Multiple domain names for iWeb on .mac account

I've managed to get the iWeb site I created uploaded onto a domain name i created (eg www.abc123.com). I had to change the domain name on my .mac account. The thing is it only allows you to enter 1 domain name. Now I have purchased 3 domain names, one for myself, one for my business and one for my mothers business. Is there a way round this because at the moment I can't get round it. Thanks.

Hi Ben,
If using .Mac hosting and other hostings as well you can have multiple domains pointed to different sites so that each site will have yourdomain.com. However on .Mac you can have only one CNAME, the other personal domains should be WebForward or WebForward with cloaking.
- WebForward: after you typed yourdomain.com in the browser you get forwarded to web.mac.com/username/ and web.mac.com/username/ will display in the browser
- WebForward with Cloaking (also called masking): after you typed yourdomain.com in the browser yourdomain.com will display in the browser and don't change while people browse through your website
- CNAME yourdomain.com will display instead of web.mac.com/username/ and while browsing through your website it will look like yourdomain.com/sitename/nameofpagepeoplelookatnow.html
If you're using Godaddy this is how to setup WebForwarding

  • Can I point a domain name at my web.mac account?

    Hi there, first time poster.
    I was just wondering if there was a way for one to point a domain name to a site that I've built on iweb? And if it is possible, how to find out the information that I would need to point the domain name the web.mac account?
    thanks in advanced.

    Its easy, usually all you have to do is look for "domain name forwarding" with your provider and your in as we say in Australia. Who is your provider?

  • Multiple domain names

    Can you have multiple domain names for your website? I
    thought that you could, but I don't know how to use dreamweaver do
    this. I'm using a host that has both of my domain names, and they
    use the same login and password. I wonder if this is the problem?
    My second domain name has it's own manage site folder in
    Dreamweaver, but it brings up the information from my first site
    (same login and password).
    Any help here? Thank you.

    > but I don't know how to use dreamweaver do this
    You don't. You ask your host to set an alias for alternate
    domain names.
    For example, my domain,
    http://www.great-web-sights.com
    also has this domain
    set as an alias -
    http://www.great-web-sites.com.
    As another example, this
    client's domain -
    http://www.squarewheelindustries.com
    - also has this
    domain as an alias -
    http://www.trailertester.com.

  • How to set Netbios/Partial Qualified Domain name for a Mac?

    Is it possible to set a Netbios/Partial Qualified Domain name for a Mac the way one sets it for a PC? If so, where can this be set? Apparently, this is what my router uses to report clients connected by DHCP.
    Mike

    You're looking for something completely different if
    what you're after is to have your DHCP server (your
    router) report your computer name.
    yep - that's what I'm looking for but everything else didn't pan out so I'm following up the suggestion of our IT guy (which is that it reports the Netbios name).
    I don't know what brand or model of router you're
    using but with a Linksys brand router it reports the
    yep - I've got a Linksys, about 2 years old (802.11b).
    computer name, which is set on your Mac under Apple
    menu --> System Preferences... --> Sharing. The
    Linksys router will report the computer name
    typically found under Status --> Local Network -->
    DHCP Clients Table.
    nope - I've got it set as "Michael Levin Laptop", but the Linksys router shows it (and all of the other Macs on the network) as "¸#Єª"... Any way to debug this?
    What you'll notice is that none of this has anything
    to do with Windows. Today's basic networking is
    platform agnostic.
    I thought so; it was a desperation move, based on my IT person's suggestion...
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Mike

    that did not work - I have a name entered in the
    Sharing preference menu, and it does not show up.
    Did you try setting the "DHCP Client ID" in the Network pane of System Preferences?
    Even doing this may not work though... I know I had trouble getting a host name to show up correctly at my work. The DHCP server had picked up the previous name of my system and there didn't seem to be anything I could do from the client side to get it changed. The old system name was associated with my machines MAC address in the DHCP server and nothing I did from the client seemed to allow me to refresh the name the server had already latched onto. The network guys eventually had to delete the entry for my system off of the DHCP server and then allow my system to request a new IP address and refresh it's entry in the server. I have no idea how you might do something like this on a LinkSys router. I suppose the DHCP servers that run on these little personal routers are pretty rudimentary. I guess you might try doing some sort of reset on the router to see if it would reload client names. Or if you have your router configred to only allow connections from specific MAC addresses you might try deleting the entry for your Mac and then adding it back to see if that would trigger it to pick up a new client name.
    sorry; I started a new thread because my question
    is now much more focused. Someone told me the
    Linksys router gets that info from the netbios name,
    so I figured I should ask that specific question
    with that specific subject title - maybe someone
    knows how to specify this netbios name for a Mac,
    but might not know or care anything about routers
    and my specific problem.
    It seems understandable that PCs would send their NetBIOS names to a DHCP server... but it seems to me that a Mac would send it's "sharing" name. I doubt that a LinkSys router would specifically request a NetBIOS name, but I don't really know... I don't have any experience with them. I suppose you could try turning on "Window Sharing" in system preferences to see it that made you Mac look more like a Windows box to the router. :^\

  • Personal Domain Names in iWeb/MobileMe?

    Why is it that MobileMe will now not accept UK domain names? I have a .co.uk domain name and can no longer use it with the new MMe.
    When I first started to use iWeb and .Mac I purchased a UK domain name and had it entered in the personal domain name section and .Mac accepted it with no problem at all and I had my site redirected using the CNAME option for a long time.
    Now .Mac has become MobileMe, it will no longer accept UK domain names, only domains ending in .com, .net, .org etc. Due to this, I can no longer use the personal domain name option of my MMe account and I did not want to re-direct to my domain using web forwarding so have had to publish my site to a folder and ftp up to my host server space. Now I don't mind doing this, as it does not take that long and the whole site loads more quickly anyway, but I would just like to know why MMe does not now accept UK domain names now when .Mac always used to?
    This is irritating because it means that I am not able to use my MMe account to the full and as I live and work in the UK it did seem more appropriate to purchase a UK domain name rather than a .com or a .net.
    Perhaps Apple should look at this again, as not accepting UK domain names excludes a lot of British users!!

    What the heck is wrong with some people on this site! The guy was simply asking for advice!
    I got a similar snotty reply from someone in a post I made in which I was simply asking for advice from other users.
    I thought this was a SUPPORT Forum? Sheesh!
    Anyway, I am glad that Ethmoid posted about MobileMe and the problem with it and .co.uk domains. I was thinking of signing up to MobileMe and using iWeb for my blog and having it redirected to a .ie domain. But if this problem keeps up then it looks like I won't.
    Happy happy forum!

  • How to confiture virtual hosts with multiple domain names

    hello,
    I've read through some of the postings here on virtual hosts, but I thought I'd better solicit advice before I actually try some of the things I've read about.
    In a nutshell, I've purchased multiple domain names that I'd like to alias to a new site (currently it is just a subfolder in the main site directory) on my OS 10.3.x server. There is only the one main site configured right now on the box, so I know I need to set up a second "virtual site" pointing to the files in this subfolder to make it function as its own site.
    I've dabbled around with the sites settings in the GUI, but I'd probably be most comfortable setting all this up in the httpd.conf by hand if I could. But I'm weary of this because I know it might be better to use the GUI because of OS X Server's flavor of WebObjects and Apache (sigh).
    So, I have two main questions:
    1) How would I set up this second site using the GUI in server settings? Do I need to first move the subfolder out of the main folder before it can be designated its own site? Or can I just point to it in the GUI? Can I use one of my purchased domain names in the domain field?
    2) Currently, I have URL Forwarding set with my multiple domain names, but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do this? For SEO I'd rather use some type of redirect rather than being penalized by search engines for having what looks to be multiple domains pointing to the same site.I'm thinking I should create virtual sites for each domain name I've purchased with a hard redirect back to the main site?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    thank you for your reply.
    > You can create each site as a new Site in Server
    Admin. When you do this you can choose any
    directory on disk as the document root for each
    site.This means you can move the sites' folders out of
    /Library/WebServer/Documents if you like - you could
    create /Library/WebServer/site1,
    /Library/WebServer/site2, etc. (or even be outside of
    /Library/WebServer if you want).
    so, are you are saying that I could designate one site to be
    /Library/WebServer/Documents/site1
    and another to be
    /Library/WebServer/Documents/site1/directory1
    even though directory1 is contained within site1's structure? I'm not advancing this as a good idea, necessarily. I'm just wondering if Apache would complain.
    > Each site should have the domain name set as per your
    registered domains. Apache will need this to
    determine the correct site to serve for each
    request.
    Well, after some additional research I'm thinking I'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle. That being access to the DNS host server that manages the context of my server. I have purchased domain names through an outside registrar that point to my site and I can create virtual hosts on my server, but I don't have the ability to add the new virtual host names into the DNS server that manages my box. If that makes sense. Or maybe I'm missing something?
    >
    I'm not sure why you're using URL forwarding at all.
    Without that piece of information it's impossible to
    tell you whether you should continue using them or
    not - in general there's no need to use URL
    forwarding if you have multiple Virtual Hosts setup,
    but it sounds like you have multiple hostnames
    pointing to the same content, so your needs may be
    different.
    I'm using forwarding for the reason I list above. I didn't purchase hosting with the registrar where I purchased my domain names, so they are parked on the registrar's name server with URL forwarding to my server. The DNS server that manages my box resides in a different location and I don't have the ability to add DNS entries pointing to virtual hosts that I want to set up. Am I stuck?

  • Using Multiple Domain Names to Access Our Portal

    We operate one domain corp.company.com but all internal intranet web servers get  assigned the address inside.ZZZ. The inside.ZZZ is on our IE exclusion list but company.com is not. Adding company.com seems to be a miserable task so we are looking at adding an alias so our users can access the server at the new inside.ZZZ url. We have DNS pointing the URL to the right server and that seems to be working properly.
    Something within the application is redirecting the page to gnwhepdev.corp. company .com (our server’s domain address) after the initial login.  Since *.corp. company .com is not in the exclusion list, it is considered an outside address and rerouted.  We are trying to find some way to pass the alias within the  application itself so that we don’t need *.corp. company .com in the exclusion list and we can point users to the inside.ZZZ url.
    Our team researched this issue and found documentation that supported the use of multiple domain names to access a Enterprise Portal.  The documentation that we found is below:
    How To…Configure the J2EE Engine Deployment Descriptor (Version 1.00 – July 2004)
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0eb8120-b66c-2910-5795-894f384fc054
    Particularly on page 13-15 in the documentation it talks about enabling the portal via multiple domain names (Section 3.7:  Using Multiple Domain Names to Access the Portal).  Also, the documentation says the following:
         You must have sever proxy servers, each with a different domain name.  You then activate the filter mechanism and configure it to work with several proxy servers
    We have several questions about the possiblities of being able to set this up and whether it would require another server where Web Dispatcher would need to be installed for this configuration to work properly.  Can someone please provide some insight into what needs to be configured and answer the question about the Web Dispatcher?  Also, if Web Dispatcher is required, what steps need to be done to configure?  If Web Dispatcher is not needed, what will we need to do apart from that to set this up for our Enterprise Portal system?

    It is but you have to use masking......

    Thanks JavaApplet,
    but I'm still having the same problem,
    I have typed
    in both server.xml and apps-abc.xml and apps-123.xml:
    In server.xml:
    <Host Name= "www.abc.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context path="/abc" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\abc" ...>
    </Context>
    </Host>
    <Host Name= "www.123.com.sg" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context path="/123" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\123" ...>
    </Context>
    </Host>
    So in apps-abc.xml:
    <Host Name= "www.abc.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context path="/abc" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\abc" ...>
    </Context>
    </Host>
    So in apps-123.xml:
    <Host Name= "www.123.com.sg" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context path="/123" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\123" ...>
    </Context>
    </Host>
    but how come, the www.123.com.sg still doesn't work, it kept displaying the page cannot be found. It's very funny because if I typed www.abc.com/123/index.jsp, surprisingly the page can be displayed.
    This is a very tough problem for me and I have spent a long time troubleshooting this problem.
    Hope that some advice can be given ... thank a million
