.Mac site to personal domain

Hi all,
does any of you know how is it possible that a .Mac site is transferred to a personal domain? It's not redirected: both sites are identical.
See here

Thanks.

You don't have to transfer anything.
With a Personal Domain your pages are stil on MMe. You have to add a CNAME at your registrar.
Go to your MME account and click Personal domain.
https://secure.me.com/account/
Then click +Find a Help topic+. Then click Account.
If on the other hand you mean to host your webpages at some provider, then you have to publish to a folder and upload the folder to that host.

Uploading iWeb site to personal domain via FTP client (NOT .MAC)

Hello,
I want to upload my iweb created website to my personal domain, in other words I do not want my domain to point to my .mac address.
I am downloading Cyberduck as my FTP client. Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain? Will it be in the right order? How will I update each day? (Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site. Will this work? I am totally lost, I had no idea I needed so much background info to blog outside of .mac! I guess I just want to design with iweb, and be able to use all the tools of my AN Hosting and wordpress.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain?
You send the folder created by iWeb which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iWeb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb created alongside that folder.
How will I update each day?
By publishing again to a folder and uploading again via ftp.
(Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
No. If iWeb could do that you would not need an ftp program to start with.
I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site.
No idea, but generally speaking modifying iWeb to add stuff requires manual editing of the html after publishing and redoing it every time you republish.

Multiple Web Sites with Personal Domain Names - Overview

I have read through the last 10 pages of these discussions and have almost worked this out, but I need some help.
Problem:
I want to publish and edit two separate web sites with their own, individual, personal web addresses
from the same user account on the same Mac using iWeb '08 (2.0.2) and my .Mac account
_So far:_
I have purchased and registered the two domain names (with Cheap-DomainRegistration.com)
I have configured the CNAME to point to web.mac.com, and "Set up a Personal Domain" in iWeb successfully, but using a separate Mac for each web site.
The two sites work great.
_What (I think) I need to know:_
(excuse me for copying these posts out, but I can't find a way to link them to this post)
1) Should I be using iWebSites as suggested by Old Toad (posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
2) Should I be using Mireille's approach (also posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
Yes you are correct in the thought that with a family pack you can use different accounts and that is the easiest way to upload with one click to .mac. But it is still possible to publish differents sites to one .mac account if that is all one has. Even if the sites are in one domain file each purchased mysite.com domain name purchased can be pointed to a different page in the site
Look at it this way
Original Poster has
site1 page 1 page 2 and so on
then he/she has brothersite page 1 and so on.
They each have a domain name purchase wherever
then site1domain.com is forwarded to site 1 page1
and brotherdomain.com is forwarded to brothersite page 1.
Even though both sites are in the same file they do not have anything to do with each other.
This is one possibility there are others but for a novice user this could be the way to go for simplicity.
(Mireille, if you're there, can you clarify what you said - thank you)
3) Would I use Roddy's fix (posted Jan 23 in response to canadensis' "Publishing Multiple Websites?")?
Here's an example of how you can separate two websites that are on the same domain file.
Quit iWeb
Create a new folder on your desktop and call it "iWeb Sites".
Inside this folder create two more - Website A, Website B.
Go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and copy your domain file - command C
Paste this into folders A and B - command V - and also paste a copy of it somewhere else - like in Docs - in case you make a mistake!
Double click the domain file in the folder Website A - this will launch iWeb.
In the left column, delete site B, save and quit iWeb.
Double click the domain file in the folder Website B to launch iWeb.
Delete website A, save and quit.
Drop the iWeb sites folder into your Home Folder.
If you want quick access to this folder you can highlight it and do command L to create an alias to leave on the desktop.
From now on, to launch any site in iWeb you open its folder in the iWebsites folder and double click the domain file.
This is not necessary when you are working on only one site as iWeb saves the domain file of the last site you were working on to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb. When you open the iWeb application, the last site you worked on will be launched.
Summary:
I'm not sure if some of the answers in previous discussions allow for personal domain names, which is what I need.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions as I'm getting bogged down.
Many Thanks,
Jeff

When you said, "you don't need to do CNAME for both sites…", would this method still allow me to use personal web addresses for both sites?
Yes. With "Ordinary Forwarding" you normally just type your .Mac url (web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place where you have your name.
I thought I was using 'web.mac.com' as the 'www' CNAME (alias) for my personal domain name (web address), so that when someone typed in my personal domain name they would 'go' to the domain registration location, which would then pass it on to the .Mac server, where my web site is hosted.
That's exactly right. It's just not the only way to do that. Ordinary Forwarding is another way, but it differs in terms of what appears in the address bar of the browser. Either you will see web.mac.com/username/.... or, if you add "masking", you will see your personal name for all pages. The CNAME method results in a address bar that reads www.myname.com/sitename/pagename.html.
Am I way off?
All help gratefully received,
Jeff

Returning multiple sites from personal domain to iweb domain

I have a family web site that I've posted to my .mac account. I've been asked to update another web site for a preschool that had been created previously by another mac user. She emailed me the domain and I was able to open it and make edits. I created two separate folders to keep the domain files separate. A few problems have happened since:
First, I can still access my personal account in both iweb and via the internet, but the address that appears at the bottom of the page is now the preschool address. I want this account to remain hosted on my imac account.
Secondly, for the preschool, the site should be hosted on personal domain. The site does show up on the bottom of that site (the same now as my personal one). What I would like it to post a temporary version of the password protected revised site on my .mac account until I am ready to replace the one that is currently up.
So, I guess my biggest question for the moment is how do I return both sites to the .mac host until I am ready to upload one of them onto the preschool personal domain?
When I go to the iweb folder in my idisk I can not move the folders containing the separate sites.
I have read other posts regarding multiple domains and they have not fully addressed this issue.
Many thanks, Emily.

Was the other mac user using the personal domain (CName) feature of iWeb?
Were you using it as well with your family site?
This might be the problem, as you can only use the personal domain feature with one iWeb site.

.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.

Multiple sites and personal domain

Hi everyone!
I'm having a problem with iWeb 08. Here's the details:
Using iWebsite and iWeb '08 I've created 2 websites, one for personal use and one for my business.
Now I'm interested in buying a personal domain for my business website.
How can I do to set the personal domain only to my business site, leaving the personal one unchanged?
Cheers,
Samuele

An easy way to manage multiple sites is either iWebSites or MultiSite.
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Works for me.

Uploading iweb layout/site to personal domain

I'm using FireFTP through Firefox to upload my site designed on iWeb. However, once uploaded and I visit my site images don't show up, fonts are wrong and some text doesn't show.
I'm getting really frustrated, I've tried the other free FTP's and they don't work either. How do I fix this problem?

Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain?
You send the folder created by iWeb which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iWeb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb created alongside that folder.
How will I update each day?
By publishing again to a folder and uploading again via ftp.
(Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
No. If iWeb could do that you would not need an ftp program to start with.
I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site.
No idea, but generally speaking modifying iWeb to add stuff requires manual editing of the html after publishing and redoing it every time you republish.

How to publish to .Mac instead of personal domain

Hello All,
I'm making a website for a course I am on, and the first idea was to post the site onto the domain of another guy in course. So I followed the Mac instructions and now every time I want to publish it goes to the outside website instead of my .Mac account. How do I change things so that the site publishes to my .Mac account instead of the external one? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Walt

Lori,
I tried that, but it still loads to AP278.com instead of my .Mac. I'm trying to put my http://web.mac.com/username account, I'll see if that works. In the meantime, any other suggestions?

From .Mac Trial to Personal Domain.

Guys,
I started publishing my website to a .Mac Trial Account while I was preparing my own domain. No that I bought my own address, I want to move my site to another host, how can I do it?
Thanks.
JP

Is that host your other (not dotMac) domain?
If so, publish to a folder and upload that folder to the server.

Post .mac site to another domain name still on mac server?

I have both a domain name that is .mac and a .biz url. I do not have another server to upload to (I just own the domain name), and would like to use my .mac website designed using iweb '06 v.1.1.2 and load it on the mac server but have the .biz url be the url the public will use... this is for a business website. How do I do this?
The directions in all the help files assume the use of another server holding the domain name... maybe this is a requirement, but seems to be a waste to have a .mac account but have to have such a convoluted url for the public.
Is this possible?

Hi there,
little correction: they don't assume having another server. They assume having it registered from a domain registrar. Which is quite different. You have to tell the domain registrar to point the domain to .mac.
This page may help... At least I hope it does...

Using Personal Domain

Hello
Thanks to Roddy for advice re. inserting Google maps - I think users in UK are going to have a lot of trouble ! The required address format is so specific that most people will get it wrong. Mac have used an address format which just isn't used for normal purposes. You have to stumble upon the correct format by trial and error.
Right now I have a major problem regarding pointing iMac site at Personal domain. I have two sites within my iWeb 08 program, and I have taken the neccesary steps to point one of them ( http://web.mac.com/peterdewit1/toymaker ) to http://www.peterdewittoymaker.co.uk.
It will be transferred over the next day or so, but it indicates below the iWeb window that the other site built in iWeb ( http://www.peterdewitscafe.co.uk ) has also been pointed to the same peterdewittoymaker site. It is all very confusing.
I dont know how to disentangle this mess.
.Mac/iWeb seems to treat both of my iWeb sites as one site, divided into a toymaker bit and a cafe bit!!!
HELP ! ! !
toymaker1

Okay, I have waited a period of 48 hours for updates to be be done with my domain name:
jimleonard.com.au. NS dns1.domaincentral.net.au. 3600 Auto Active Yes
jimleonard.com.au. NS dns2.domaincentral.net.au. 3600 Auto Active Yes
jimleonard.com.au. CNAME web.mac.com. 3600 Manual Active Yes
jimleonard.com.au. A 17.250.248.34 3600 Manual Active Yes
www.jimleonard.com.au. CNAME web.mac.com. 3600 Manual Active Yes
Config is fine @ .mac:
Personal Domain
.Mac is configured to host your domain:
www.jimleonard.com.au
If you entered the correct settings at your registrar more than 48 hours ago and your iWeb site still doesn't appear at your domain, try these troubleshooting tips.
I have also made changes and uploaded to"all.mac" I am still unable to see the site with the Domain, all is fine as the .Mac address:
http://web.mac.com/jimleonard/Travel/Jim_and_SuzieTravels.html
Have I missed the point?

Subscribe button and personal domain name

Hi,
Is the subscribe button on my podcast page still supposed to work if I publish to .mac using my personal domain name? It doesn't seem to work for my pages. Here are two pages where the subscribe button is invalid:
http://web.mac.com/SHIRTLESS/POETRY/POETRY_PODCASTS/Archive.html
http://web.mac.com/SHIRTLESS/POETRY/POETRYPODCASTS/POETRYPODCASTS.html
If anyone can solve this problem, many thanks.
regards,
shirtless

Yes, because you are publishing to .Mac and just forwarding to a personal domain. Some things don't work when you use ftp to publish directly.
Have you made sure that all the correct boxes are checked inside the Inspector in iWeb that are relevant to the podcast page?

Publishing iWeb site to .Mac personal domain

I set up Personal Domain on .Mac & added the cname on my account with Network Solutions & are waiting for the changes to take effect now. But I have 2 sites in iWeb. How do I get the right site on the personal domain.

Hi again,
My Problem is that it is not clear how to redirect mlwhall.com --> www.mlwhall.com
Since CNAME is for aliases, I am not sure how to point mlwhall.com since that is the root name. The A (host) will only take an IP address, so I assume that if I am going to do this I need to do it in the CNAME section (pinging did not get me a useable IP address). I cannot believe I am the only person that wants to do this -- setting up domain forwarding does not seem to work either
Is it not common for people to want to have www.blah.com and blah.com to resolve to the same place?
----Martin----
And yes -- I meant to say that I made a CNAME alias for www that points to web.mac.com as pointed out in the personal domain instructions.

Personal Domain Name HELP - 2 names, 2 sites, 1 .Mac Account?

Hey,
I need some help and advice about personal domain names and making them work with .Mac.
In iWeb (v1.1.2) I have created a Digital Portfolio, and then I have a writing site which I'm going to launch in the summer when I have plenty of time to redesign it - that site has four other created sites linked it to.
Anyway, on my CV I want to put a webaddress, but I'm not wanting the .Mac *http://web.mac.com/username/iweb/sitename.* I want something like: www.sitename.co.uk. However, I want one address for my Digital Portfolio, and then another later for my Writing Site (www.writingsitename.co.uk).
Can this be done?
I've started looking for domain names, and www.123-reg.co.uk and www.ukreg.com seem to have the best prices. Anyone used them? Or suggest something else?
Thanks for any help, information and advice.

If you upgrade to iWeb 2 in iLife '08 you can use the Personal Domain feature; click here:

Personal domain and regular .Mac site

I would like to create my own personal website (like usual on .Mac in my personal area) and then also post another domain I own to my .Mac area. How does it know which site to "publish" to? Or can you only have one website in iWeb '08?
Thanks.

If I put in myname.com without the www. it also comes up fine.
This isn't a .Mac problem. You need to go to the place where you have your name and make sure the www CNAME is set to web.mac.com, or forward the short version of your name to the www version.
