IWeb publishing without MobileMe

Hello,
I am a beginner at making my own website.  I don't have a MobileMe account and understand it's too late to get one.  iCloud says it does not offer iWeb publishing.  I have a template that I've put a few hours into on iWeb that I would like to use, although I could start over if I had to.  Just did general searches for best rated web hosting services and read about iPage and FatCow, for example.  Should I use one of these third party sites, or is there a way to keep it within the Mac family so to speak?  I need to be able to post large files like music, photos, possibly movies, and I need to be able to password protect them so only certain people can access it, and therefore avoid copyright infringement of songs, for example. 
Thank you,
Eileen

HostExcellence.com offers a package with one free domain name for $3.95/mo. with a 2 year committment.  You can choose any domain name you'ld like as long as it's not already taken. Buying all the variations is a bit much uhnless your website might be your only means of income.  HE also has a extended package for $7.95/mo with 3 free domain names.  You have lots of choices out there.

  • Iweb publishing to mobileme

    When I create a website in iweb '09 (3.0.1) and publish to mobileme, is there a way to have the website be hppt://mywebsitename.com or does it need to be http://web.me.com/mymobilemeaccountname/iweb/mywebsitename??

    Buy a domainname.
    To use a domainname, follow the instructions in your MobileMe account where you setup Personal Domain:
    https://secure.me.com/account/
    Where you'll find a link to [iWeb: Using your own domain name |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1107]
    Or read it in the [MobileMe help|http://help.apple.com/mac/1/help> : Account > Setting up a Personal Domain
    There's [a forum dedicated to MobileMe, Personal Domain and iWeb|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1163]. Though it works with other applications as well.

  • Problems with iWeb publishing to MobileMe

    Hi,
    Did you have some problems since about four days on publishing with iWeb to MobileMe? In my case, when I publish my site - and I made just little changes - iWeb publish ALL the pages.
    I early had this same problem, this spring, and it was a MobileMe problem; Apple just made a little update to the server and it was ok.
    I'm using iWeb'09
    Thanks

    With a lot of media content have you considered other ways of adding movies or audio tracks that only require you uploading those file manually once and then linking to them. For movies this demo page has one possible method: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 7 movies added that way. They don't load until the play button is selected. PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes
    For audio you can use flash players or a flash jutebox. Roddy's site, iWeb for Musicians, has examples and how-to's for both. See the following pages: Music Players and the following 3 pages after it. See the Next Page button at the bottom.
    I've got a couple of flash players on my demo page: Music Players.
    There are many alternatives to having to load all the media each time you republish.

  • Is there a movie size limit for iWeb published in MobileMe?

    I'm having trouble creating a movie page in iWeb. There's an error when I try to publish it to MobileMe.
    Is there a movie size limit? The video is 20 MB.

    I don't know what the limit is but iWeb often indicates 10MB or less is preferred. There are alternatives to adding larger movies to a web page that don't require the movie to load until the play button is selected. See this demo page for one method: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. A demo page with 7 movie files using this method can see here: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
    This second page has the other method. It is a little more involved but works nicely. Again, the move doesn't have to load until the play button is selected. It's the movie here: QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player.

  • IWeb Publishing issues MobileMe/iCloud/GoDaddy Updates

    Hello -
    I am hoping someone can provide me some insight.
    I previously created a website via iWeb and had it hosted via my MobileMe account.  With the new IOS and iCloud updates (and being that I can no longer host through MobileMe), I have transfered hosting over to GoDaddy.  I logged into MobileMe and deleted the domain, and have ensured everything is correct on the GoDaddy side of things (DNS nameservers, deletion of the old site/file folders, etc.).
    Here is the current issue: 
    I am receiving this message when attempting to pull up the site:  "To view this page, you must log in to area “me.com” on melissafoerster.com:80."
    I am confused and am not sure what else I need to do to publish my revised site.  Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for your support. 
    I have disabled the personal domain via MobileMe.
    I have deleted the CNAME record via the domain provider.
    And am currently waiting for the changes.
    I know that this is not an iWeb issue or an iCloud issue.  I will say though that because my MobileMe account expires in June and because the MobileMe settings have changed with the iCloud addition, I will no longer be able to publish there as of June and currently cannot make changes.  Just being proactive and making updates to my site now, makes me have to publish to a different provider. 
    Thank you for your help.

  • Iweb alternatives without mobileme

    Does anyone have suggestions on where to publish iweb sites now that mobileme is closed?

    You will need to find a 3rd party web host to upload your website to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
    iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder
    iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
    I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

  • Publish without mobileme - just update the header?

    Hi
    I already have my own webspace, so have decided against using mobileme.
    I have added and also deleted a page from my iWeb website. I published the new site to a folder, uploaded the new page to my webspace and removed the one I didn't want any more. All that went smoothly.
    So now all that is outstanding is to update the header to reflect the new navigation links (both pages had/have navigation links on the header).
    I have uploaded the new Script folder, and the Media folder. I have uploaded the new Welcome_Files, the welcome.html, feed.xml & index.html. The header still won't show the changes.
    I've double checked that the folder I published to, displays the new header correctly, it does.
    This is driving me mad. Please help !!

    Yes - the South America folder I have is huge - takes forever to upload, and the connection never stays up that long, so it ends up in a bit of a mess. That is my back up plan though.
    I just hoped that ever time I make a small(ish) change I didn't have to upload the whole site again.

  • IWeb published without .Mac?

    I don't want to publish it on .Mac, or have it ready to upload to a server.
    What I want is to put it on my Myspace profile frontpage.
    I feel stupid for asking, but is there any possible way to do this?
    like a string of html, css or something?

    Here are some tips for uploading to a server in case you need them:

  • Trying to publish a new iWeb site to mobileme

    My son is part of a family account I have and he is experimenting with creating a blog using iweb
    Is publisihing on Mobileme still supported?
    We are trying to publish but it's selling us to sign in (and we are signed in) and can't progress further
    I know that no future for IWeb publishing to MobileMe has been announced but is creating a new blog for an existing member of a family pack still supported?
    Thanks in advance
    James

    Yes, if you already have a MobileMe account, then you can publish until June next year.
    The Family Pack has different log in accounts, so just log out and then log in again.

  • Publishing photo's to iweb - without mobileme can it still be done? Does iweb still exist? Help

    I have bought the latest version of iPhoto but still can't seem to publish my photo page. I'm sure this is an old question that's been answered time and time again but I can't seem to find anything on this that gives a clear answer.
    Thanks

    iWeb exists but is not suported or developed anymore.
    You can still build a Photos or Albums page in iWeb and publish it...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    You would need to sign up for hosting...

    If you don't have a domain name, most hosting services will provide one free.

  • Publishing multiple iWeb accounts to mobileme

    I wish to have multiple iWeb websites published through MobileMe. I know that I can go through Go Daddy to publish sites. But that can be clumsy and is not nearly as easy as going through MobileMe. Can you purchase a 'family deal' or 'package deal,' allowing multiple iWeb accounts through MobileMe?
    Msgr. Tom

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can have as many sites published to a MMe account as there is room to house them. HOWEVER, only one site can be assigned to a domain name using the CNAME method. Any other domain names must use the URL forwarding to other sites in the same MMe account.
    A family account will let you have one site using the CNAME method of domain name forwarding per account - 5 accounts. However, you still will have to purchase the domain name to use. With a single account you can have the 5 sites with domain names for about $50 less than a family account.
    Here are some topics and sites with more info about CNAME and domain names:

  • Published my iWeb files to MobileMe but can't get to domain

    I've finally been able to publish my iWeb files to MobileMe (after 2 days of trying -- a message kept appearing that said "iWeb couldn’t publish to MobileMe. The MobileMe servers are busy. Please try again in a few minutes."), but now when I try to go to my domain name (www.julie-harrison.com) it automatically redirects to "www.web.me.com".
    Help!
    juleslarosa

    Well, have you followed all the instructions about linking your domain name to MobileMe?
    Have you entered your domain name in your MobileMe personal domain name settings? If not, then go and do this.
    You then need to go to your domain name registrar and forward your domain name to web.me.com, by going to the DNS settings and setting up a new CNAME forwarding. Have you done this? If not, then go and do it.
    You need to do all these things for your domain name to work.
    By the way, it is web.me.com. If you keep typing www.me.com, then no it won't work.
    Your url will always be http://web.me.com/username/sitename.

  • IWeb Update - Publishing to MobileMe Problem

    After running the 3.0.2 update I tested the app and all was well - or so I thought!
    I don't use MobileMe much and decided to test the claim that it "resolves some issues related to publishing sites to MobileMe". Well, of course, publishing to MobileMe wouldn't work.
    I resolved this by quitting, deleting the plist - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist. - relaunching and resetting the preferences. I also logged out and back in to MobileMe for good measure.
    I never had any problem with uploading to MobileMe before this update. I wasn't even going to bother installing it because I never use the blog or podcast. I only installed it because I saw that another user had problems with iWeb not launching properly after running the update and thought I would see if I could replicate it.
    Maybe one day we will get an iWeb update that actually works as advertised and contains something useful?

    After I went through the steps mentioned above the published site had a few items missing in the header.
    I published to a local folder to test it and this was OK. Then I re uploaded to MobileMe and this version worked.
    I only use MobileMe for test sites so this glitch is not a disaster to me.
    It would be worth while creating a small test site to troubleshoot this issue rather than using your main site.
    I don't use the blog or podcast so I have no idea if there are any problems in that area.

  • Instead of publishing to mobileme, iWeb simply crashes

    I publish to mobileme, and it just freezes and becomes unresponsive...HELP!

    A first line fix is to close iWeb, delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple. iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iWeb and see if that helps.
