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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Iweb 09 multiple sites and domains

    I have had one iWeb site working properly for the last few years with past iweb versions with no problems. I purposely upgraded to 09' so I could publish multiple sites with individual domains. I created a second and third site and they seemed to up load ok via either the iweb FTP or Cyberduck. (Im not using Mobile me) When I'd go to the web page all I'd see was "under construction". I triple checked if erverything was loaded correctly on the server. They looked just like the original site that had been working and was in the right order.
    I got on the phone with Apple yesterday for nearly 3 hours and two different techs. After all their help/suggestions I seemed to have lost my original working site. The site (.sites) shows up in the iWeb library folder and when I click on it to open, iWeb seems to be opening okay as I can see the file menu. However there is NO WINDOW. All I see is my desktop like the window was closed or something. (It wasn't) I've clicked on my other (non working) sites from the same iWeb folder and they open up just fine.
    Needless to say, my original problem has now turned into two problems. Apple is confused and has turned the issue over to an engineer and I am waiting to hear back. The tech told me Apple might be adding a software fix soon because others have had uploading multiple sites issues.
    Has anyone had a similar experience or suggestions? I'm proficient on the machine but this is ridiculous.

    My suggestion would be to ignore the iWeb FTP until it works.
    I still keep my sites on separate domain files, publish to a folder and optimize and upload with Web Site Maestro.
    Until Apple fixes their FTP and adds optimization or rebuilds iWeb to create less cumbersome files, this feature is useless to anybody who wants their website to download in a reasonable time and have an even chance of loading in IE.

  • Mac and personal domain names

    How to set up your iWeb and personal domain names, How do you get your iWeb DNS. tHANKS

    Mac/iWeb and domainnames have nothing to do with each other.
    Your domainname is related to your webserver. With or without iWeb.
    And there is no such thing as an iWeb DNS.
    Check where you have your webhosting and domainname registered.
    And in case the message did not get across, MobileMe ends at the end of this month. And so does Personal Domain, which is a MMe feature.

  • Multiple sites and multiple domains

    I have upgraded to iLife 08 and successfully created a website using a domain with GoDaddy. Everything works great. But now my daughter wants to create her own website (she is a .mac member). How do I create 2 different websites that each have their own domain name? One site that uses my personal domain and a completely different site that uses .mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Your daughter does have her own account on your Mac, right? If not I would create one for here so her .Mac is unique to her account and she will be using here own domain.sites2 file for her site and not have to worry about your site in the same file.
    If she already has a site in progress in iWeb, copy the domain.sites2 file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder into the same folder in her account. She can then open it with iWeb, delete your site and work on her site for publishing.

  • Multiple sites, and domains, only one log file is working

    I have a custom install of Entropy latest version for apache 1.3
    OS X 10.4.5 on an Xserve dual g5
    Everything is running fantastic save for one thing.
    The sites that I have set up for multiple domains and multiple websites only the site that is in the top of the List in Server Administration under Web and so forth... I have the top site (which is our own site) and the others under that gain no hits and stats information because everything is being logged under the top site. Does this make sense?
    I use Awstats to generate information for the various sites but only the top site generates hits and it gets the information for everything.
    I am using entropy because I needed a level of security to avoid spammers on our guestbook and contact forms and entropy has the ability to use turing test.
    Our various sites are now requesting custom stats and information but cannot get this to work. I have set different file names for each of the sites logs both hits and error log.
    What do I need to check and what information can I supply to you from my custom install that will help you help me get this working.
    Thank you everyone for your help.
    Joseph

    Add me to the "me too" list.
    Could it have anything to do with the difference between a "local host aliases" and "virtual hosting"? Or is that just related to Mail service?
    Maybe it belongs in another thread, but what are most folks using for log analysis? I've got 40 or so virtually hosted domains that I'd like to track so I can kill the sites that aren't doing my company any good...

  • Blog and personal domain/store, SEO & other issues

    I'm using the blog format to provide helpful tips, dynamic content and general marketing for our online store. The .Mac points to a subdomain, not directly to the site and the content can be viewed through the store pages in a frame (GoLive). I've submitted sitemaps to google for both the store site and blog subdomain and many questions, lots of uncertainity and variable scenarios on this and .Mac versus maybe better SEO friendly options like Wordpress and .Mac's general sluggishness. I like the ease of updating with .Mac and the main reason I have taken the .Mac to personal domain approach was the Search capability.
    1) Is there a way using GoLive or 3rd party option to search for blog content if I simply Published to folder and upload content & pages in the site versus the personal domain approach?
    2) If I update blog content directly to the site, what other steps aside from, resubmitting the sitemap to Google are good SEO practices?
    3) How does the blog via subdomain sitemap/Google content get crawled? So far the visible links appear to correlate to 'Number of Excerpts to Show'. plus the main blog page and archive page. Will submitting the sitemap in a particular level of the blog folders affect the crawling to maximize content discovery?
    4) Does having content in a frame from the subdomain from a .Mac account affect SEO & possibly get into Duplication of Content issues?
    5) Probably more questions to follow depending on logical direction and tweaks...
    Any insights, input or tweak suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Another question:
    6) Is there a method to create a sitemap of Blog entry links that you can post on a site? This and other navigation issues are a bit difficult, AFAIK.

  • 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.

  • Hosting .Mac and Personal Domain Separately - Help!

    Hi,
    I have three websites I have made using iWeb, and one personal domain. I would like to host two of the sites only on .Mac, and host the third site on the personal domain. I set up the CNAME and it works but I do not want two of the sites to be linked to the personal domain.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Should I copy iWeb and use the copy for one or the other?
    Can I separate the website files or something?
    Thanks in advance!

    When I go to mysite.com, the iWeb page I want shows up, and I can go through the pages of the site. But if I type in mysite.com/site2.html or mysite.com/site3.html my other sites come up. I don't want those two sites to be accessible from mysite.com.
    Thanks for the clarification.
    Of course one has to know the names of your other sites in order to access them.
    Some ways to divorce them more totally might to
    +password protect them
    +purchase another .Mac account (or use a family account) for them
    +manually move them to iDisk/Sites. Then they would have the url homepage.mac.com/username/sitename (not sure all features would work).
    PS A further option might be to use ordinary forwarding plus masking instead of CNAME. When you do that, your personal url is sent to your longer .Mac url, web.mac.com/username/sitename. I don't know what happens when you try to type in a different sitename after the personal name.

  • .mac and personal domain question

    I'm sure this has been addressed several times, although, I can't find the answer in a quick search...
    I set-up a personal domain on my account. I have several websites going in iWeb, however. Can I still host my personal domain on .mac, but still publish my other sites to my .mac url? How do I switch back-n-forth between my .mac url and my personal domain without messing things up?!
    Thanks so much for the help!
    Cheers,

    How do I switch iWeb to publish to my .mac rather than my personal domain? Is that possible?
    iWeb always publishes to .Mac, nowhere else, regardless of what it says somewhere in the app. You can always reach all your sites via the url http://web.mac.com/username/sitename.

  • .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.

  • .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
    h**p://web.mac.com/uomoragno/blog/spider-mac/spider-mac.html
    And here
    h**p://www.spider-mac.com/blog/spider-mac/spider-mac.html
    Thanks.
    --Antonio

    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.
