Using my existing domain name to refer to a .Mac website created with iWeb

How do I have my domain name connect to my .Mac website address, without using a slow redirect?

The place where you got your domain name should be able to tell you how to forward to your web.mac.com url. Nothing to do with Apple or iWeb really.

Can't get paid domain name to work in mobile me website created by iweb.

Bought my domain name from 1&1 and I've set everything up correctly I believe. One Question about Cname at 1&1, does it need a dot after the www.web.me.com
the domain is www.skin2win.com and it takes me to the apple sight saying sorrybut we can't find the iWeb page you've requested. It's possible that: etc etc etc. Go there and see. I am trying mobile me for 2 months free but I don't think I'll buy cause i've had so many problems. Any suggestions?

does it need a dot after the www.web.me.com
Yes and no. (see the quote below) *I don't think you use the www in front of the web.me.com*. The following is taken from the first link below:
" 2 - Point your personal domain to MobileMe by going to your domain name registrar’s domain name service (DNS) management area, creating a “www” CNAME record, and then pointing it to “web.me.com” or “web.me.com.” (including the period) in the address field."

How to publcish new Muse Site with existing domain name

We've created a new site in MUSE and we are ready for it to go live via BC. can we just use the same domain name of our existing site that is hosted by others? Will it replace it? Or do I have to cancel my existing hosting service first?
Thanks!

Hi
You may create site using Muse, have the Muse project published to Business catalyst.Once done, have the site launched as either free site you get or as paid one based on you requirements.
Once the site is launched, you may have the domain added to the site via site settings > site domains > new domain.
When you add the domain you have two options :
1. Use our DNS service
2. Use External DNS service
Based of your requirement , you will need to add the domain and have the domain redirected to Business catalyst where the site is now hosted.
As far your existing site is concerned, you may want to keep it until the muse site is ready and published to business catalyst. However, once you are ready and domain is redirected , you may cancel your subscription with third party hosting service .
You may find some links listed below helpful ( are related to process explained above) :

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".

How do I configure snow leopard server to allow local client to access the server using its public domain name

I have SLS 10.6 running on my local network with DNS configured.
I can access the server from a client on the lan using server.local or server.domain where domain name is my publically registered domain,
From the internet I can access my server using the registered domain name i.e. www.domain.com.
Is it possible to set my server up so that www.domain.com also reaches the server when used by a client locally? At present I get a page not found error.

The configuration you're aiming for is called split-horizon or split-brain DNS, and it's quite possible. It can get slightly hairy when you have different stuff using the same host name for different purposes, for instance, and you'll need to track all external DNS entries in your internal DNS server when you're running "split".
Here is how to set up DNS services. Split-horizon is one of the options listed there.
My preference is to use a different domain or subdomain within the network, and to avoid using split-horizon where I can reasonably manage it. One domain name is configured for and reachable outside and is effectively public, and the other domain (or a subdomain) is inside and private and only reachable directly or via VPN, for instance.

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.

Using a personal domain name

I am trying to use a personal domain name with my iWeb page. I found the directions to do so - it says go to File>Set Up Personal Domain. I am using iWeb 06 and I do not have an option under File (or anywhere else) to "set up personal domain". What am I doing wrong?

I wonder if you could help. I have iWeb 08 and have followed the instructions for personal domain name and its be 4 days now and my page is still loading with the long address. I've contacted .mac about his but nothing yet. Do you know what to do?
Did you purchase a personal name and, at the place where you have it, set the www CNAME to web.mac.com? Or arrange ordinary forwarding?
Could you provide your personal domain name plus the name you gave your site inside the iWeb app?

Using your personal domain name in .Mac/iWeb?

Hi people, just a question about using my personal domain name which I have from UKreg.
Anyone know how to use this in iWeb? I have looked at a few sites explaining it, but looks like a hard task!
Thanks : )

It's very easy actually. Follow the directions and links here:

Using your own domain name on your Verizon personal website

If you go to the Verizon Site-Builder page and then click FAQ, you read this for #13:
13. Can I use my own domain name? Answer: If you own a domain name and would like to use it as the main address of your site, you will need to make arrangements with your domain name provider to redirect visitors to your Verizon Online mysite.verizon.net address from your current domain name.
Verizon Online does not currently offer personalized domain name registration, but we are working on providing this option to you in the near future. Updates will be provided on the Site Builder home page, so check back often.
The above statement has been listed for quite some time. Does anyone know whether this option is now available? (There's no updated statement about it on the Site Builder home page, and there is no one to ask!)
