IWeb sites new host options

Any suggestions?

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.

How to create iWEB site from OLD iWEB site? (Hosted)

Okay, so the domain is corrupt.
I have the site hosted and downloaded it via FTP, wondering two things, well one really, is there a way to rebuild the site since I have all the folders, assets, html pages, and images? If so, how?
I suppose I can rebuild it page by page but want to change the theme and since I have the folders, was wondering if there was a way I can take the downloaded pages and somehow drag them to iWEB or some other MAC WEB program.
Please advise, also, any other cool programs for iWEB or web design similar to Pulp Motion, Banner Zest, and how to make a site use flash without flash?
Am also curious what else there is out there so the site doesn't look so iWeb and have the ability to change the fonts on say, WELCOME< ABOUT, HOME, and also use flash.
Have used dream weaver, not to inspiring albeit the standard.
Thanks

If you decide to rebuild with iWeb Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

IWeb Site, GoDaddy hosting

Been having major problems with GoDaddy, anybody had trouble with them
They are driving me nuts, It took 5 days of emails just to get the site up, then two JS slideshows can't be found, the problem is on-going!
Anyone?

Tom,
Upped the site via transmit, files went up no problem. After numerous emails to GD I finally got the site up. Only to be told by GD that to run the two JS slideshow pages I would have to upgrade, which I did. It took three days to 'migrate' (GD's description) the site to the new plan. Then zero. no site at all. GD keep telling me to change various settings, which I did, and the site is still not up. Today after a further two days of waiting the site is up, well of course without the slideshow pages, they are there but the links to the GD server cannot find the pages. So I am back were I started from.
Well actually it gets worse, the two slideshow folders I uploaded with Transmit, have the old names I assigned them before there was a problem (I re-named them, because I thought it may have been part of the reason they would not load). After deleting all the files from the GD server using Transit, and uploading the new files with new names, the links to the slideshows still have the old link names, also to make matters worse I now cannot delete the folders from the GD server using Transmit (a permissions problem the message says). I have of course contacted GD with the latest 'development' but I am hoping, probably in vain, you or some other kind soul may offer some insight!
Here's hoping
Thanks in advance

Movie freezes on my new iWeb site

Just tried to publish my movie (1G) (new user) to my new iWeb site (new user)... It takes forever to load (is the file too big?) and then when finally loaded it freezes with ever other photo or so and will not play smoothly. It's been frustrating and I would really appreciate your help! Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, a 1 G movie is way too big for a web site. How did you create the movie? Have you looked into ways to reduce it's size. Quicktime Player can reduce a movie's size to meet several criteria as shown in the File->Export for Web settings window:
Click to view full size
That can reduce it somewhat. If you bring the movie into iMovie you can export it to a MobileMe gallery in multiple sizes to fit the viewer's internet connection speed and device.
Click to view full size
The resulting gallery can be inserted into a web page using iFrame code and an HTML snippet as in this demo page: Adding a MMe Gallery from iMovie 09. This is predicated on you having a MobileMe account where you're hosting the site.
A way to add the movie to a page and have the page load fully without having to have the movie load are demonstrated here:
Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window
QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player
Still another alternative would be to convert the movie to flash and use that. Flash conversions are generally much smaller than Quicktime files. You can learn more about that at:
http://roddymckay.com/VisualMedia/FlashVideo.html
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Movies.html
The bottom line is: 1 GB is way too large.

When I open iWeb it does not "Highlight" the New site or new page options. It ahs had this issue for over a year! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it. What do I do? It opens the tutorial video, then when you close it, nothing else is clickable.

Open iPhoto, select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option. That has jump started iWeb for others. I could take a couple of tries.
If that doesn't work try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iiWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder.

3 - launch iWeb and try again.

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

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?

Transferring iweb site to new hosting

Q: Transfering my iweb account to a new hosting - it used to be hosted by mobile me
I am new to this forum, so expect a delay while I work out how to reply!

Yes, replying takes some time to learn.

And regarding your Q. browse this forum. Your problem may have been dealt with several times a day, every day for the past year.

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

Can't Upload new iWeb Site

Ok, so I had my old iWeb site uploaded everything was great. I modified the look and now I can't seem to get the **** thing uploaded. I have tried three different programs. I've tried Cyberduck, Fetch, and one I saw on here Easy iWeb Publisher v1.2.3.
Every freak'n time I try they disconnect on me. For example, Cyberduck and Fetch timeout and disconnect on the 'about us.css' file. it's only 4K, but it will not load it. What is going on? I'm so completely frustrated. I leave for LA in one day and I need to get this site uploaded. Please help!

I would roll with you on that one, except my old site
had the exact same titles and it worked fine. I have
been trying to upload this new version of our site
for a full 24 hours and yet I only have about 4 pages
loaded. iWeb really need to have ftp features with
options to choose publish only changed pages, etc.
This really has nothing to do with iWeb. The current various dedicated ftp programs have more options than iWeb would ever likely have itself. Any problems you are having are the result of issues with your host or your connection or your ftp operation. Your host ought to be able to look at logs and find out what's going wrong and fix it.

Can BC host an iWeb site

A friend of mine is currently using iWeb for her site and I was wondering if I could take her files and upload them to BC and host it for her there?
Thanks so much!
Annette

Ok, this was a pretty basic site. I don't even think she had a contact form; just a home page, about us, and a couple other pages that had a couple pictures and text. So maybe that would translate over correctly? I was doing some research and it looks like in iWeb, when you hit publish it gives you the option of sending it to another host so do you think I might be able to send it to BC?
Sorry, I'm very new to all this! I use Muse for my sites but I'm trying to help a friend get her iWeb site back up and running (she took it down a few months ago) without it being too difficult for her.
Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Is there any way to upload iWeb files updates only with a 3rd party ftp program to a new hoster, e.g. Godaddy? I see no posts newer than 2007

Pointing iweb site to a new domain

Can anyone give me the answer.
I have published my site on my .mac account.
I then brought a domain from web-mania.com
I now want to point my new domain name to the website on my .mac account.
I have emailed web-mania with no joy as they keep coming back saying that they don't host sites and i can't make them understand that my site is hosted on dotmac and all i want to do is just point my new website to that domain.
Help Help this site was meant to be up and running a week ago.

I'm having the same sort of issue, but I think I figured it out. The only thing is . . .they say it could be 48 hours before it works. Anway, I purchased mine from "godaddy.com" and the instructions I followed were to add the "CNAME" also referred to as a DNS control panel, MX record or Alias (you'll find this option under your account manager probably). The CNAME for iWeb galleries is "web.mac.com" . I'm hoping this works for me, and I hope it helps you too! I have plans with a friend that is an expert tonight, so I'm going to pick his brain and figure it out, I'll report back if what I've told you is wrong!

Moved iWeb before MobileMe shut down but need new host, please help

Hello all,
I successfully moved my iWeb site to a new host before MobileMe shut down and I remember a discussion offering lots of hosting sites that were good and free and some for pay. I cannot find that discussion or the sites, although I thought I bookmarked them, there was one I even called and they were great but I can't find that bookmark UGHHHH.
So can you all please recommend me your faves and how good their customer service it. I am using NYPWH.com and have been for years for a site I never changed and now that I have to do some stuff to the new iWeb site, I find they are a little impatient with me, especially as technically challenged as I am.
Thanks so much for the help.

Each of the web hosting companies that were mentioned, are unique in their own ways. I just wanted to clear up a couple of things to hopefully give you a better idea of which host might suit you best.
First, godaddy is a powerhouse in the domain registration and hosting department, but what I've noticed over the last little while is a large increase in price. I used to recommend GoDaddy to users who are price senstitive but now I advise against.
The other thing that concerns me about some of the other hosts is that they often offer introductory rates to entice their buyers. Once a user signs up and uses their services for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, whatever it may be, the user will often have to pay a much higher rate when that introductory term is over. This is something I personally do not like, and as a consumer, I don't think it's a very fair way to get people to use a service. And the most important thing for an iWeb user, is that these big companies don't really know iWeb very well.
MacMate is more of a MobileMe replacement, and a better option for iWeb users who will want to take advantage of customer support geared towards an iWeb user. I like that they saw a need for a MobileMe replacement and are delivering. Their price is a bit high though, but still in line with the second-term prices of some of the other companies.
Rage software does offer all of the services of an ordinary host. So I think there was some mininformation there. The things I like about Rage is they've been a pretty big part of the iWeb community for many years, so their support team knows iWeb in and out. A quick look at their price shows that they are actually one of the cheaper hosts ($5/month on the 3 year term, no introductory rate or more expensive rate upon renewal). They also provide their well known iWeb SEO Tool software for free to their hosting customers, which is a pretty big bonus in my opnion. Also, take a look at all their videos showing tips and tricks for iWeb users http://youtube.com/ragesw
So to summarize, I'm not really fond of those bigger companies that offer the introductory rates and then jack the prices when the user needs to renew. I like the idea of MacMate, and it seems like a good alternative solution to MobileMe to users who don't mind paying a bit extra to receive similar services to MobileMe. I like Rage because of price, iWeb support, and the free software, so they would be my recommendation. Use Rage software and dropbox if you're a user looking to replace iDisk. It's free, fast, syncs with all your computers, iPads, iPhones, etc.
I hope this was helpful and gives users a better idea about the hosting companies that are out there.

What are the web host options that will work with iWeb?

What are the web host options that will work with iWeb?

Most website hosting services will work with iWeb created sites so long as you choose a Linux account.
If you are new to FTP, you should choose a host who has good 24/7 tech support in your language of choice.
A couple of examples are shown here...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
The first one allows a trial period and a 30 day money back deal. The second has a free version which you can subsequently upgrade to a paid one with more facilities once you are satisfied with its performance. This means you don't have to commit or pay until you are satisfied and have learned the techniques.
iWeb gives you two options for publishing via FTP...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
The latter method allows you to add tags for SEO...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/SEO.html
... and to optimize iWeb's bloated code for faster download performance in the browser...

When icloud replaces mobile me, will it stop hosting all iweb sites.

When icloud replaces mobile me, will it stop hosting all iweb sites.
If so, what are the millions of iweb users meant to do.
From the notes I have seen, kindlyt sent out by apple, we need to buy Domain space on servers now.
Are there any better ways?
I really hope apple can update iweb, as its an amazing apple app, and if they do it may make the pain fo having to live without mobiel me hosting a bit easier!

It is now is apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD. 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
◼ RSS Feed Widget
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
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.
I would imagine that iWeb and iDVD will be dropped from future boxed versions of iLife if there are boxed versions. However, there may be some copies of the boxed iLife 11 still on the shelves that would include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
