New domain name question
i just registered this domain name on godaddy.com:
www.briantylermusic.com
the website link before, was this:
http://web.me.com/cbarrywdw03/TheBrianTylerProject/Main.html
when i go to the new domain name, it shows up as this:
http://briantylermusic.com/TheBrianTylerProject/Main.html
how can i get rid of the site name in the address?
Actually there is a way to remove the site name when publishing to MobileMe. However, if you have more than one site it will not work. It's spelled out here: IWEB : PUBLISH TO MOBILEME WITHOUT THE SITENAME IN THE URL. Remember you can have only one site published to your MMe account if you use this method.
If you can live with just www.briantylermusic.com in the URL of every page and only be able to bookmark and enter your site via the fist page use URL forwarding (instead of CNAME) with masking enabled. But remember the two caveats I mentioned. That could be a deal breaker depending on your site and the importance of individual pages.
Just my opinion but the look and content of the site is what catches people's eye and brings them back. This leads me to the fact that users won't even notice what's up there even if they bookmark it. The simple domain name will get them to the site and the content will keep bringing them back, not what the URL looks like. +Much ado about nothing+ as someone famous once wrote.

Create account with new domain names
Hi there.
I'm trying to create an account with the new domain names ([email protected]). .works is part of the new domains names available all over in recent months, but in the sign up form it says the email is invalid when it's working perfectly and it's totally valid.
I've tryed to contact support without sucess. do you have any idea how I can register an account with my [email protected] ?
Best regards,Hi, Cesarcouto.com, and welcome to the Community,
Thank you for your report, which I have forwarded to those to whom I report. Unfortunately, I do not know when this as well as many of the new domains will be recognized by Skype's new account creation system as valid.
Regards,
Elaine

New Domain Names and Contact Form Issue
Hello all,
I'm working for a client who is using one of the newer domain name extensions. It reads like this: www.COMPANYNAME.farm
The .farm is a new extension.
On my contact form I use the e-mail address [email protected]
The e-mails are never sent through. You can submit a form, it says it sends successfully, but the e-mail is never received.
Any ideas if adobe muse has troubles with the new 'non-standard' domain extensions?
Any other solutions?
Thanks,
JonneySounds like you are hosting on GoDaddy? If so, there are plenty of threads on here with the same problem.
Generally what you need to do is create a dummy hotmail address and list it first. [email protected], [email protected] and that will likely fix your problem. Kind of a crazy work around but that is a GoDaddy issue (if in fact you are hosting with GoDaddy). -
Pointing my new domain name too my .mac homepage
Hi, please can someone tell me how to point my new domain name to my .mac account? I usually have to change DNS settings but I can't find them anywhere on this site.
ThanksYou may already figured this out, but I had the same problem and later learned that Apple will not provide a DNS number. I had to pay my domain host to forward my domain (aka "domain forwarding") so that someone typing in my domain is automatically forwarded to my Apple homepage. Even then, viewers will see the very long iWeb url in the domain/url field, and so to avoid that, you might consider paying a few more bucks to get "domain masking", which replaces the long winded iWeb urls with your domain. The only problem with that is no matter what page of your site the visiter is on it always says your domain (www.xxxxxx.com) in the domain/url field. Its a compromise, but at least you have the satisfaction of using your personalized domain name and the ease of use of Apple's iWeb system.

Hi,
I am making my first Iweb site. I want to host the site through IWeb, but want to be sure I can use the simple domain name I own as the address, rather than a long www.mobileme.myname.domainname.com address. I see instructions involing setting up an alias on with the domain name provider, but wanted to ask around first.
Also, do you know if I can host more than one website through Iweb.
thanks for any and all help!
I have sent these questions to Apple support, but no response yet. I gather the new Iphone is taking up a lot of their tech support time.
Kimthe url instantly changes and is long.
This is the way CNAME pointing works with .Mac. If you like you can make things shorter by shortening the names you give your site and pages.
Your "url", namely what people need to type to get to your site, is of course just the short version. What appears in the browser address bar is really irrelevant, but if it matters a lot to you, then you can undo everything you did for CNAME and switch to ordinary url forwarding/masking. With that, for every page on your site only www.myname.com will appear in the browser address bar for every page. -
AD Migration from NT 4.0 using New Domain Name & Unity UM
The customer currently has Unity 3.1(5) UM with Exchange 5.5 in NT 4.0 domain. They will be migrating to AD 2000 during phase 1 of the project, which will be followed by Unity upgrade to 4.0(4) a few weeks afterwards.
During the phase 1, Exchange 2003 will be introduced, but the mailboxes will remain in Exchange 5.5 until phase 2.
Here is the migration path proposed by the customer for the phase 1.
1. Current DNS will be isolated to a W2K server with the new domain defined in the DNS. All servers will point to this DNS server as their primary.
2. A BDC will be setup and then removed from our network.
3. Our PDC will be upgraded to Windows 2000 server. AD will be setup with a new domain of XXX.PRV
4. Service packs will be applied to the server.
5. The AD connector will be installed for Exchange 5.5
6. An additional W2K server will be brought online as a DC and additional global catalog.
I do realize that domain name change is not supported for Unity, but would this have any impact on Unity? Basically, the PDC that will be upgraded to W2K DC will retain old domain name (XXX_NT) as the NetBios name whereas the new DNS domain name will be XXX.PRV.
Since Unity does not need to talk to AD or Exchange 2003 at all until the phase 2, Im thinking this would be okay, but wanted to get some expert opinions on it. Also, the customer has tested some legacy servers in the lab, and they were able to authenticate against the XXX_NT domain name in the new XXX.PRV AD environment.
Phase 2 will consist of the following tasks.
1. Run DB Walker.
2. Back up using DiRT.
3. Extend AD schema.
4. Upgrade Unity to 4.0(4).
5. Disconnect Unity from Exchange 5.5.
6. Upgrade Exchange System Manager on Unity.
7. Re-establish Exchange partner relationship using Exchange 2003.
8. Run DB Walker.
9. Move Exchange 5.5 mailboxes to Exchange 2003.
Thank you bunch!
HanYour project (from oh so long ago) looks very similar to what I am proposing to do now. I currently run Cisco Unity 4.0.4 SR1 with Exchange 5.5 (Unified Messaging), on an NT4 network. I have recently upgraded my network to Windows 2003 with Active Directory. I am building a new Exchange 2003 server in the new domain but not upgrading Unity 4.0.4--at least, not yet. I am looking to change the Partner Exchange server to point at the new Exchange server. I see no docs that cover such a scenario--only lateral moves (5.5 to 5.5, 2003 to 2003). As long as the ADC is in place, do you think I even have to change the Partner server when my new Exchange server comes online (initially)? How did your project turn out? Did you have to change the process you outlined above?
Thanks for any info!

Having trouble setting new domain name in business catalyst
Hello,
I'm having problems setting up my site to go live. Here's what I've done so far:
1) built the site and pushed it live
2) upgraded the site
3) set up a GoDaddy domain name
4) set up the servers on GoDaddy
5) set up the associate account info on BC
And then.... nothing.
I've then deleted the domain and tried to repeat the process, in case I missed something, but now I can't set up a new domaine and keep getting the error "Domain already exists. Please delete all records associated with this domain". What records? What does this even mean?
Can someone please walk me through the steps to get this site live?
Thanks!
DarinHi Aish,
I'm still having no luck with the site. I've triple-checked and everything is correct on the GoDaddy end. I'm attaching a screenshot of with BC portal, so you can see where I'm at. I somehow ended up with duplicate domains and I have no idea which one to delete. Also, I can't seem to enter anything for the A records, C name records, etc. Is there anything at all that support can do to get this thing up and running? It's been close to a week since I upgraded the site. Please advise.
Thanks,

Can anyone explain how i can use .mac... iLife etc, to make a personalised Domain name...
so a name like http://web.mac.com/andrews_artcakes
can become
www.andrewscakes.com
(more professional)
I thought that the iweb2.0 allowed you to do this..
so was going to buy it - but i looks like i need to buy domains, and sort a link up!
its all new to me.. and i'd love a simple clean explanantion please.
If you can help, please post a reply asap...
Im using OSX leopard, iweb (old one)
Thanks
AndrewYou will need to buy a domain from someone like http://www.simply.com
They will allow you to forward from your domain so that andrewscakes.com will remain in the address bar while people navigate round your site (so individual pages won't be bookmarkable).
With the latest version of iWeb you can use 'Personal Domain' - forwarding with the pagenames: please see http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Domains.html -
Web Domain Name Question??
So this is going to sound really noobie like...well because I'm not really a network admin by day.
I have my server set and functioning with DNS, Web, OD, and a mixture of file sharing services. So...when creating a new Site in Web service, I set a 'Domain Name' (like www.example.com) and 'Aliases' (like example.com). If I then go to a web browser and type "www.example.com" or "example.com" I get nothing...but, if I type in the FQDN of the server (like "http://ns1.mydomain.com"), it will go to my site.
Now, I know that the domain I'm setting isn't a registered domain, but with all of my client computers pointing to the DNS of the server, shouldn't it resolve to be like a 'local host' kinda thing?
I don't need this to be live to the internet...just a local site. Any help or suggestion is much appreciated!
Thank you!!Hi Corey
To put it simply you really don't need any other IP address in the Server's DNS Server's field other than its own address. Of course this assumes the server is also the DNS Server. The Server in effect is using its own DNS to resolve itself locally and any client computers that are using it for their DNS as well as accessing the internet. Obviously clients using the Server for their DNS will also be accessing the internet using the Server.
If the Server is down then it won't matter whether if it can get on the internet - its down. For clients using the server it will matter. So for clients you could either not bother using the Server and use either the Router IP address (if the router is not your server) or any ISP supplied DNS Server addresses. Or place these addresses as secondary addresses.
A lot depends on how you want clients to access server hosted domains? If you want to use domain names then clients have to know which DNS Server resolves that name to an IP address. Of course you could just simply use the server's IP address locally - clients will still access the site.
This explanation is as simple as I can make it. There are others on these forums who could (or may if they post) explain things a lot better?
Glad I could help and thank you for the feedback.

How do I have my web.mac.com site link to my newly purchased domain name?
Please help me I'm new to .mac and very stuck. I
have a web site www.trendtrophies.co.uk I have asked
my domain host to set up a forwarding service to my
.mac account which he has done. When My brother, his
friend and myself try to access the address on our
macs we get a blank page. However, I have had 2
people on PCs try the site, the domain company have
tried it on other pcs including dial up connection
and all work fine. I only purchased my mac a few
months ago and it is all upto date with latest
tiger.
Please help thanks
It works for me!
It is masking this .Mac address:

How do you get a new domain name?
I know it must be very simple to do but I just can't understand this process.
Do you have to buy a domain name from places like godaddy.com first?
Or can you created it on MobileMe for free?
Does it take 48hours to take effect?
ThanksAll domain names must be purchased from an domain name provider. GoDaddy.com is just one of many providers.
Once you purchase your name and publish the site you can set up MobileMe to use that domain name in one of two ways:
1 - using the CNAME feature of MobileMe. These documents describes how it is done:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Account/en/acct17114.html
http://help.godaddy.com/article/4100
2 - using the regular domain name forwarding like this example thru GoDaddy.com (this assumes you purchase the name thru GoDaddy) as seen in this screenshot:

Please Help: website domain name question(s)
First let me get this out in the open: I'm not computer savvy and I'll probably end up using fancy technical computing terms inappropriately. For this, I apologize.
Okay, I have a relatively simple goal (at least I hope it's simple).
All I want is for the little website I created in iWeb and have hosted on .Mac (perhaps "hosted" is the wrong word?) to display the domain name I've given it.
Some potentially helpful info:
My website is called: thegirlandrhino.com
I purchase my domain name at Namecheap.com
At Namecheap.com I utilized the URL forwarding feature -- forwarding http://web.mac.com/thegirlandrhino to http://thegirlandrhino.com
Now then, all of this is works just fine.
However, when I type "www.thegirlandrhino.com" into my address bar, the name changes into: http://web.mac.com/thegirlandrhino/iWeb/TheGirlandRhino/181C45AC-5290-11DB-9315- 001124783C74.html
I find this obnoxious and unsightly.
Does anyone know I can get my site's URL to maintain its "form?"
Thanks Much!

12 in powerbook Mac OS X (10.3)Hey, good job on getting your domain forwarding setup! The feature that you are now looking for is called "Masking". It will let your domain name stay in the address bar no matter what page on your site you surf to, so that all that gibberish URL stays hidden away.
I just took a look at namecheap.com and see that they are calling this feature "cloaking". Just enable this feature from your domain name account and hide away your long .Mac URL...

Is there a way they could purchase a domain name and point to their existing site?, even if i don't know their dns names? What would be the best way to do this?
mikeYou can get the domain name you want then your registrar will - in most cases - allow you to forward that domain to the URL of your choice.

IWeb Domain Name Question, Please Help
I created an iWeb website hosted on my .Mac account.
I forwarded my personal domain name, so that the website uses the domain <www.JohnPositive.com>.
But once it gets to the site, the domain in the URL line changes to the long iWeb name of <www.johnpositive.com/jp/CASA.html>.
What's bad about this is that I have a nationwide ad coming out that advertises the webpage of my site <www.johnpositive.com/students>, but the problem is that .Mac doesn't recognize this site, because it's changed to the long iWeb name of <www.johnpositive.com/jp/students.html>.
How do I convert that URL back to a shorter URL, such as, <www.johnpositive.com/students>?
I appreciate anyone's help on this. Must I create a redirect page? Are there some settings I'm missing?
-Janthe url instantly changes and is long.
This is the way CNAME pointing works with .Mac. If you like you can make things shorter by shortening the names you give your site and pages.
Your "url", namely what people need to type to get to your site, is of course just the short version. What appears in the browser address bar is really irrelevant, but if it matters a lot to you, then you can undo everything you did for CNAME and switch to ordinary url forwarding/masking. With that, for every page on your site only www.myname.com will appear in the browser address bar for every page.
