.Mac hosting performance -- suggestions/insight?

I'm very interested in using iWeb 08's new Domain feature, but would like some advice.
My situation: I currently save my site "to folder" and FTP to Dreamhost. Since my site is large, the uploading process takes an awfully long time, and can be prone to upload errors. It's not an ideal setup, but I crave the user-friendly domain.
iWeb 08's new feature will help me with this. But is the switch-over from Dreamhost to .Mac hosting worth it, monetarily-speaking? How's .Mac's hosting performance/reliability? Will bandwidth be an issue?
If you've made the switch from 3rd party hosting to .Mac since 08's debut -- or have solid first-hand experience re: .Mac hosting -- I'd love to hear from you. Thanks in advance!

You're right -- I should have said hosting the content/files for the site. The domain is registered, and currently hosted by Dreamhost.
From what I understand, using iWeb 08's "publish to domain" feature, a user's .Mac account hosts the files (just like publishing to .Mac).
I'm mostly concerned about .Mac performance (load times, stability, etc.) and bandwidth. Want to make sure I'm not sacrificing the end user's experience for my convenience.

  • Hello friends recently shifted from windows to mac need some suggestion on which software to go ahead with for editing, excel,power point presentation

    Hello friends recently shifted from windows to mac need some suggestion on which software to go ahead with for creating word editing, excel,power point presentation.

    Only Microsoft's Office for Mac 2011 14.4.8 will work on your Windows Office files in their native document format. Anything else, and particularly Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote will perform translation on open, and export. This can, and will, introduce differences to your original documents, especially when sharing with others in the Windows Office 2010/2013 applications.
    Here is my short list.
    Office for Mac 2011 v14.4.8
    LibreOffice (latest)
    The current iterations of Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are not what I would term business/professional grade applications. Apple updates them infrequently, ignores user friendly features, omits others, and has introduced default backwards incompatibility between Yosemite and prior OS X releases of these applications. Read the reviews in the OS X App Store. Even for free with a recent Mac purchase, these products will transform your mood.
    The free LibreOffice is aggressively developed and designed as an MS Office replacement suite. There are occasions where it can open documents that Office for Mac, and Apple's products ignore. Extensive PDF manuals for the individual applications. Unlike Word, you can have two-up page viewing with a button click, or edit multi-page PDF. There is a forms designer. It can open nearly any document including MS Publisher and Visio documents from the Windows space. I use it.
    MS Office 2015 Preview for Yosemite is available, but as its title would suggest, it is not done yet, and some features are missing. I created a single-page Word document with a DRAFT watermark. Only LibreOffice v4.4.1 was able to open this document and preserve the watermark.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!

  • I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

  • How does the mac mini perform with cs5

    Just curious
    How does the Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the new mac mini perform with cs5 photoshop  cs6 photoshop?
    thanks
    Ted

    Jeff, I appreciate your comment, so you haven't had any problem with using the painttools in CS 6 photoshop and the 3d type etc, in other words all the features that CS6 photoshop has.
    I was thinking about buying the mac mini but was concerned how it works with CS 5 (which I have) I will have to take another look at the MiniMac server with the 3000 card. I do a lot of Digital Painting primarily Painter 12.2 but and would like to use the Painter brushes in CS 5 ( have not upgraded to CS 6.) My Imac is 6 years old and really is not fast enough.
    Thanks for replying

  • I'd like to buy an all-one print, scan, fax wireless laser printer for my Mac.  Any suggestions?

    Any suggestions for a laser all-one, wireless, print, scan, fax printer for my Mac Air?
    Suggestions gratefully accepted.

    Yes printers (their drivers mostly) can become obsolete. Laser printers are so inexpensive I would lean that direction (often new ink cost more than a new printer). That being said when you combine functions you make sacrifices. A laser printer/fax would be, in my opinion, the way to go. If you need a scanner I would make it separate.
    I have had good luck with HP - the school district I worked for also used (standardized) to HP. At times Epson has worked well with Mac's - and then there are other times. I think as long as you stay with a top tier brand (look at what Apple is bundling with their new sales) you'll be all right.
    Of course you budget, the number of times you expect to scan, fax and print should drive the decision.
    I have a ~$100 Brother Laser Printer networked through my Mac Pro (it prints wirelessly) and has done so for going on 10 years. I have an HP Photosmart 6800 about the same age. As you can tell I'm not a fan of AIO's.

    I have a new IMAC with lion.  When I use the migration tool from my PC to the new Mac, it takes about 2 hours to transfer my photos and address book, etc.  However, when completed, I cannot locate any of the transfered material on the Mac!  Any suggestions?

    You have posted to the older PPC iMac forum.  You need to poster to a newer iMac forum.
    I suggest posting here:

    Hi Tommy,
    Using install discs created for another computer is the problem. I suggest you get a stand alone install disc for Leopard and give that a try. I know it's a bummer since you have a perfectly good install disc but you can't take an install disc from a new computer and use it to update an older computer. As a matter of fact you would have problems using your install disc on the same type of computer if it didn't have the same build number. In the old days of Power Macs that wasn't an issue. You could take an install disc for one computer and update every Mac you owned. Sorry.

  • I'm new to Macbook Pro, and never imagined I would have problems saving bookmarks when I switched to Mac.  Any suggestions with this issue?  And has Apple come up with a permanent fix?

    I'm new to Macbook Pro, and never imagined I would have problems saving bookmarks when I switched to Mac.  Any suggestions with this issue?  I have Safari 6.0.4, and has Apple come up with a permanent fix?

    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

    It has taken almost 2 weeks for i tunes to download i photo to my Mac. Any suggestions??

    What system are you running?  Can you access the App Store via the App Store application that's in the Applications folder. If you don't have the App Store applicaton then you probably don't have a new enough system to run the iPhoto 9.4.2 app.
    Or are you trying to download the iPhoto for iOS app for use on an iPhone or iPad?
    You'll need to fill in those questions and give more detail before we can help.

    MacBook Air, Mid2013, MacOS 10.9.2
    I tried to erase the HD of my Mac; Apple Support suggested to restart the computer pressing cmd + R, then select "Utility Disk", then Mac HD, and choose "Erase", the option "Security Options" should be available, but it was not
    I was able to erase the disk and reinstall the OS but not to choose the option to overwrite the disk, as the official Apple Support said previously.
    I called again them, this time I was said that with an SSD disk the security option (overwrite the disk) is not available, and that is it, no way out; and they added very kindly that if I sell my Mac, the buyer could bring it to a Tech Center and they could eventually recover the data on it, even though this may be expensive
    Is there anyone that has any suggestion to protect the data before selling a Mac; the guys at Apple Official Support did not seem very concerned about this

    I was unable to access the laptop last night to create a new user; however my client would perfer not to try a second account since that would make it unusable for him while we test the second profile.
    Also John Sophos was installed after this started to verify that it was not a virus/malware (I know pointless step but it has happened to me before) so I don't think that is the problem

  • .mac host more than one domain at a time????

    can . mac host more than one of my domains at a time?????
    thanks

    can . mac host more than one of my domains at a time?????
    .Mac doesn't host domain names. If you are talking about web sites, you can have as many sites as will fit in your storage space. You can also use url forwarding to point to as many sites as you want.
    The right place to ask questions about .Mac and domains is probably:
