Using own domain

I have my own domain and have made all the necessary moves to have it point to web.me.com
when I enter my web address, it takes me to a site I set up on iWeb but no menu and I cannot seem to access my other sites. If I place a "/" followed by the sute name I get taken to the "looking for Something on MobileMe page. What am I missing?

I have sorted it out
The Library folder has to be dragged to the top
Now I have to produce a Home Page I guess....

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:

Using own domain - newbie needs help!

I've never created a webpage before, so bear with me! I've started one in iWeb and purchased my own domain from GoDaddy.com. I changed the CNAME per the directions of iWeb/me.com. However, my page is not being published under the personal domain name I purchased. The domain name is showing up on me.com under my webpages. I've "Published All to .Mac" and when it asks me to go to my site after it's published, I get the generic GoDaddy parked site for my personal domain. What else do I need to do to get this working? Sorry to be so ignorant, but any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!

What you need to do to set-up CNAME is to firstly enter your domain name into the personal domain name option of MobileMe. If you look, you will see that www is already there, so you don't need to enter this, just yourdomainname.com or whatever and then confirm it in the second box and click on done and it will be set.
You then need to go to your control panel settings at GoDaddy, where you got your domain name from. What you need is the DNS settings and your domain name should already show there. All are slightly different, but what you then need to do is enter www, then pick CNAME from a drop down menu or complete it and then either web.mac.com or web.me.com to redirect your domain name. This then means that you domain name will be forwarded to your iWeb site at web.mac.com.
If you want a simpler way to do it, you can just use web forwarding instead, which means that you don't need to complete the personal domain in your MobileMe account. All you need do is go to the web forwarding section of your control panel at GoDaddy and enter your domain name and then forward it to web.mac.com/username/sitename or web.me.com/username/sitename.
Remember that for CNAME forwarding you always forward to web.mac.com and for just forwarding you would enter web.mac.com/username/sitename.
CNAME forwarding can take up to 24 hours to take effect, so you could have a wait, although most hosting companies are a lot quicker than this.

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.

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?
Peter H

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 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".

We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)? What vendor should we use to make it push and work well? We want to stay with Apple Mail.

Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain. iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail. Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/ a lot more expensive?

Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

You publish to a folder and use an ftp program like Cyberduck, Fetch, or Transmit to upload. I recommend you not use Dreamweaver. Some tips:

HT4436 Can I use my own domain name as my iCloud email address?

Recently downsized to a one person office and now thinking of dumping my outdated Exchange server and using iCloud. I want to continue using my private domain though. Is this possible?

I seem to have made this work on my Mac, although I can't make it send from my domain on my iPhone or iPad.
Set up your iCloud account as normal
Use your personal domain email address as a custom setting
Use a gmail account as the outgoing server (iCloud won't send using any other domains, but gmail will)
(Remember to make sure your personal domain is set up to use iCloud / MobileMe / .Mac)
When you send email ignore the fact that the sending address appears to be iCloud. If doesn't seem to come out that way because of the alias you have set (your own domain).
You should be able to receive email sent to your domain in iCloud, and send using it too. iCloud provides a service in the background.

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.

Using my own domain

Hi,
I have my own domain for personal purposes. All email to my own domain email account forward to my @btinternet.com mail address, when I was using BT webmail through Yahoo I could send and receive emails using my own domain email address but with new BT webmail I can only send using my @btinternet.com address with a reply-to of my domain.
Is there any way I can get the old functionality back?
Thanks

I do exactly the same as you, only the other way round. I forward residual mail from my BT accounts to my domain mail, and use my domain mail as my main email account (and I access that not via webmail but by downloading to my desktop with pop3/smtp and an email client - MSOutlook). If you use mobile devices then you may prefer to use either IMAP or pop3 with mails left on the server.
ISPs are not committed to email, and several of the mass market ISPs like BT, have recently got into the habit of shifting providers, and it generally isn't good news for customers. Sky had a bad time moving customers TO Yahoo email, and BT are having a difficult time moving customers AWAY from Yahoo to OpenWave, and Virgin Media ported all their email to Gmail.
liquorice is right - it's easier to be in control by paying the very small amount of money required for a domain name and a few email boxes then setting up your ISP and any other email addresses to forward TO the domain mailbox.
If/when I am migrated from BTYahoo to BTMail, I will simply set up the forwarding again on the new BTMail interface, root out who is still sending me mail on my BT addresses and try and get them to stop, and then hopefully forget about BTMail completely.
BT will be delighted, as it will save them money, save them support costs and save them bandwidth.

Using my own domain with iCloud email

I've had my own domain and email address for over a decade, and it's lasted me through a number of providers. Is there any reasonable way to use it with iCloud? It seems like iCloud is tied to a new .me email address, and it's not like I'm going to change my everyday email address to use it.
—Andreas

Hi,
I have found away that I think may help you.
Background as to why I use it. I have a @me.com address and Gmail but my contacts only know my Gmail account but I wanted to use cloud email so it would sync properly across all my devices, MBP, iPad and iPhone and also have the push email that the previous Mobile Me had and iCloud has now
So what I have done on my MBP is this. I use Mail.
You need to go into system preferences and select iCloud...in here turn off Mail and Notes.
Now open Mail and select preferences. Then select accounts. Delete all accounts there.
Now set up a new account by pressing the + button. After that enter the details as if you were setting up to use your Me.com account and press CREATE.
You now go to a page where you can edit all your mail settings manually. In the first section of the page you have:
Account Type - This should say - iCloud IMAP
Description - This can be described by you to be anything
Email Address - This is the email address you want people recieving the email to see
Full Name - As it says put your name
Incoming Mail Server - If you want the mails to come from iCloud then use: p99-imap.mail.me.com
User Name: The user name of the icloud
Password: the password of icloud
**Note** In this section you are putting in where you want the mails to come from. In this case I wanted the mails to come from iCloud so I forwarded all my mails from my Gmail account to my @me.com address, and then got iCloud to deliver them.
Outgoing Mail Server: Now this is the interesting part. I have changed this to the GMAIL server on my Gmail account. I have done this as I want my mails saved also at my Gmail account so by routing them through Gmail this happens as well as recording the sent mails at iCloud.
On iPhone and iPad you just add iCloud and then turn off mail again. Now you set up a mail account using the other option.
1. IMAP Account Information - In here i put the information that i want my contacts to see
2. Incoming Mail Server - I put the iCloud information
3. Outgoing Mail Server - I put the Gmail server
So in short now, i get complete syncing of my mails across my 3 iDevices and have the extra back up of iCloud, but my clients do not see my @me.com (iCloud) email address, they see my Gmail address that I have been using for many years so there is no confusion for them.
I really hope you get all of that, this is the first time I have helped on here so am very much a newbie but it seems to be working for me.

Use my own domain for email on iphone 3GS

Hi,
Is it possible to use my own domain name for my email on the iphone 3GS?
Any help would be great, thanks

If you already have such an email domain working on a computer you should be able to configure the iPhone to use it. It can be a bit tricky if you must be connected to your home cable or other specific network to send email, but that can be done, too.
