Is .Mac account the best hosting for iWeb sites ?

I couldn't put too many questions into my earlier posting.
My question: is .Mac account the best option to host websites created with iWeb ?
if it doesn't matter, what would a recommended webhost ?
thanks!

If you don’t publish your site to .Mac, these iWeb features are unavailable:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ Enhanced slideshows

  • What is the best replacement for iWeb?

    I have been using iWeb for a very long time. I need to move on to something that is being updated. What is the best replacement for iWeb? I see Wordpress needs special software to work on a Mac.
    Thanks!

    I have used HostExcellence in the past and they support all the CMS's including WordPress, so you should have no problems there.
    The top CMS's that most have heard about and use are Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.
    There is probably no best one, but you need to look at them all and use the one that best fits your needs.
    I have used all of them in the past, but most recently Joomla and Drupal.  Drupal has a reputation for being quite hard and Drupal 6 was, but with the advent of Drupal 7, things got a lot easier.  There are a lot more themes that you can use and if you want increased functionality in Drupal, then you can download Modules and install them.  You can have a membership site if you want it and this is easy to do - people can sign up for an account and you can restrict their access to certain parts of the site and then limit what they can do.  You can allow people to complete forms on the site itself and the results to be sent to you.  There is a Blog module that you can enable and that comes in Drupal Core with no need to download an extra module.
    Joomla is good also and you can have a Blog with it too and there are lots of themes to choose from, but sometimes you have to pay for extras with Joomla - you can download Extensions and Plugins, but they may not always be free.
    WordPress was always just thought of as a blogging platform, but it has evolved in to much more than that and you can now create stunning looking websites with blogs - there are a good range of free templates to choose from and if you want your blog on the front page of your site you can have this, or you can change it to another part of your site if you want a static front page.  To extend functionality you can download plugins from inside WordPress itself, most of which are free.  This might be the easiest one for you to use if you just want a website with a built in blog that is relatively easy.
    Check out the others though at Drupal.org, Joomla.org and then WordPress.org.

  • Hosting for IWeb Site

    I created a beatiful website using iWeb - don't get me wrong, .Mac is great, but not what I am needing to promote my business. What are my options for getting my iWeb site onto the WWW? What hosts are out there that are compatible with iWeb?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    nearly every host allows you to get your site online for iweb! common ones include:
    http://yahoo.com http://godaddy.com http://1and.com http://strato.de
    depending on your country - there might be better hosts!
    here is how you upload your site:

  • Migration to a new machine lost all the background files for iWeb site

    Help!
    I have just migrated to a new mac pro from my old G5 power mac. I use the migration tool to move all my stuff over to the new machine.
    When i started up iWeb and looked at my site, all the background items are gone. it tells me there are missing files. these are all the standard iWeb theme files.
    i don't even know where to start. where are these files supposed to be? can i transfer them over manually from the old mac to the new one?
    i really don't want to re assign themes for 100 or so pages.
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Manually copy the domain.sites2 file that's in your *+User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder+* on the G5 to the same location on your new Mac Pro, replacing the domain file that's there now due to the migration assistant. See if that will open with all files.

  • Cheapest best hosting for dreamweaver site/wordpress

    Is godaddy the best go?
    Who can i host with where i can host multiple sites on the one server? With different .com's.?
    Regards,

    Cheapest and best are seldom synonymous.
    There are many reliable web hosts. I'm not going to make a recommendation because that can spark a whole series of back and forth replies.
    That said, I don't use godaddy. One feature I would never do without is ssh access. Even if you're not quite sure why you'd want that now, with a little learning you can make very good use of it and solve problems and do things that are very difficult to do using other methods.

  • Do I have have to have mac account in order to use iWeb?

    can I still use iWeb without a Mac account? do i have to have a mac account?

    You can put iWeb sites on just about any server, no need for .Mac necessarily. Here are some tips:

  • What's the best antivirus for mac???should i use one or not??

    what's the best antivirus for mac?? and also should i have one on my mac or not???

    Mac's use a Unix based operating system and other controls that make it hostile for viruses to thrive.
    However it's possible to carry Windows viruses to other Windows machines by a Mac, also there might be some corruption if your dealing with a lot of Windows files.
    So all you really need is a scanner to run when you need it, something like the free ClamXav is good.
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    Apple includes a anti-trojan/malicious program type anti-malware service built into all latest versions of OS X, it works and updates in the background.
    There has been many attempts at trying to "trojan" or trick Mac users into installing rogue software on web pages. If you see soemthing like this, best to just Force Quit the browser by clicking on the Finder and selecting Force Quit from the menu.
    A alternative browser like Firefox will offer more protection.
    If you run your typical day to day operations on a Mac in what's called "Standard User", with a separate Admin User account, you'll need to update your Apple Menu > Software Update and your Apple Menu > System Preferences > Security > toggle the "Automatically Update Safe Downloads List" check box on/off about once a week.
    Standard User provides more security restrictions, but is also designed not to intrude into those who are less capable use of the computer.
    Third party plugins for your browser like Flash and Silverlight (used on Netflix) require a once a week check for updates.
    Use a free service like the Mozilla browser check here:
    https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Always back up your personal data and never install programs that your not 100% you trust the source of.
    If you have any questions or suspicions, simply ask the opinions of the more senior users here on this forum.
    Good advice is not to install any anti-virus like Norton that demands the operating system remain a consistent state. Apple changes things all the time, which breaks software like Norton or OS X itself when a Software Update occurs.
    There are two great free 3D games, simply search for: Nexiuz Classic and Cube 2 Sauerbraten.

    Good Luck and enjoy your Mac.

    my daughter is a college student. she needs to write and compile c programs on her mac for a class this semester. what is the best place for her to start to get the correct compiler etc. to use ? thanks

    If you know that you will not be asked to design GUI interfaces, and the C programming course will adhere to command line compilation environments, then get the Xcode command-line developer tools, and skip the extra complication of Xcode until you absolutely need it. Apple has kicked GNU C to the curb and is rightly so, using Clang/LLVM compiler technology.
    Sign up for a free Apple Developer account using your Apple ID, and then visit the Mac Dev Center, and towards the bottom of the page, you will see additional downloads. Click on the associated, all down loads link. Know your OS X version beforehand, as the command-line tool releases are tied to general operating system versions, and the most recent Xcode version.  That said, there are currently two March 9, 2015 command-line tools for Xcode 6.2 — one for OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and the other for OS X Yosemite.

  • What is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    what is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    My answer does not have the black Apple logo but the hardearned black belt of (bad) experience.
    There is one problem with TimeMachine. It can get corrupted out of the blue with no warning and it will not want to restore correctly (as an added "bonus" you get to find this out the "hard" way, when you need it most). Plus it takes ages for the data to be copied back, sometimes days. Haven't tried my 600gb backup on Mavericks but Mountain Lion had this knack of breaking Timemachine after a couple of months.
    To back up my entire server is use SuperDuper. It mirrors the drive to an external one (usb for example) The cool thing is you can use that usb drive and start the OS X from it (by holding Alt when you hear the boot chime).
    This way you have a working copy of your entire machine. You can even go to another mac and boot it from there. I literally ran the OS X Server in my company from a usb drive on an old MacBook Pro until i got around to fix the problems with the actual server machine.
    This has saved me twice already as the Hitachi drives Apple uses, tend to die like clockwork after 4000-5000 hours of use with no warning.

    PS. As a sidenote... SSDs are more reliable than a normal HDD (not to mention faster) I can't stress this enough, my Server is on two SSDs now. I can't tell you how stress free the setup is, it doesn't feel like a computer but more like a router, it just works... forever. After two years with SSDs my server has had two days of downtime and their health is at 97%, they will literally last 100 years with normal use. I'd go so far as to recommend you buy an SSD and move your old HDD to an external enclosure and use that as a usb backup. (for SSDs i use Plextor / Lite-On M3s (older) or the M6s (newer))

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
    Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
    See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
    hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

  • What's the best order for mac os x?

    Hello, i was wandering about the best order for the RAM clips (when they're different in size, of course).
    Should i place my little one clip in the lower slot and my big one clip in the upper slot, or the opposite, ...or did mac os x worth about it for the performances to be better?
    Thanks for your comments.

    The slots are very specific about the kind of RAM they can accept. If you simply bought RAM based on the generic spec, you may have bought the wrong RAM. Be sure to buy from a vendor that is specific about your Mac model when asking for RAM. http://www.crucial.com/ has a much better handle than most in giving you the right RAM. The height of the module may affect clearance or heat or bus slewing issues with the logicboard, so be sure to put only the height that was already in the computer. If uncertain, find better instructions that show you. See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html
    Mac OS X performance is best when you install exactly according to manufacturer spec, and not from some generic spec.
