I made a free website using iweb and my host is dropbox but it is not showing in every search engine,i have to use a proxy for my site to pop up

i made a free website using iweb and my host is dropbox but it is not showing in every search engine,i have to use a proxy for my site to pop up

Possibly because dropbox is not really a proper webhost - it might be better if you went and signed up for proper web hosting from somewhere like http://www.godaddy.com or http://www.hostexcellence.com.
Have you told Google that you site exists? If not, then you need to do so - http://www.google.com/addurl.

IWeb and personal domain

Is it possible to create a website using iWeb and upload it to personal domain (www.mydomain.com) without Mobile Me?

Yes, you can.
Sign up at a webhost, with or without a domainname, and publish.
Before you do, you can practice on your own computer :
http://www.wyodor.net/Tutorials/iWebDemo/sFTP.html
And you don't upload to a personal domain. You upload to a server.
And browse this forum. It has been discussed several times a day every day since June last year.
Can any one recommend a web hosting company

Iweb and godaddy hosting

So I just purchased iweb and plan to create a website for when i travel to South Africa. Problem is I declined to sign up for .mac because I really only need it for 4 months and don't want to pay $99.
Godaddy.com seems to have some better prices but is there anyone here who can walk me through what I'd need to do to post my iweb creations to such a service? I need an ftp program right? Which should I use and how do I use it? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Will

here here... I second that. I have had godaddy a long time, even while I had .mac. I got iWeb last night, and whipped up a couple images from MY trip to South Africa over the last two weeks!! interesting coincidence. take a look at what I did.
www.jrog.com
I used the blog system to link in multiple photo albums, as I don't see myself creating much in the way of blogs in the conventional sense, but it is handy to be able to create a new image gallery.
Godaddy gave me free hosting, but I ended up paying for the basic service, some $36 a year for 5GB of storage and 250G of monthly data transfer. Pretty insane if you ask me.
I told the salesman at the apple store last night that I would go back to .Mac the moment they allow for personal domain name compatability. Even Google's gmail allows you to setup an alternate domain name, and send emails as that domain user.

Deleted pages in iWeb and on hosting site but still appear in navbar?

I've deleted a couple of pages in a site built in iWeb and also deleted the files and html of those pages where my site is hosted (Earthlink). However, I'm still seeing the names of those pages in the navbar — NOT in iWeb, but when i actually access the site. The pages themselves are not there anymore, but their names remain in the navbar (and click through to an error msg).
This makes me think I haven't uploaded all the necessary changes. Where does the code for the navbar reside? I reloaded the home file+html (among other pages) but not the index.

If you are using the iWeb default navigation, try publishing to a local folder and upload the feed.xml with your FTP application.

IWeb and GoDaddy Hosting of Multiple Sites

GoDaddy users: I have the solution. I have 8 sites all hosted from one host account.
The key is you must have a separate FTP login for each website. In the past I would just use the root. Now, each site has its own.
Examples:
iWeb document name:memorialslive
Site Name: meorialslive
Server address: studiobuzz.biz
User name: memorialslive
Directory/Path: BLANK
URL://www.memorialslive.com
=================
iWeb document name:ministrieslive
Site Name: ministrieslive
Server address: studiobuzz.biz
User name: ministrieslive
Directory/Path: BLANK
URL://www.ministrieslive.com
Etc.
What is also great is that the visit button now works too.
All is good. Apple is once again vindicated.

This is the answer to those of you having troubles with FTP uploads to your GoDaddy web host and maybe others.

Iweb and microsoft hosting

My husband had a website with a linux hosting package, and I would drop a new published iWeb folder to the ftp via Transmit anytime I wanted to update it. Worked like clockwork. However, he recently wanted to upgrade the package, and accidently selected MS hosting verses linux hosting. Now I have no idea where to put the iWeb folder. Anytime I open the website's FTP, instead of seeing the folders I'm used to being ther, all i see is:
_db import folder
db folder
default.asp
logs folder
First, I understand it's going to be different because it's microsoft, but surely I can still use this?
I am calling up to switch to the linux, but until now what can I do to get my website running? Where can i drop the published iWeb folder?
i'm using iWeb 08..Thanks!

Greetings,
Usually putting your iWeb site and it's index file at the root level of your server is sufficient. So if you are looking at the top level (not inside of any containing folders) of the server then just try uploading your files there.
The very best answer? Contact whatever company is doing the hosting for you and ask them. They are the ones you are paying money to to have this site hosted, they should be able to tell you exactly where to put your files on their server. It should be a simple question for them to answer.

Iweb and yahoo hosting setup questions

using iweb to create my page, trying to upload to my yahoo host service and can't get anything but a 404 file not found message. i've published to another folder, uploaded the index.html file and included graphic file and still get nothing. any advice would be much appreciated. thanks in advance!

My only other question is - am I to delete the files yahoo created in my directory, leaving only my own uploaded files?
There should be no need to do that.
when i type in my site name it goes to a directory, and if i click on the folder i uploaded it looks all good.
Seeing the directory instead of your site right away normally means you did not upload the index.html file which iweb created alongside the folder which has the name you gave your site inside the iweb app.

Iweb/fetch/godaddy hosting-not loading

Need help. I designed my website on iweb and bought hosting thru godaddy, used fetch for FTP--tried to load the site and it wouldn't appear when I went to my site. I asked godaddy support for help. Here's how they answered:
Currently your index.html page is loading, but the code on this page is redirecting to remakeyourplace.com/REMAKE YOUR PLACE.html. You will need to add this page, or change the coding on your site. Unfortunately, we do not provide technical support with third-party scripting issues. You may wish to consult with a community forum online or do a search on your favorite search engine as other users may have encountered a similar problem in the past and may offer helpful solutions.We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Can someone tell me in simple terms how to solve this problem? Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing, I just want to get my website up and running.I could really use the help. thx

"put" (the term fetch uses for loading) the entire folder to my website
That does not sound correct. The instructions tell you to upload two items: the folder which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iweb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb creates alongside that folder. The folder also has an index.html inside it, and that is fine, but in your server space you must be able to see two separate items, one file called index.html and one folder with the name you gave your site.
To avoid possible confusion, try publishing to your desktop, so you can clearly see the index.html file and folder which iWeb creates and which both need to be uploaded.

Mac and personal domain names

How to set up your iWeb and personal domain names, How do you get your iWeb DNS. tHANKS

Mac/iWeb and domainnames have nothing to do with each other.
Your domainname is related to your webserver. With or without iWeb.
And there is no such thing as an iWeb DNS.
Check where you have your webhosting and domainname registered.
And in case the message did not get across, MobileMe ends at the end of this month. And so does Personal Domain, which is a MMe feature.

Hosting .Mac and Personal Domain Separately - Help!

Hi,
I have three websites I have made using iWeb, and one personal domain. I would like to host two of the sites only on .Mac, and host the third site on the personal domain. I set up the CNAME and it works but I do not want two of the sites to be linked to the personal domain.
Is there a way to do this?
Should I copy iWeb and use the copy for one or the other?
Can I separate the website files or something?
Thanks in advance!

When I go to mysite.com, the iWeb page I want shows up, and I can go through the pages of the site. But if I type in mysite.com/site2.html or mysite.com/site3.html my other sites come up. I don't want those two sites to be accessible from mysite.com.
Thanks for the clarification.
Of course one has to know the names of your other sites in order to access them.
Some ways to divorce them more totally might to
+password protect them
+purchase another .Mac account (or use a family account) for them
+manually move them to iDisk/Sites. Then they would have the url homepage.mac.com/username/sitename (not sure all features would work).
PS A further option might be to use ordinary forwarding plus masking instead of CNAME. When you do that, your personal url is sent to your longer .Mac url, web.mac.com/username/sitename. I don't know what happens when you try to type in a different sitename after the personal name.

.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.

I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
404: Page not found
This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
Troubleshooting suggestions:
Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
is the problem with
iweb or with hosting?
One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks
Thanks VG
<Email Edited by Host>

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not showing well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not uploading well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

I got a chance to look at it on a PC. Totally hosed up. It loads incorrectly then parts of it go blank.
I have a site that is based very much on one of the built-in templates and it works fine on the same PC. It contains only text boxes, image placeholders, and images with "picture frame" borders. Nothing fancy, no overlays, no extra code or anything. I haven't looked much at the other templates so I don't know if yours is mostly a template or how much you may have modified one or what tricks you may have done to get the look you wanted. Whatever it is, IE does not like it. Unfortunately, you can't really ignore them as was suggested; they make up a large part of your audience.

Do I need to buy a web hosting package to publish with iweb, and how do I configure Filezilla?

Hi,
I've created a website using iweb and have bought a domain name from 123reg and downloaded Filezilla as the FTP server. How do I configure Filezilla to my server and do i need to buy a web hosting package?
Thanks!

To use FileZilla, or iWeb's built-in FTP, you need a webhosting package.
Which one? Start with your own ISP. Otherwise its like answering what's a good grocery store.
The webhoster will provide the details of what to enter in the various fields.
Perhaps 123Reg offers what you want? They do actually.
You must have seen it when you visited their pages.
