How to setup a Godaddy Hosted URL with a Mobile Me Web Host Account

Is this setup correct for setting up a go daddy hosted domain name and pointing it to my iWeb account?

CNAME "HOST" field = "www"
CNAME "Points to" field = "web.me.com"

I've posted a screen grab of my setup below.

+*Oh and FYI.+*

*I know there is another post on this but nobody actually posted any images of the Godaddy setup screens and the post is 5 pages long and has tons of rants. So I'm posting it again.*

Yes, that is correct with the www pointing to web.me.com.

Two more questions:

1. Is there other settings needed other than just waiting for this setting to update on the servers?

2. Can you clarify if I will see my domain name or the mobile me domain name once a person browses to the site?

Yes! You do see your own domain and page path.

e.g. http://www.epiwellness.com/Site/Welcome.html

not just http://www.epiwellness.com/ no matter what page you are on, like what you see if you use godaddy.com "forwarding" option.

URL definitely changes when you change pages.

Case Closed!

Luke
