Will iWeb Allow You to Publish to Places other than .Mac?

I like the functionality of iWeb, but wonder if it would allow me to publish to a site other than .Mac.

Choose Publish to a Folder rather than Publish to .Mac, then use FTP to upload from your local folder to your non-.Mac server.
You need to be aware, though, that you'll lose some of the benefits of .Mac publishing when you do this. Slideshows will be different, password protection won't be available, the hit counter won't work, and Comments and Search which came with version 1.1 won't function.

Can iWeb be hosted by another site other than .Mac?

I have already purchased a domain name and a hosting agreement with GoDaddy, however I cannot utilize their web page templates for some reason. Another mac user suggested I purchase iWeb and then have GoDaddy host. Can that be easily accomplished?

Yes, it can be easily accomplished. Here's iWeb's Help info on this topic...
Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac:
Instead of publishing your site to .Mac, you can publish your site to a local folder and then upload it to the server or hosting provider of your choice. You may want to use this method if you own a domain name and want to place your site there.
To publish your site to a local destination:
Choose File > Publish to a Folder.
Choose a location to store your site, and then click Choose.
After you publish your site to a folder, you can use an FTP (file transfer protocol) client to upload the site folder and index file to the location of your choice. iWeb does not provide an FTP client, but they are easy to obtain. Some hosting services provide a web-based FTP upload service, or you can download an FTP client from the web. For more information, contact your server administrator.
If you don't publish your site to .Mac, these features are unavailable:
Password protection
Blog comments
Blog search
Hit counter
Enhanced slideshows
Also, for Subscribe buttons to work, you must specify your site's URL in the field provided after you publish to a folder.

Hosting other than .Mac?

I'm creating a website for our church and want to use iWeb to create it, but since I'm the only one with an Apple computer, I don't really want to use .Mac to host the site. Is there a host that supports iWeb other than .Mac?

I believe iWeb was developed as a personal web page making tool. If you're doing it for a church, you will probably have to invest in learning how to upload files anyways. You're most likely going to have to learn it in order to teach it. I wish my brother had taught me.
Maybe take a web page building class at the local high school or community college. If you just don't have time to learn it, maybe suggest your church purchase a lower end mac.
I disagree with kakster84.
It doesn't matter that it is for a church, personal, business etc. It only matters what the content will be. I would assume a church website would be more information and images then anything complicated that would require a class or some extra software.
I have build business websites for doctors, actors, ecommerce companies etc and always use iWeb.

What does the fact that it is for a "church" have to do with "investing in learning how to upload files"? Use iWeb, click "Publish" button. Done!
The whole point of a Mac, iWeb and .Mac is that you don't need to take classes. BUT if you can't seem to get started then walk into you local Apple store and ask for some help from an employee. If you must take a "class" then the Apple store provides one on one training for a yearly fee.

Is it possible to send messg. to other emails (aol) other than mac. users?

Hi.
I'm a novice mac. user and if it's possible to send messeges (yahoo, aol.etc.) other than mac. users using the Mail? If it's possible I need help--if possible, step by step, to set up my Mail. I appreciate it if you can help me.
Thank you.

Hello Louise.
Yes it is possible but if you have a free Yahoo account, Yahoo prevents accessing a free Yahoo account with any email client like the Mail.app for U.S. residents. If you have a paid Yahoo account which I believe costs only $20/year, you can access the account with the Mail.app and the account settings to set up the account in Mail are provided at Yahoo's website.
If you have an AOL email account, check Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP & Authenticated SMTP An Unofficial Guide and if you are currently using the AOL program to access your AOL account, you can use the AOL Service Assistant.

Creating a Pocast to be hosted somewhere other than .mac

Anyone had any experience of creating iweb pages with a podcast and hosting on site other than a .mac?
I know I can save the site/podcast to the desktop and then add/upload to an existing website.
When iWeb saves locally it asks for the url for the site.
so for example I might add...
www.mycoolwebsite.com
Is there anything else that needs to be added to this path ... like /podcast?
Should it be saved to its own discrete folder?
Also I guess I will need to create a button within iweb, on the podcast page, to take the user back to the Host home page.
Anyone with any clear advice on how to do this?!!!
It would be nice just to have a link on a page to the RSS feed without having to go to this "bolt on" page.
Hope these Q's make some sense!!!
Any ideas?

I know I can save the site/podcast to the desktop and
then add/upload to an existing website.
Yes.
When iWeb saves locally it asks for the url for the
site.
This is so that the internal links work.
so for example I might add... www.mycoolwebsite.com
Is there anything else that needs to be added to
this path ... like /podcast?
You should have http:// on the front, then the URL for your webspace, whatever that is. If you save the pages to the root level of your webspace, then that will do. You might want to create a folder on the server called podcast, in which case you would need the /podcast, which represents the folder.
Should it be saved to its own discrete folder?
That's up to you: if you are not going to have any other pages then you might as well save to the root level. If you are going to have different sections it would be logical to have folders: but it doesn't really matter as long as the links are correct.
Note that when you upload, you send the contents of the folder you saved to, not the folder itself. Note also that your start page must be called index.html (though iWeb should take care of that).
Also I guess I will need to create a button within
iweb, on the podcast page, to take the user back to
the Host home page.
I don't use iWeb, but it must offer links to the pages within the site and back to the main page.
It would be nice just to have a link on a page to the
RSS feed without having to go to this "bolt on" page.
Note that the link to the rss feed is for programs such as NetNewsWire which are rss readers, don't confuse this with an ordinary web page. You link to the rss page just the same as any web page: http://severname.com/rss.xml or whatever it's called (the extension must be .xml).

Publishing to a server other than .Mac

Does this version make that any easier? I can't find any information on it... I would rather use my FREE Comcast hosted web site than pay for .Mac... Any suggestions?

To be honest, if there is no built in FTP support, which EVERY other web authoring software that I have used includes, then I'll not be bothering with iLife 08. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with Apple's head-in-the-sand mentality, pretending that we all only use .mac. I have 4GB of hosting for several domains with a hosting provider, and I pay for that, and I'd like to be able to simply publish more than one site to that space using the web design tool (i.e. iWeb), not faff about saving to a folder and then using another FTP app.
Before I switched to the Mac I used FrontPage with FPSE on the server. It really was an absolute pleasure publishing my sites, and I paid noting to have FPSE support on my web hosting. I now use RapidWeaver for my websites, but still miss FrontPage publishing, which was great at recovering from publishing errors, unlike all the FTP tools that I've tried. Web creation and publishing on the Mac is far more of a headache and far less enjoyable than it was on Windows XP with FrontPage, that's for sure.

How can I publish a website to a different domain name other than .mac

IWeb '08: Can I publish to sites other than .Mac?

I'm new to using a Mac but I was wondering if iWeb can be used to publish to sites hosted by other servers like godaddy or something similar?

Yes. Publish the site to a folder and then upload the files as instructed by the host.

Can I publish to somewhere other than .Mac with iWeb?

I've been looking into switching away from .Mac when my account expires this time, for various reasons, one being price. Is there a way that I can use iWeb to publish to somewhere else, most likely an FTP server. If so, any reccomendations as to what server, I am doing researhc now to find a good, dependable one.

Publish to something other than .mac?

Can not publish to a domain other than .Mac

I've tried to use about 3 different FTP programs (Classic, Cyberduck, Fugu) and I can't get may website to publish. I was working in old Dreamweaver 4 on PC for my church's regional website, and re-did it in iWeb, but nothing. I also have my own "domain" at my university alumni and it won't publish/open/appear there. Am I saving it incorrectly in the first place? Am I supposed to upload the main folder, or open the folder and upload the html files and sub-folders?
Here's the message I get when I try to view my site:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Thank you!

I made a redirect page in PowerPoint. I tried to test it on my own account (alumni) and the anwc.net one. On both my own alumni account (www.sfu.ca/~tellier) and rdpres.anwc.net, I'm getting similar same messages after having jigged around in UNIX and changed permissions:
"The requested URL /~tellier/index_files/slide0003.htm was not found on this server." (SFU)
"The requested URL /index_files/slide0003.htm was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." (ANWC.NET)
I thought maybe I could do that "apply for a domain name" but our rdpres.anwc.net doesn't have a www in front of it and that's the only thing .Mac will accept.
Yeesh!

Can iWeb be set to publish to a webserver other than .Mac?

Want to publish iWeb site/podcast to our schools webserver. Is the only way to do that is to use publish to a folder, selecting the mounted folder on the webserver via AFP?

The only way is publish to a folder and upload the resulting files using an FTP application to your server (usually people use an FTP application to upload websites, not AFP...)
It takes quite a while to re-upload the whole website each time you publish but there are ways to re-upload only pages that were modified since the last time you published
(chapter 2 of the following page: http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWebFolderFTP.html )

Other than .mac domain name

I'm really new at this folks, so please bear with me. I have a .com domain name and I would like to use iWeb to publish my web page(s), I think. Can I do this? As I said, I'm really new at this and still have a lot to learn about web hosting, (which I'm not even sure what that is yet) and creating my website but hey, you gotta start somewhere right? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. How limited am I if I do end up using iWeb?

Let me try to flesh out some concepts for you...
You need both a domain name and a hosting account to be able to have people type in your domain.com address and see your hosted web pages. So I know you definitely have a domain name. What I am not sure about is whether you have a web host or not. As far as you web host goes, you can host your iWeb designed pages either on .Mac or on a 3rd party web host. The easiest place to find a 3rd party web host would probably be the same company you registered your domain name from.
Of course, things are easiest in the purest Apple sense if you join .Mac for your web hosting needs. Several iWeb features only work if your pages are hosted on .Mac, and of course with .Mac you have the luxury of uploading your pages directly from iWeb.
If you use a 3rd party host, then you can still design your web pages in iWeb, but your publishing option is limited to publishing your entire site to a folder, which then needs to be uploaded via your favorite FTP program to your 3rd party web host. The process isn't difficult once you get the hang of it, but you are required to upload your entire site each and every time you make even a little change (as opposed to just uploading the changes from iWeb directly if you are using .Mac).
So there are slight differences depending on who you choose to host your webpages. Tom has already provided you with tips for 3rd party webhosts. I would highly recommend going with .Mac if you don't already have a web host in mind. The tight integration of .mac with OS X even without iWeb is worth the extra money in my mind.
But you have to make up your own mind. Good luck! And happy iWebbing!

How to create in iweb but upload to something other than .mac account

I bought my own domain name and have a hosting server all setup through a friend.
My question is can I create my page in iweb and upload it to my own hosting server which is not .mac?
If not, how can I pull all files and folders out to copy up using Classic FTP?
If I cant use iweb at all, what can I use to build my page on my macbook?
Thank You
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
all you have to do is go to File=>Publish to a folder when in iWeb and then upload the resulting files (index.html & folder named with name of your site in iWeb) to your server using an FTP application.
