Trying to mount my two websites and retain original URLs using CNAME

Question

Hello all,
I purchased two domain names and have mounted both websites with my internet provider, but I have had constant problems with strange characters appearing. For example, I am unable to use quotation marks or other characters. After two years of trying, I have decided to use Mobile Me to mount my sites but wish to keep the same URL names. I've been told by the folks from whom I purchased the domain names that I simply need to update my information with them and it should work. Apple has suggested that the CNAME should be "web.me.com/mymobilemename/myoriginalsitename. When I try that, I am told by DomainPeople that the forward slash is not acceptable in the CNAME box. Any suggestions? I've been fussing with trying to "redirect" my sites and retain their original URLs for a month now and am unable to mount, make changes, update, etc. Feeling frantic!

That can normally be fixed, see

No. CNAME is web.me.com and never anything more. What you wrote is used only for url forwarding and not CNAME.
You can't do two CNAMEs with one account. If you need to redirect two sites, you can use one CNAME and one url forwarding.
