Publishing multiple iWeb accounts to mobileme

I wish to have multiple iWeb websites published through MobileMe. I know that I can go through Go Daddy to publish sites. But that can be clumsy and is not nearly as easy as going through MobileMe. Can you purchase a 'family deal' or 'package deal,' allowing multiple iWeb accounts through MobileMe?
Msgr. Tom

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can have as many sites published to a MMe account as there is room to house them. HOWEVER, only one site can be assigned to a domain name using the CNAME method. Any other domain names must use the URL forwarding to other sites in the same MMe account.
A family account will let you have one site using the CNAME method of domain name forwarding per account - 5 accounts. However, you still will have to purchase the domain name to use. With a single account you can have the 5 sites with domain names for about $50 less than a family account.
Here are some topics and sites with more info about CNAME and domain names:

Published my iWeb files to MobileMe but can't get to domain

I've finally been able to publish my iWeb files to MobileMe (after 2 days of trying -- a message kept appearing that said "iWeb couldn’t publish to MobileMe. The MobileMe servers are busy. Please try again in a few minutes."), but now when I try to go to my domain name (www.julie-harrison.com) it automatically redirects to "www.web.me.com".
Help!
juleslarosa

Well, have you followed all the instructions about linking your domain name to MobileMe?
Have you entered your domain name in your MobileMe personal domain name settings? If not, then go and do this.
You then need to go to your domain name registrar and forward your domain name to web.me.com, by going to the DNS settings and setting up a new CNAME forwarding. Have you done this? If not, then go and do it.
You need to do all these things for your domain name to work.
By the way, it is web.me.com. If you keep typing www.me.com, then no it won't work.
Your url will always be http://web.me.com/username/sitename.

I have 25 gigs of space in iCloud. I used to publish my iWeb sites to MobileMe. Is there a way to now publish this iWeb sites to iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Apple didn't include web storage on iCloud. There are other web hostings (Blogspot, GoDaddy, etc.)

Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
Post back and inform us of your success.

Publish separate sites to one MobileMe account?

I manage several sites from my laptop, which runs iWeb '08. I have just started using iWeb '09 on my desktop at work, and absolutely love it - not to mention that my work computer doesn't freeze up whenever I try to work on complicated sites. I would like to publish the sites I'm working on at work to my MobileMe account, which my other iWeb '08 sites are published on. If the sites have different names, will that be a problem? Or if I publish will it only put up the sites from my work computer and delete everything else? This is terribly confusing. I would like to keep everything up until replacement sites are made, and this would solve my problem so immensely! Any input you have would be huge!

Perhaps I was not clear in my first post...
I have one MobileMe (.mac) account, which I currently have five sites hosted on. These sites were built in iWeb '08. I have had no problems with hosting multiple sites on MobileMe, so I'm not sure what you mean when you say that this is not possible.
I have built a sixth site in iWeb '09 on a different computer than my other five sites are built/stored on. I would like to publish this site to my MobileMe account as well - just add it to the roster, if you like. It has a different name than my other sites, so presumably if I sign into my MobileMe account on that computer, it would publish the site alongside the others, correct? I just don't want to publish this new site and for some reason have it delete the other five sites already being hosted.

I can't publish to iWeb, it doesn't seem to be able to login to my icloud account. any ideas?

I've been trying to publish a site on iweb. It seems that iweb is unable to sign in to my icloud account. I push the publish to mobile me tab, push the sign into your account tab,( already a member). I get the barbers pole for 30 seconds or so, and then, nothing happens. Any ideas anyone?

MobileMe closed in July last year.
iCloud does not offer webhosting.
You have to find a webhost.
It's been discussed for the past 2 years in this forum, the MMe forum and all over the planet.
Browse this forum.
In short :
Find a webhoster.
And since you use iWeb 08, publish to a folder and use an FTP app to put the files on the server.
Oh, and look to the right. I see these topics :

Is using iWeb without a MobileMe account futile

I have no need for a MobileMe account so it's way overpriced compared to an average host.
I was able to do this much - publish an iWeb site to a local folder and use my Mac as a host (This shouldn't matter but I used the Safari server with MAMP - i.e. Macintosh Apache MySql PHP) to get more functionality than the one with Leopard. Using Port forwarding allows the Mac to be a host, but obviously this isn't a good solution if you understand IP. The RSS and Podcast features worked except for the comment functionality and the search didn't, but I can work around that.
I started out using this method because the only other publish option was "Publish to a folder". (which you select on your local file system) I really want to publish to a remote host. I don't know of any way to do this here, but perhaps there is:
So one question is: Is there a way on Leopard to make a folder a kind of alias for an HTTP address:? Or some other clever method of using publish to folder publish the files to a host via HTTP.
Mobile networking is a huge trend and Apple shouldn't have to shut out the few of us that don't want it now by not having a publish feature in iWeb that allows you to use a host of your choice. It doesn't matter why iWeb was written this way. I'm just really frustrated because it's a waste of 80$ for me if I can't get this to work.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'd certainly like to be wrong about this. But not including a publish feature that allows you to select a remote host seems rather suspect.
Ok, I had what I thought was a very acceptable and reasonable workaround, which has very desirable features. I came up against another limitation that I find really hard to live with, if I can't find an easy workaround. iWeb generates a lot of files in a folder structure. So, I tried reading them into Adobe Dreamweaver (which is by far the best XHTML editor available and adheres to the newest w3c standards.) When I tried this, half of the site just didn't work, and the scripting was not functional in IE 7. I'm sure tons of other stuff doesn't work and I didn't even bother to go through it all. Using Dreamweaver would allow me to publish to a host of my choice and it would also allow me to do things that iWeb can't do.
I like iWeb, especially for it's podcasting implementation, but it's obviously is very limited. I always assumed that since HTML is such a ubiquitous and well established standard that I just assumed iWeb HTML could be read with most any HTML editor, especially Dreamweaver. If I wanted any advanced functionality I could get it there, and use iWeb for the podcasting and simple sites.
Is iWeb so proprietary that it's generating HTML and supporting files that can't be edited in a product as superb as Dreamweaver? Has anyone had any luck editing the files produced by iWeb in another HTML editor? I would have thought this was a given.
I'm hoping that someone can give me some workarounds. Otherwise, it will confirm my theory that Apple is forcing MobileMe as a host for iWeb sites, which is really restrictive and unnecessary.
This is extremely frustrating and so if anyone has any workarounds to these problems, I'd really appreciate hearing them.
Otherwise, I just wasted 80$ on iLife, which I don't appreciate. And if getting iLife 09 is the workaround, I think I'd need to be convinced that it can both publish to any host and that it produces files that are compatible with Dreamweaver to even consider it.
Thank you for your help,
-Frank

fpatrick08,
My 2 cents, I though about getting mobileme service but the $99 per year stopped me. After I got my hosting with another company I found out that amazon sell the service for $69 per year. I still do not use mobileme but with Cyberduck and some work around it work pretty decent. You can see it by yourself here: http://www.wesdotphotography.com/Home.html
Hope this help

How to publish with iWeb on other website instead of MobileMe?

Hi,
I used iweb 3.0 the last time one year ago to publish my website in my mobileme account.
- how can I today publish on another domain?
- do I need also a newver version of iweb to do it an dif yes do I need to buy it or is it aprt of OS-X Lion for example?

You will need to find a 3rd party webhost for your website, I have been using IX Webhosting for several years now with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.
You specify where your iWeb site will be published from the Site Properties screen. Click the site name in the Site Organizer to display the Publish To pop-up menu. iWeb offers the following publishing options:
Choose where to publish your site.
Publish to MobileMe: This is no longer an option (I use IX WebHosting plans start at $3.95 a mo).
Publish to FTP Server: This publishing option provides you with a completely different collection of settings on the Site Properties screen. You’ll need to furnish iWeb with your Web server’s FTP settings (which should be furnished to you by the host) and your site’s address (or URL).
Publish to a Local Folder: The final publishing option creates a folder on your hard drive that contains all the files to display your Web site. Once again, you must supply the site URL as it will appear on the Internet after you copy or upload the site files to the server.

How do I publish multiple websites from iweb?

Hi, I'm new with iweb and .mac in general and wanted to know about publishing multiple accounts from my iweb.
I bought a five-user edition of .mac last week and I wanted to get at least three different websites up and running. One site is almost 50% done and has uploaded just fine but when I tried to create another site in iweb, I have no idea where it's going. I created a second account in .mac and it shows up (I can log into and everything) but how can I publish to my brand new site without the other one going through each and every time?
This question may sound really dumb but please bear and mind that I'm a newbie with iweb and mac (I just got this powerbook in Sept. 2006).
Thanks in advance,
Dale

Actually, Dale, this is a pretty common question.
If you want the different sites to load to different .mac accounts (or different sub accounts), the easiest solution is probably to set up several different user accounts on your computer, one for each .mac sub account. In each of those accounts, set the appropriate .mac info in system preferences. Seems like I've heard of another approach, but this is probably the simplest.
Have you already started building a second site in the same user account (on your computer) as the first site? If so, we'll need to walk you through domain separation, too.
One other heads up: it is very important to back up your domain files (in your case in each account). The domain file is found in ~/library/Application Support/iWeb, where ~ refers to your home folder for your user account on the computer. Make sure to make a backup copy (preferably on an external hard drive or CD) after every major change in your website. Don't be lulled into thinking that a published website serves as a backup. It is not possible to import a published site back into iWeb. The domain file is your only link to creating/editing the site in iWeb.
Please post back if you have any questions or if I haven't been clear.

How to publish from iWeb to two different .mac accounts

my household has two separate .macs account and we want to publish from iWeb to the two different accounts which I cannot figure out. thanks

I discovered I could duplicate Domain.sites2 (~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2). I named one "Domain de.sites2", and the other "Domain daru.sites2". Then I opened daru's site and deleted de's, then I opened de's and deleted daru's, and I have two separate sites (with aliases in the dock) that I presume I'll be able to upload separately. Once I get .Mac sub groups created...
If it works, it saves the hassle of creating other user accounts, since only my wife and I use the computer. Right now, .Mac is telling me I can't create a sub account in my wife's name because she already has a .Mac ID (and a two month free trial account she had to agree to, to join the group) for a group site I manage. I don't think she ought to be required to have a separate identity every time she logs into .Mac.

To publish your website you need to choose a hosting service. Here are some some pointers about what to look for...

Most hosting services will also offer you at least on free domain name registration.
Since you are using iWeb '08 you will need to publish to a local folder and upload the files using an FTP application...

Publishing multiple websites through iWeb

Hello,
I could use a little help. I have my main website published through iWeb and the mobleme system.
I would like to make another website (which already has a host) on iWeb but can't figured out how to do it.
Any help would be great. Thanks

Okay, so lets just get this clear first of all - which version of iWeb are you using? iWeb 08 or 09? There are differences - if using 09 then click on the name of the site that you want to publish and there should then be a drop down menu at the top of the page that has FTP Mobile Me, FTP Server and then Publish Local Folder. To publish to a folder just click on the Publish Local Folder option and your site will be published to a folder.
iWeb 09 will let you publish individual sites.
If using 08, then this is an 09 forum and there is an 08 forum that you can post to.
However, in iWeb 08 you can choose to Publish to MobileMe and/or then publish to a folder- in 08 there is no ftp to server option and unfortunately, as you have discovered it will publish all sites rather than just individually. If you want to publish individually, then you need to separate out your domain files or use the programme iWebSites to help keep your sites separate.

IWeb with multiple .Mac account

Hi,
I have 2 .Mac account (one for personal, and another one for business use). I have one MacBookPro
I want to use iWeb developing 2 sites for my 2 .Mac account.
What I usually do is to log in to my personal .Mac account, then make both sites (personal and business) the pages with iWeb.
But the problem is that both sites I did in iWeb will get published to my personal account. Then it is wasting space on my idisk.
Then I would have to publish everything to a folder and then copy only the pages of my business site into my business .Mac account.
I wish there is an easier way.
What would be the best way of doing this? (with no pain!)
Thank you & Best regards.

hi viravadee
you can publish to 2 .mac accounts very easily.
before you want to publish, close iweb,
go under system preferences,
then under .Mac settings change the username and the
password. re-open iWeb and publish
- BUT when, say you want to publish your
office-site, make sure it is the top-page (just drag
and drop the web-site to the top(in the sidebar
under iWeb) because this tells the index to get
linked to the first web-site. For your home adress,
you do it the opposite way, your personal page goes
first, and don't forget to change the username in
the system preferences again.
i guess that is the easiest way to publish to 2
accounts.
and it will allways publish everything, you will have
to delete the other site from the iDisk
Woah. I don't know if I would recommend this method. Why publish everything every time if you don't need to?
viravadee, try this:
1. Make two user accounts on your machine and set up each account for a different .mac account
2. Separate your domain file into two separate domain files, each with one site
Some directions are here:
http://web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iWeb/DomainSeparation
3. Put one domain file in each user account on your machine

Publishing Multiple Web Sites

I purchased IWEB 09 so I could publish multiple websites through mobile me. Do I need to purchase an upgrade to mobile me to be able to do that?
poccsteve

Yes, I am trying to use multiple personal domain names.
You can use one CNAME pointed domain name per MobileMe account. It goes to the topmost site in the iWeb site organizer. You can use URL Forwarding for as many other domain names as you want, pointing them at the appropriate MobileMe sites web.me.com/username/sitename.
