Which web hosting company for my iWeb site?

Hi everyone.
I was going to let my iWeb site just die with MobileMe, but decided to go ahead and get hosting for it to keep it online. I'm trying find advice on which company to choose. After looking online I saw this one company called Little Oak is a mac web hosting company, and they are offering a 25% discount right now to host websites (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012
Can anyone vouch for their reputation? Or can you offer up any other companies that I should consider?
Thank you.
Anne.

I use Little Oak for my site, and I can genuinely recommended. They are great. And in regards to pricing, it is relative. You can find really budget and cheap hosting, you can even find free hosting. But you usually get what you pay for. I would stay away from free hosting if you want decent service. I really like and value the service I get from LO. And that 25% coupon looks like a good reason to try them. I've called or IM with them at all hours of the day, and always get great service.
Its true that most web hosting companies offer similar prices and packages, what you really want to see if a companies reputation for service, because when things go wrong, you want to be sure you are going to be taken care of.
I'm sure whoever you go with, they will be able to help you move your site over. Here is a help sheet from Apple to get you started: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4686).

Any suggestions for good free web hosting service for my IWeb page, other than MObileMe

Any suggestions for good free web hosting service for my IWeb page, other than MobileMe?

MobileMe is not free.
Search : free webhosting
You can narrow the results by being more specific by adding town, province or country.
You can also start by checking out your own ISP.
Or be free as in here : www.000webhost.com

Which web host company works best with iWeb/macs

I apologize.. I should have done a search on my topic
instead of posting a new one.
Getting answers through search is hit or miss depending on what terms you use and how much time and patience you have on your hands. And sometimes it's just easier to ask your question because you might not know how best to search for your answer.
Don't ever hesitate to start a new thread to ask your questions. That is what this forum is for.

What to look for in a web hosting company for Flex applications

Hello,
I am trying to figure out what I need to look for in a web
hosting company if I want to deploy my own Flex applications? I
don't anticipate having any special requirements other than the
ability to interact with databases and XML files. Can someone help
me figure out what the server-side requirements are?
Thanks in advance!
Matt

then almost 99.9% hosting will work.
if you want a Flexx app with compiler then oo thats different
but as you say "I don't anticipate having any special requirements
other than the ability to interact with databases and XML files"
then you can go with pretty much any hosting, as long as they have
apache, Database serve and I think thats it.

Which web host?

Hi - I just discovered iWeb and fell in love with it. I'd love to continue using iWeb for blogging personally with my family and close ones with password protection. I learned that MobileMe is not accepting anyone new until iCloud is set in. iCloud does not support web/blog. I'd like to know which web host is compatible with Mac/Apple/iWeb? Also provides password protection, too. Or at least how do I know it's good with iWeb?

iWeb has been tested with Lion and is reported to work at advertised: RoaringApps APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY WIKI FOR MAC OS X LION

How do I change the default bookmark name for my iWeb site?

I'm not sure where the label is coming from that automatically appears as the bookmarked name for my iWeb site and I want to change it.

I found my answer in the archived discussion "Bookmarking my site". It worked - thanks!

Directory for my iWeb site

How do I create a directory for my iWeb site?

You will have to do it manually, a first page using whatever template seems to fit best and then create a link and description of each item you want in the directory. Something like this maybe? It could have links to the pages or not.

Can anybody recommend a UK based host for an iWeb site?

I need to know where to host my iweb site with the least technical difficulty.I have seen on ichat HomeExcellence which sounds ok buy it is US based.

24/7 tech support is a lot more important than location. I've been using Host Excellence for 7 years now and haven't found any reason to change.
Their associated service - IXWebhosting - offers really good value for those who only have one site but need the option fo another dedicated IP address. Their tech support has been really helpful to those to whom I have recommended this service as you will see here...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
Most tech support people don't seem to understand how iWeb creates sites and can be rather unhelpful.
One of the main advantages of the above mentioned services is the fact that they allow you to create a root folder with the same name as your site in iWeb. This goes a long way to helping you understand the concept of the root folder and the file/folder structure on the server.

Please suggest good web hosting company.

I've had my web sites hosted with a company for the past four years, but in the past few months, and particularly the past few weeks, their service has gone to crap. I couldn't access email for hours today.
Can anyone suggest good web hosting companies? I don't need advanced features like being able to use BlazeDS and ColdFusion, but I need stuff like PHP, MySQL, Perl, Python, Linux or Unix, Ruby on Rails, AND QUALITY 24/7 SUPPORT.
Thanks in advance.

How much you looking to pay??? and how technical are you?
I used to have a private server for 135 a month, installed whatever and did whatever I wanted on it, it was pretty liberating...Just remote into it, and admin'd the thing.
For email I just used google, routed my domain through google and was good to go, no headache of setting or managing some exchange server and it was free, they do have a pay option, which is fairly priced if you need tech support, but google's never been down for me...

Browser address for my iWeb site...

I would like my browser address to show my official company name i.e. www.mycompany.com instead of what I am seeing which is http://web.me.com/myname/mycompanyname/Home.html. This seems to be making it hard to find my iWeb site on a google search.

Google doesn't care about your address. It happily indexes your pages as soon as it finds you.
To use a domain name at MobileMe :
You publish to MobileMe. With or without a domainname.
To use your domainname, follow the instructions in your MobileMe account where you setup Personal Domain:
https://secure.me.com/account/
Where you'll find a link to [iWeb: Using your own domain name|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1107]
Or read it in the [MobileMe help|http://help.apple.com/mac/1/help> : Account > Setting up a Personal Domain
You can have only one domainame with Personal Domain at MobileMe. To use the other one you have to enable URL forwarding where you host your domainname.
There's also a forum dedicated to this subject : [MobileMe iWeb and Personal Domain|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1163]

Recommended Web Hosting companies for Video/Photographers

In starting up my own videography and photography business are there any web hosting companies that someone could recommend that have the adequate bandwidth to support lots of photo and video downloading? Most, if not all the, elcheapo hosting services (Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc.) have cheap prices but crappy speed. I don't mind paying for what I need but I expect it to be delivered.

Actually I am looking into just that. I have a litney of questions I just sent to their support staff that I figured were too lengthy to ask here.
I might as one. It would be VERY worthwhile to be able to get more stats than just hits. Not being a Zen Web Master, is this possible with a .mac account? Is it as simple as just putting in some hooks into my web page to enable this?
I've been looking around asking some friends I have in and out of multiple business and, rightly so, most of the feedback I've seen, the hosting companies want, up front, estimates of what my use will be and at what speeds. I've not a clue on these stats. Kind of a catch 22. Don't know the stats until you get a web site up but can't get a web site until I know the stats. This is where a .mac account would be idea, at least for starters but I think to be really useful I would need to be able to get the statistics. Also, I want my own URL with my company name in it. I believe that this is possible but I think I need to first register my name externally and then I somehow link to it from a .mac account. I've got no idea how to do this other than getting a name. That is easy.

Buy & Sell Tools for new iWeb site

Hello,
I've had a Hompage website business for sometime, but with iWeb and the fact that somehow my business can now be Googled has made me take a hard look at what I created and how I am going to shape it into a sucessful small business.
My biggest concern is that I do not have any real buy & sell tools to go with my business. I ran across a mention in this forum about RegNow, but I honestly cannot figure out what they actually do. I want some legitimate enterprise to provide the tools I need so my credit card customers can buy from me. I would also like for my customers to have the ability of tracking their order as well.
Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Phillip

You could just set-up a Paypal on your site and that would be easy and effective. Look here to find out how to get a Paypal button on your site:

If you shipped through UPS or Fed-Ex you could e-mail your customers a tracking number so they can track their order.
Check out http://iWebTricks.com for other iWeb tips and place your mark on my Guestmap (that I just figured out how to open in a new custom-sized window) while you're there.

Web Hosting Manager for Sun JES?

Does somebody know about realizations of Web Hosting Manager (like Cpanel/WHM) for Sun Web server?
Does Cpanel port for Sun JES / Sun Solaris exist? Or some software system based on Java?

Sorry, if my question was incomprehensible. Some explanations below ...
I try to find solution, which will allow to use Sun Java System Web Server as comfortable platform for web hosting. Functionality of needed software package should be similar to functionality of Cpanel/WHM.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPanel (or directly http://www.cpanel.net):
"cPanel ("Control Panel") is a graphical web-based web-hosting control panel, designed to make administration of websites easy. cPanel handles all aspects of website administration in its interface.
WebHost Manager (WHM) is a web-based tool used by server administrators and resellers to manage hosting accounts on a web server."
Unfortunately, Cpanel/WHM is developed and supported for Linux (or FreeBSD)/Apache platform.
Questions below.
1. Does somebody know about installation and using of Cpanel/WHM on Sun Web Server / Solaris?
2. Does somebody know about software systems with same functionality, but written for Sun Web Server / Solaris?

Using iMovie to create movies for an iWeb site

Hi, all:
Relative Mac noob; please be kind. I think I'm going to answer my own question, anyway, but I thought I'd ask... and I'll cross-post in the iWeb section, too.
I am planning to add some movies to my site. I've done the preliminary layout work, and just need to edit and upload the video.
Up to now, I have always used, and am comfortable with, iMovie HD 6. I've never used iMovie '08, even though I installed the iLife '08 upgrade two months ago.
Which version of iMovie - '08 or HD 6 - is better suited to the task of editing digital video that will be added to an iWeb site? One source file is a QuickTime movie I've already got; the rest of the video I'll be shooting in the coming week or so.
I think that the older version of iMovie is going to suit me better, 1) b/c I already know it and 2) it has more powerful editing capabilities, no?
Thanks,
Bill from CT

Which version of iMovie - '08 or HD 6 - is better suited to the task of editing digital video that will be added to an iWeb site?
As always, use the editor that has the features needed for the project.
