Using own domain name on Business Catalyst / Muse

I have a 'complete plan' subscription to CC and I believe 5 free sites with Business Catalyst.
From checking this forum and FAQ it appears I should be able to link a domain name I currently own to a BC site so my URL drops the businesscatalyst.com element of the name. I have changed teh NS to ns1.worldsecuresystems.com (and ns2 / ns3) and the next stage is to go to Site Settings and enter the doman name.
My problem is where do I find the menu Site Settings as I can not see it within Muse?

Hi Peter
The settings to add the domain is not with Muse but in Business Catalyst domain settings.
You would need to publish the site first to Business Catalyst and then make the site live.
After performing the steps you can add the domain.

How to transfer exisitng domain names to business catalyst?

What are the requirements or what is the proccess to transfer exisitng domain names to business catalyst?
Your input is much appreciated.
FT

Business Catalyst does not have a domain hosting capabilities, so you can not transfer domains to BC.
If you would like to point a domain to BC though you either point the A-record or NS records to your BC site:

Using own domain name , duplication of web address HELP !!

Hi all,
Although this is not a big problem it is quite annoying. I am currently building website within Iweb 09. I have managed to set up my own domain name with no problems at all. The only thing is I get a duplication of my website name on the browser here it is :
*http://www.topviewweddings.co.uk/topviewweddings/Home.html*
I would ideally like to just have *http://www.topviewweddings.co.uk*
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this ??
cheers
T

One way would be to use standard domain name forwarding (not CNAME) and enable masking. That would put http://www.topviewweddings.co.uk in the URL window of ALL your pages. The downside to that is visitors can only bookmark your first page which may or may not be a problem. My tutorial site, http://toadstutorials.info , is set up that way.

Pointing an existing domain name to business catalyst.

Hi there,
I have an existing site called www.design180.co.nz. But I have designed a new site. I want to replace the old site with the new one Ive redesigned Adobe in muse. The hosting company has the domain name, I will need them to point the domain name to the business catalyst, where the new site will be hosted. Ive 5 free accounts so I will use one of them. This is where I am stuck... Does he point to "ns1.worldsecuresystems.com (54.236.190.129)" - primary DNS server.
At present the site is set up as a trial in Muse design18002.businesscatalyst.com
After he points to the site can i save the muse site as www.design180.co.nz

Hi there, I am guessing your reading the documentaiton. That is correct, if your pointing all traffic to your BC site you need to use those NS records.
What you then do is go into your site admin, into site settings and manage domains. You need to set up your domain in there.
Once you do that, it can take up to 24 hours for a .com, but for a .co.nz it should take about an hour or so tops to propergate. ISP's cache dns different so some may take longer, especially if someone is viewing outside NZ.

Configuration on domain name inside Business Catalyst

I created a web site in Muse and using Business Catalyst to upload this site.
I purchased the url (domain name) from godaddy.com.
Currently, the domain is parked at godaddy.com and I need a DNS to re-route the site back
to Adobe Business Catalyst.. how can this be done?

Sorry... This forum is to discuss the forums, not products, and not sales

Migrating domain name to Business Catalyst

After playing with Muse for a while I am looking to publish my site shortly. My current hosting package is up in January so would like to move over to Business Catalyst rather than renew that if possible.
Current hosting comes with free email addresses associated with the domain name, one of which is printed on my business card. Is there a way to keep and migrate this or do I need to lose it and reprint cards with an updated address?

You have a couple options. Since you used Muse I will guess you are thinking on using your free hosting.
The free hosting is very basic and does not have email support. You will still need to keep your domain registered with where ever it is now. Adobe doesn't host domain names.
So what you need to do after you go live is to:
Either upgrade it to a paid site and you can set the DNS at your current registerar to ns1.worldsecuresystems.com and ns2.worldsecuresystems.com
or
Just direct the A record in your domain settings where you have your domain to 192.150.2.140 and leave the MX record (email) with your current host.

Problem when using own domain name

Hi,
I recently updated my site and gave it a fresher look. I have my own damian name and use iweb and mobileme to host it. the site works fine but the one problem i have is that no matter what page I view of my site it always says my web address in the address bar. For example my site is thecarpetfitter.co.uk. It this site I have 7 pages plus some pages of photos. Now when i'm viewing my about me page the address bar still only says the main site address not thecarpetfitter.co.uk/about me. It does this for all my pages. It's a problem because nobody can bookmark an the actual page they want only the first pages that loads up (welcome page). How can I change this?
cheers

It sounds like you're using Forwarding rather than CNAME to link to MobileMe. See this article for the difference in the browser address bar:

Having trouble setting new domain name in business catalyst

Hello,
I'm having problems setting up my site to go live. Here's what I've done so far:
1) built the site and pushed it live
2) upgraded the site
3) set up a GoDaddy domain name
4) set up the servers on GoDaddy
5) set up the associate account info on BC
And then.... nothing.
I've then deleted the domain and tried to repeat the process, in case I missed something, but now I can't set up a new domaine and keep getting the error "Domain already exists. Please delete all records associated with this domain". What records? What does this even mean?
Can someone please walk me through the steps to get this site live?
Thanks!
Darin

Hi Aish,
I'm still having no luck with the site. I've triple-checked and everything is correct on the GoDaddy end. I'm attaching a screenshot of with BC portal, so you can see where I'm at. I somehow ended up with duplicate domains and I have no idea which one to delete. Also, I can't seem to enter anything for the A records, C name records, etc. Is there anything at all that support can do to get this thing up and running? It's been close to a week since I upgraded the site. Please advise.
Thanks,
Darin

What is the point in this "BScatalyst" if can not use your own domain name?!

the marketing of adobe BScatalyst is a enigma for me. What is it? when you can´t use your domain name?!

I think you need to do a lot of research and a lot of reading.
The point is: adobe has NOTHING TO OFFER besides the software (muse) for
developing a site.
Sorry to repeat this a lot but your not correct here as well.
Muse came recently and is a simple tool to help get people into making sites from the graphics and design industry basically. BC Has a full template, layout and code system:
http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/dev-assets/reference#!/module-reference/photo-galleries/m odule_photogallery.html
It has API Access, it can be developed using any coding software from Dreamweaver to Coda 2. This for many is the primary method of creating BC websites and has been for years, even before Adobe purchased the BC company.
It is always being updated as you can see with the new rendering engine and liquid markup:
http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog
The point is the CC atracts amatures, like my self, to devope sites, but
they have NOTHING to offer on the hosting side of the work.
Sorry, but none of this is correct. CC is a service created by Adobe to take all its software into the cloud, it is not just there to develop sites. In terms of storing your work in the cloud that is one of its primary functions. Ignoring BC and websites you can store your files, PSD's through your Creative Cloud account.
Your post was put under moderation automatically by the forum software because how you posted it. The caps will do it.
everything above here are without ANY interest for the common amateur muse developer. Why do you think we use muse?!
I communicate, I read and know a lot of Muse developers, Again your not correct here as well. Sorry for repeating this but this again simply not true and pretty much everything you have said so far is that.
A lot of Muse users develop very nice looking but basic in function websites, there are a lot who would like to do more such as eCommerce etc, you are not the norm in your thinking off what everything is from CC, BC and the web.
CMS me here, SAAS me there, and business analysis me over again. IT IS OF NO INTEREST FOR US MILLIONS OF MUSE USERS!
Again, this is not true. Most of the posts I see from Muse users is how they do more with BC and many want and ask how to upgrade their CC BC to offer more features. The Creative Cloud version of BC is the VERY BASIC version of it, it does not have most of the abilities it has if you have one of the higher plans.
See here:
US Yearly Pricing | Adobe Business Catalyst
A complementary product to Muse is HOSTING!
Creative Cloud is Adobe moving into the Cloud space for their products and services, Muse is an entry level designer based peace of software to create basic websites. Business Catalayst is what you do not want to research into and hosting is just storage basically.
Adobe Business Catalyst
In terms of your website, people make sites just for family etc and put them on the web, Real domain or not you can build a site for what ever you want. But its a website and will be out there on the web. Search engines like google will index such sites so if you do not want them out there on the internet do not create them to make them available.
I do not mean to be rude, but your comments are not valid and going no where. You not really understanding what anything is, your complaining about things are not true or things that you think do not exist when they do.
I have been developing sites on the Business Catalyst platform for over 5 years and using other coding platforms and other CMS's for longer then that. I am considered one of the people outside BC who know the platform for the most so please trust in what I am saying here.
If you want just hosting just use Creative Cloud or something like dropbox.
If you want to learn more about the web or building sites etc I suggest you go lean, there are many great resources out there.

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".

Using my own domain name

I'm thinking of changing my broadband to BT infinity.
This a warning I'm consistently getting from others...
"If you're looking to move to BT I'd strongly recommend you get e-mailed confirmation that the service they provide will allow you to send e-mail out from your own domain name, as many of the consumer BT packages don't allow this, forcing you to use a BT based address. Clearly not suitable considering you have your own domain etc."
Can anyone confirm that using another providers SMTP is permitted, and will work?

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Not sure where you got that warning from, as in general it's not true.
The only thing that is true, is that ISPs typically prevent access to their smtp servers when not connected to the ISP, and if using a non ISP email address - that needs extra steps to be able to send using the ISP smarthosts (e.g. mail.btinternet.com).
"Home ISPs" are different to specialist domain sellers.
I use BTinternet and my own smtp server name for my domain without any issues.
It actually depends how your domain name has been set up and whether it's just a name, and not specifically using any associated smtp server.
In this case, you need to go through something called address verification (with BTinternet) and associate a domain email address with the BTinternet email address (e.g. see my shortcuts - link below - option 0e).
You typically can't use mail.yourdomain etc as the smtp server, unless that's been specified as part of your domain package - usually at extra cost as you would be using the domain seller's servers.

When is adobe muse going to be able to use the ecommerce features in business catalyst?

when is adobe muse going to be able to use the ecommerce features in business catalyst? I need to figure this out asap. my client is using one of your templates in business catalyst but we are designing the new site in muse. How do I transfer over there current ecommerce products over to my muse design?

Attitude? No attitude. Just facts.
As to:
why is there a full version of Photoshop available on NON mac products now if that is the case?
That would be because ADOBE wrote and released a version of it for those devices.
Complain to Adobe and tell them you want iOS versions of the apps. Apple has nothing to do with it.

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!)
