Using a domain name with the mac site

If I use a domain name on Site #2, does that mean that Site #1 will automatically have the same domain name?
I already have a Site #1 up and running. Now I purchased a new domain name that I would like to use only for site# 2. I was worried about going in with any edits to Site #1 just in case it would go to the new domain name instead of where it is right now.
Any light on that subject?

If you have 2 websites in the same domain folder the uppermost site or the site that you most recently published will be linked to your domain name. If you don't want it to be then you need to re-publish with the site that you want to be linked to your domain name is uppermost. You can move the sites around by dropping and dragging.
The easiest thing to do is to separate the sites so that you have site 1 in 1 folder and site 2 in another. Following this, the site that you publish first will be linked to your domain name. If it is not this site that you want then just publish the other site.
How do you have the first site set up? Is it using CNAME or web forwarding? Have you entered your personal domain name into your .Mac account?
If you have one .Mac account and two websites and two personal domain names, then you can use CNAME for one site and web forwarding with or without masking for the other site. You can only enter one domain name into one .Mac account.

  • Using a domain name with .mac and iWeb

    How does one go about linking a domain name to the iWeb pages/ .mac account?
    In other words, I don't want to have to give out the long web.mac.com/blahblahblah/site
    name, I'd like to just have a domain name.

    Dottonedan...
    I have replied to your thread over here...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=647660&tstart=0
    You might want to have a look at the public DNS service that I posted about.
    What you are looking for is basically a domain name server that will accept your domain name and be able to translate the words into the numbers like you mention. That's what DNS servers do. There are LOTS of DNS servers on the internet and once you get your domain name hooked into one the information will propagate within days if not hours, making your domain name functional.
    Anyways, look back at the thread you started and you'll see my post there... we'll start there and get you squared away sooner or later, i'm sure.

  • Using Personal Domain Name with iWeb08

    As per instructions I have setup my domain and made the changes to the Cname records with my Domain Registry ( https://cp.domaincentral.com.au). Domain is noted at the bottom of iWeb as I would expect and also if I upload I get the notation that the page will be seen as the domain.
    Page cannot be found on my domain. I can see with the generic .mac address fine.
    Cname Info:
    jimleonard.net.au. CNAME web.mac.com. 3600 Manual Active Yes
    Have I missed somthing?

    Okay, I have waited a period of 48 hours for updates to be be done with my domain name:
    jimleonard.com.au. NS dns1.domaincentral.net.au. 3600 Auto Active Yes
    jimleonard.com.au. NS dns2.domaincentral.net.au. 3600 Auto Active Yes
    jimleonard.com.au. CNAME web.mac.com. 3600 Manual Active Yes
    jimleonard.com.au. A 17.250.248.34 3600 Manual Active Yes
    www.jimleonard.com.au. CNAME web.mac.com. 3600 Manual Active Yes
    Config is fine @ .mac:
    Personal Domain
    .Mac is configured to host your domain:
    www.jimleonard.com.au
    If you entered the correct settings at your registrar more than 48 hours ago and your iWeb site still doesn't appear at your domain, try these troubleshooting tips.
    I have also made changes and uploaded to"all.mac" I am still unable to see the site with the Domain, all is fine as the .Mac address:
    http://web.mac.com/jimleonard/Travel/Jim_and_SuzieTravels.html
    Have I missed the point?

  • Using regular domain names with iweb?

    Is there a way to direct a normal www. domain to an iweb-created web site without putting all the extra .mac stuff in the URL?

    Hi Elmeroguero,
    If you buy a domain name at GoDaddy say elmeroguero.com for 10$/yr you then will be able to access the site you publish on .mac by entering elmeroguero.com.
    EVERYTHING ELSE is business as usual. You publish your website by hitting publish button in iWeb and so on just as you did until now. All your pages are stored on .Mac and so on. The only thing changing is how you can access your website from browser (nevertheless you will also still be able to access your website typing the web.mac.com/username/ address).
    Regards,
    Cédric
    (Difference between WebForward, WebForward with cloaking and CNAME:
    -WebForward: after you typed elmeroguero.com in the browser you get forwarded to web.mac.com/username/ and web.mac.com/username/ will display in the browser
    -WebForward with Cloaking: after you typed elmeroguero.com in the browser elmeroguero.com will display in the browser and don't change while people browse through your website
    -CNAME elmeroguero.com will display instead of web.mac.com/username/ and while browsing through your website it will look like elmeroguero.com/sitename/nameofpagepeoplelookatnow.html)

  • How do I set up different icloud accounts for each family member and make them able to access them on our common mac using their user name on the mac.  I am doing this to make sure kids don't get access to our messages.

    We have several apple products in the family.  I would like to set up different icloud accounts for each memeber.  I lately noticed having activated different devices with same icloud account that each device can access everyones messages by going in their settings and clicking which number or email they want to use to see messages.  Let me make sure I am understood, on my sons ipod in his messages settings he can switch to my cell number and see all my messages.  Re setting the devices isn't my great issue but can i set up each kids user account on my mac to their individual icloud accounts?
    Thanks!

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

  • Help:Domain name forwarding to .mac URL

    Experts - newbie here - used iweb and built my site. Forwarded my domain name to the .mac URL and everytime I try to access the domain name I get a .mac screen that says my .mac iweb site does not exist. Seemed all rather simple with point and click so now what? Thanks

    everytime I try to access the domain name I get a
    .mac screen that says my .mac iweb site does not
    exist.
    Most likely you made an error in the url. If you would provide the two urls someone could probably help you fix it, otherwise it's pretty impossible.

  • Why do I have to have a domain name with Lion Server?

    If I have just a small local network of macs and windows clients all under one roof do I have to have a domain name? Everything in the tutorials and looking through old posts seems to indicate that Lion Server works better if I use a domain name for my network. Pro and cons for a network newbie like myself please?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Directory Services like Apple's Open Directory or Microsoft's Active Directory use a domain name server to support running such a service. Therefore if your going to run Open Directory (in your case) you need to run a DNS server and use a domain name. The domain name does not have to be a real one but using your own real one is often easier because -
    You can be confident it is not conflicting with anyone else
    It can make later setting up email and web servers easier
    You could however use a fake domain like fakedomain.private and then your server would have an entry like server.fakedomain.private
    I would advise using Open Directory (and hence a domain) as even if now you could get away without this on a small network, hopefully your organisation will continue to grow and might need this later. Doing it now saves changing it all later when it will be more hard work.

  • How do I use my own domain name  with Mac server with iWeb

    For a number of years I have had my own domain name that when typed into a browser it would redirect the browser to my site on the .Mac server. I hear with iLife ’08 I can have my own domain name hosted by .Mac so I know longer have to have the long addresses for each pages the I have now for my site (i.e. the http://web.mac.com/thewildhearts/WildheartPhotography/NatureGalleries.html). How do I go about getting my domain name (wildheartphotography.com) so that Mac will host it and do I need to notify the current host that Mac will be hosting my site now?
    Thanks. I really appreciate the help I get from this forum.
    Pat

    It's very easy, really. You go to your domain control and redirect the address. IPower, for example points the domain name very easily: you just type in the URL of your site and it will point to your mac server.
    I've used GoDaddy before and it is a bit more difficult to "point".

  • Design a site, use my domain name, and host it via .mac

    It sounds simple, and I thought a search through these forums would yield some easy answers, but no luck, so here goes:
    I'm an advanced Photoshop and Final Cut Studio user, running an audio/video/image restoration and transfer business, but I'm a total beginner in the iWeb/.Mac area.
    About three years ago, I decided it was time for a web site, so I went to a local company; they designed and still host my site, for which I pay them $30.00 per month; it's a simple site with no ecommerce, and six or seven pages. There is a contact form through which potential customers can email me.
    I also have a domain name, for which I pay $15.00 per year to the same company.
    My site is OK, but it's the same as it was three years ago; any small changes I have asked the company to make (mostly just text additions/changes) they have done at the rate of $75.00 per hour.
    What I want to do is cancel my account with them, design a totally new site using iWeb, start a .mac account, and have the site hosted using my domain name, so that the average customer who sees my newspaper ad can navigate to my new site exactly as they can with the current one. (I only have one email account, through my ISP, which I don't want to change.)
    I've got lots of questions, but mostly, what else do I have to do to make this switch besides cancelling my account with my current company? (After an overlap period, of course) What happens with my domain name--who will I pay to keep it? And finally, what simple things am I not thinking of?
    Many thanks in advance to anyone with enough patience to read through this, and still find time to provide some assistance.

    You can design your site in iWeb and upload it to either .Mac or a commercial server.
    You would then provide the domain name registrar with your server ID number or, in the case of .Mac, your .Mac URL and instruct them to point your domain name in that direction.
    .Mac is neither intended for, nor the best option, for a business site.
    For example the company I host with - Host Excellence - allows you a free domain name registration and up to 6 sites with unlimited web mail and more server space than you are likely to need for about the cost of a .Mac account.
    Commercial servers are a lot more reliable than .Mac, have wider bandwidth and usually have good tech support.
    You only have to look at the number of problems in this forum concerning .Mac to see that tech support is not readily available from Apple.
    I'm not putting down .Mac. I use it myself for various purposes and it is good for its intended use of one clicking publishing of personal websites.

  • Site made with iWeb using personal domain name

    I have created a web site on iWeb 08 and have a personal domain name through Network Solutions.
    The website was published to Mobile Me after "set up personal domain" was done. The C Name record was changed at Network Solutions to web.me.com. When I write the domain name in the browser a box comes down asking "idisk.mac.com" wants user name and password.
    1. Why is it asking for this?
    2. every ID and Password I put in, it tells me is incorrect? Ahhhhhhhh What does it want from me?
    Please help - I've waisted so much time on this (since last week).
    The website name is www.theplazarealty.com is you want to take a look.
    Thank you

    This relates to a problem I can't find in the iWeb manual. Where is my iWeb site actually published to, so I can accurately update it using FTP software, and which method to use for publishing it to domain names?
    I have created two websites for two different purposes each with a personal domain (one hosted, the other with webforwarding), and through ignorance have done all three options Publish to MobileMe / Publish All to MobileMe / and Publish to a folder (my home computer user Sites folder). As a result I have three Sites folders each containing both 'mysites'- Computer/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Web/Sites/sitename - all different sizes, worryingly, leaving me unclear which is doing what. What is the diff between Publish All to MMe and Publish to MMe - they both seem to entail both sites totally republishing even if only one page has changed. Each time, of course, it takes several minutes or more to clear through the publishing process, and then some 20-30mins more to synchronise with FTP before I find out whether I've only used the duff old version after all. What is the difference between the three Sites destination folders? Can the difference be used productively? Should I, eg, ensure my sites exist both on my computer and iDisk as backup?
    Further confusing factor is that when I log into MMe and look at my folders icon on my iDisk, which are Sites and Web/Sites, the contents of the two 'mysites' folders listed under both areas are different from the SITES/iWeb display listed below them, which seems to be a truncated sort of merger of the 'mysites' contents without their separation into two. Is that iWeb item under SITES on the folders page listing a fourth set of the contents,or what?
    Now to synchronising/updating: which Sites folder to use to synchronise the websites with. Can I get updating in sync with republishing? My domain host UKcentric does not provide the CNAME options you have all talked about and they are unobtainable on my hosted domain page. I sent him the web.me.com message as described in the iWeb Personal Domain instrux, but he has persistently instructed me to use FTP software to upload and update the sites. He is not Mac-friendly, he admits. I have now used three programs, ClassicFTP, FileZilla and Cyberduck, all of which seem to be rather different and none of them has told me the sync has completed (the connection drops out, etc - it does take a long time, say 30-40mins to do, and I never know when I "resume" whether it'll pick up where it was or go back to zero start). If I am stuck with this laborious method of regular manual updating, I want to know I am using the correct Sites folder to synchronise the website with. None of this is clarified in the iWeb manual. Can anyone help?

  • I have a domain name with go-daddy can i use iweb to create my page?

    I'm trying to help a friend set-up a website.  he has a domain name with go-daddy but hasnt set-up the web page at all can i use iweb and upload it to the domain name he already has bought?  I'm a first time iweb user please help!!

    Your friend needs both a domain name and a web hosting account in order to get his website online.  If he has both with GoDaddy.com then yes, you can create and upload the site. 
    If he has purchased only a domain name he'll need to get a hosting service.
