder and an index.html file, to your server using an ftp client like the free Cyberduck.
Enter the ftp information into Cyberduck and upload.

IWeb communication with FTP serve

I am trying to publish from iWeb to an FTP server. I have done this before with no problem. But using all the same settings, to update the site and replace pages, I keep getting the message,
PUBLISH ERROR
There was an error communicating with the FTP server try again later, or check with your service provider.
I have tried later for a week, with no luck.
I have checked with the service provider who confirms all is ok.
I have checked all the settings. The field path is blank, but I never filled this in the past and filling it now just brings up the message, path not recognised.
When I test the connection in iWeb (With path left blank) it confirms I can publish.
When I publish, it prepares the files and tells me publishing will continue in the background. Then after a while the message error message appears. It feels as if it is getting stuck.
I did try going round iWEB by using iWeb to create the site, publishing it to the local folder and then using classic FTP uploading the site to the host server URL. It works, but with errors and 404 messages leaving some pages either marked as 404 errors and others with bits missing.
Anyone got any thoughts.

Try publishing to a local folder and then uploading your site with either Cyberduck or Transmit and see if this makes a difference.
Check that all your files are being uploaded too - error messages can occur due to this.
If you are sure that you have done everything correctly - publishing your site to a local folder, and then filling in the correct username, password and ftp details in either Cyberduck and Transmit and checking to see that all files have been uploaded to whichever folder you need to upload them to - public_html, htdocs or whatever, then I would suggest that you contact your hosts technical support department to see why you keep getting error messages.
Do you have Linux or Windows hosting? Linux is always better for iWeb sites, so if you have Windows then try and change it.

Godaddy + FTP hosting

Okay this is going to be a stupidly easy question for someone to answer, but I have my domain through godaddy and am now trying to set up my iweb sited to be hosted via ftp. Where on godaddy would I find the information that I need to host my site. Again I know this is stupidly easy, but I am not tech savvy when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Problem Upload to FTP host...

Hi
can you help me
I have a web site content many Assets link (pdf files like 10 mo each)
and when i want to upload to my FTP host,
it's very very long to accomplish this part
i must Cancel and proceed with Export as html
to transfert all
i'm sad because it's very fast when i don't have asset in a web site.
Any idea why it doesn't work well with assets ?
have you the same problems ?
thanks to help me
sorry for my bad english, i'm french canadian

You might be having the same slow upload problem that I am. Zak told me that it is a nasty bug. The fix is in the private beta you can apply for by clicking on Help, then Adobe Muse Private Beta. It will take you through the steps to get added to the beta users list. You're supposed to receive an email with download instructions but it takes them a couple of days (or more) to send the email.

I web site won't upload on new FTP host

Hi all. I used to host my domain through mobile me and have now got new hosting elsewhere. I built my site in iWeb and, even though I've configured iWeb to now upload to the new FTP host, it takes ages to publish the site and when it does is just blank... I'm clearly doing something worng... when I hit "test connection" it comes back as ok.... and my DNS settings are all pointing in the right direction... I'm serioulsy out of my depth with all th jargon here but can anyone help me? My site has been down for a month now and the hosting people aren't any help with iweb.
Many thanks in anticipation...
Tim

Thanks for the suggestions.
I've made some headway on this and have managed to at least get the files up on to the host server. It's actually pay as you host, who are a sister company of just the name. Their tech support is pretty good, but not clued up on iweb so I'm a tad stuck.
Anyway, I've made a new tiny site called "test" to upload and use to figure it all out. This initaially uploaded to the servers "doc" folder in a folder of its own and wasn't showing up when I typed my domain name into safari. I then moved all the files out of their folders and into the docs folder diretly, and the welcome page now appears. However it isn't formatted the way it is supposed to be.
I've attached screenshots of how it looks in safari, how it should look (form iweb) and also of how the files are listed in the docs folder of the server.
I guess this is now most likely an iweb issue not a sever one...
Any help (in as simple a language as possible) gratefully received as otherwise I am looking at starting from scratch again which I'd rather avoid..
Kind regards
Tim

IWeb, Finder and FTP Uploads...

Hey folks...
I was wondering if anyone was aware of an app that integrates FTP uploading capabilities straight into Finder - as opposed to use a third party FTP application to upload files.
I would like to use iWeb to publish websites to my website's FTP account - via FTP, by using Finder (But, obviously Finder is only read-only FTP access).
Does an application like this exist?

I don't know if this solves your problem, but I connect to an FTP server through Safari and it mounts on my dekstop - thus Finder. If I type the line below in Safari (substituting my information where it says "username, password, and FTP host), then the FTP volume will mount on my desktop (after a few seconds), and appear in the Finder. Depending upon on your privileges you should be able to drag files in and out of the window (or the volume in the finder).
The line looks like this (type in the URL of Safari):
ftp://username:password@hostname
Again, not sure if this is what you want.

Multiple questions about using iWeb '09 with my Host Excellence, GoDaddy & Storenvy Accounts. Can you Help?

Hello, my name is Luis Diaz and I have always appreciated the help here in the iWeb community. I've been using iWeb for a long time. For some reason my usernames are not working lately - LuisDiazArt or RabidArt)
I updated my domain service with Host Excellence before MobileMe expired and thank you guys for the help with that. So far it's been a flawless service and because of that I'm very happy. I also have all my domains in GoDaddy. They have been very helpful
Okay I'm going to try to explain my current problem. I'm trying to create a subdomain in GoDaddy for my website: LuisDiazArt.com
I went and added a Subdomain in the Control Panel as: store.LuisDiazArt.com The subdomain suppose to mask my store: luisdiaz.storenvy.com
I thought by adding this subdomain it would make all the addresses look similar (and more clean) just in case someone gets lost along the way.
So what's happening after I waited an hour is I'm getting: http://store.luisdiazart.com/LuisDiazArt.com/Art_of_Luis_Diaz_%7C_LuisDiazArt.co m.html
I'm getting the huge and familair long addresses and it is not pointing to my store, but to the homepage.
Did I do something wrong or do I not understand something fully about subdomains? I thought you can make a subdomain point to another site. Perhaps it can't be done the way I'm thinking about this.
So to fix this issue I am thinking about making a duplicate website with a different domain name (RabidArt) and mask it with LuisDiazArt (this is site name I use on business card and everything else). After that make a subdomain with the same: http://store.luisdiazart.com
Perhaps this may fix the problem.
So to do this I may need to add another site onto my account (Basic and not Business) on HostExcellence.
So my other questions are:
Can I have multiple domains or websites using iWeb on a Basic Host Excellence Account? I checked out a few websites, but couldn't really find out if I can have multiple domains/websites using iWeb on Host Excellence with my current account.
I do know how to make a new duplicate site, but do you publish it the same way as you would with the regular site or do I have to so something different?
Hopefully the problem can be fixed not having to do a new site and maybe it was something I did wrong when I added a subdomain.

To add more domains you need to upgrade your account.
To have a sub domain for your store you need to create a separate site in iWeb and upload these files to the store.luisdiazart.com folder.
The files for the main site go in the luisdiazart folder.
Use an external hyperlink to link one to the other.
