Iweb hosting ?

Hello Im new to the discussion boards and im sure someone can help me.
I currently have an iweb site hosted with .mac, www.haveringindoorbowls.com
yet im considering moving over to a different host, (godaddy.com) however there is two OS types to choose from Windows and Linux, which one do i choose ?
i know that mac OSX is not listed but i understand that godaddy seems the most popular with other mac users,
Thanks

Will my web site created with iweb hosted by fatcow work on icloud?

No. iCloud does not host websites.

What happens to iweb hosting when mobileme ends?

I cuurently host a website with iweb/mobileme... what will happen to hosting when mobileme switches off?

I opened an account with GoDaddy, and moved all my iDisk files to their "OnLineFileFolder" system. I also created space for iWeb hosting. With the help of their telephone support (which is excellent), I was able to re-publish all my iWeb sites to their system, and it works fine. From reading the other replies, there appears to be several solutions for iWeb hosting elsewhere.
Here is a sample of iWeb posted on GoDaddy:

Domain name within iweb & hosting

*I recently purchased a domain name for a site that I will be working on.*
*There are two things that I would like to do:*
*1. Host the web site on my mac which is running OS X 10.5.6*
*2. Use iWeb '09 to develop the site*
*I would like to know how to go about hosting the site off my mac without having to run OS X 10.5 server.*
and
*How to set my registered domain (.com) address within iweb so when I publish the site it will only contain the domain name of the site in the URL field.*
Many thanks

IWeb Hosting or FTP???

I am not sure where the question belongs or even how to ask. I have a site already hosted through Domains Priced Right which is somehow affiliated with GoDaddy. I want to use the site address that I have on Domains Priced Right with a site that I use iWeb to design. I want to maintain my account with Domains Priced Right so how do I transfer the name from that site to the iWeb site.
hanks for any assistance!
PEace,
Jim

In iWeb you setup the info to publish wherever it is you publish.
iWeb will use the provided domainname to create links, especially the RSS links, in your pages.
In iWeb click the Sitename in the Sidebar and choose FTP as the publish method.
Fill in the details.

IWeb hosting with GoDaddy

After messing with GoDaddy's hosting options a bit, I got my iWeb site hosted with the "www" prefix, but I can't for some reason get my site hosted without that prefix. You have to type"www" before the address every time in order to see the site, otherwise it just shows a parked page.
See for yourself:
http://www.usborneartistry.com - should work.
http://usborneartistry.com - never works.
Any help?

Your domainname is usborneartistry.com
Your subdomain is www.usborneartistry.com
That's the one you use for MMe.
All other (sub)domains point to somewhere else.

Built in iWeb, hosted on .mac, trouble viewing in Safari?

I built my website (markspectorwrites.com) in iWeb and host it on .mac. On four different boxes (two G4s, one intel, I don't know which one my headhunter uses), the site appears to load a blank page. Not until I click in the browser window does the site appear. When I follow links to another page on the site, the same blank pages appear until I click in the browser window.
Admittedly my pages are fairly heavy, but this bug does not appear to effect Firefox browsers or Windows computers using Explorer.
This is a recent development. I built the site about a year ago and haven't updated the content in months. Is there anything I can do on my end to solve the problem? Or is this a bug to be reported to Apple?
Thanks in advance,
mark

It's problem with your domain forwarding, see this recent thread:

Iweb hosting options - faster download time

I am using iWeb 08 and love it but I am running into problems with the download speed of my podcasts and movies. I currently am hosted by .mac but it seems their server is super slow and my 5 minute podcasts can take up to 5 minutes to load on friend's computers. They have average internet connections - some DSL and some cable - but the downloads take so long that they abandon the site before listening. Does anyone know of a good iweb compatible hosting service out there that will solve my problem, or Is there a way to speed up download times without switching to another host?

Your domainname is usborneartistry.com
Your subdomain is www.usborneartistry.com

What we will have to do with iWeb hosting?

I have build my web page, quite complicated and sofisticated, with iweb, it is hosted in idisk and redirected to a server, but I am very worried now because after some months apple will not support anymore iweb. What I will have to do? I am very confused.

The following is to reinforce Ethomid's statement about iWeb still being usable after MobileMe is gone:
It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store. To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

Iweb double-url is still showing even though I'm using a 3rd party host

A client of mine created and published a site in iweb.....she didn't even have hosting, so does iweb host files in the cloud? I deleted the site in her iweb app, changed the DNS, edited the domain file, updated to a 3rd party host, checked idisk, but im still getting the double-url (www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/index.html/) crap that iweb does....it's like iweb is overriding everything else no matter what I do....there was an index.html file that was re-directing to the double-url, which i also promptly deleted...still no change....for the life of me I can't get just a normal URL (www.mysite.com) without having the additional url that iweb adds....I have no idea how to get rid of this....even with a fresh host, it still shows up.....anyone have any ideas other than scrapping the URL and finding a new one? I've never used iweb, but I've been doing web design for 5 years and i've never seen anything like this.....on a wordpress install, the URL works with the additional crap added, but there is some trouble when trying to set a 'home' link...I get a cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi error....which is problematic....when trying to get back to the homepage.....

The iWeb Domain file is just a package where the website data is stored. Once the site is published, iWeb isn't in the picture...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/iWeb-Tips.html
iWeb publishes a folder containing all the files for the website and an external index.html file. Unlike most websites, the index.html file is just a redirect to the Home page which is the one at the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar.
There's also a copy of the index.html file inside the folder. This arrangement is so that the site will work on Apple's - soon to be defunct - server MobileMe. Perhaps this is where you client published the site?
Its not quite clear how you are trying to conect the site to Wordpress. Can you explain?
If an iWeb site is published "as is", the URL for any page is...
http://www.domain-name/folder-name/page-name.html
... where "folder-name" is the name of the site in the iWeb app which can be seen at the very top of the left column above the first or Home page name.

Iweb mobileme hosting to icloud

I realize that mobileme is offering to continue hosting my iweb site until June 2012, but I'm concerned that if I sign into iCloud that I will lose my hosting. Has anyone found an issue with their iweb hosting after beginning to use iCloud?
Thanks!

Everybody says that I can still host on MobileMe until June 30, but when I try to upload anything I get a sign-in box for MobileMe. Then when I sign in, it tells me that I've already moved to iCloud (and I have), and then I'm back to square one. How do I UPLOAD to MobileMe until June 30th?

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:

I just found out that Apple has ceased supporting iWeb! I have a large (50 pages) website developed with iWeb and hosted through GoDaddy. Is there information out there about how I can move my website pages to a supported app?

I just visited the Apple Store to investigate a new MacBook Air. I found out that iWeb is no longer supported!! I currently have a MacBook Pro that is less than 2 years old, running OS10.7.5. I have a large website that I developed using iWeb (hosted by GoDaddy). Does anyone know how I can migrate my 50+ pages to some new app? Is there some new app? Or will I have to start over from scratch? Ugh!!! Thanx.

You can still use iWeb 3 to maintain your webiste. Just copy the Domain.sites2 file from the your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your MBP to the same folder on your MacBook Air. Also copy the iWeb application from your MBP to the Applications folder on the MBA.
In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
If you want to learn about potential preplacements (which have been discussed extensively at length in this forum) do a search for "iweb replacement".

Seeking an easy way for office staff to update iWeb website

I have created a website in iWeb, hosted by GoDaddy.com, for a nonprofit organization. They would like to be able to keep the text-based information on the site updated regularly (i.e. new member list, calendar of events, etc.). Possibly two or three times per day. I am not able to train their office staff to use iWeb for this purpose. They use PCs. Is there a third party product or widget that will allow a Windows-using office clerk to visit a website or send an email and thereby update text-based information on the website? I certainly don't want them calling me every time a minor content change is needed.
