What happens to iWeb when there's no Mobile Me?

like e.g. the hit counter... but as technology develops

it can be done, see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3821694?answerId=17928972022#17928972022

I understand, apologes not needed.

There was no disrespect intended. But you'd be surprised how many users here don't know about the spell checker. In the interest of expediency I often assume the poster doesn't know and offer the info. I just assumed that if you saw the many offerings you'd be able to recognize the correct one. Many spell checks only offer one, maybe two options. My apologies.

Thank you for the link.

Thank you very much Cyclosaurus

Okay I am ready to make the move from MobileMe to something for my iWeb websites. I have many websites each with many pages all made on iWeb. When searching for a host (not sure if that is the correct term) do I need to find one that allows multiple IP adreeses? iWeb allows creating a new site and new pages so I do not know what I need.

Yes, the account I use allows up to 15 sites with their own IP address and therefore domain name...

http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html

When checking this out, look for the number of dedicated IP addresses available with the account.

First sorrry for the spelling I am dislex.

Secound some background; I run 3 website and have installed and run in the past over 15 all with diffent domains some have been hosted by 3rd party hosting companeys and some I have hosted on my computers/servers in my office and 2 are at a computer senter I run.

To answer Roddy; Domain names to IP addresses? you CAN have multiple domain names on one IP.

Do you need a single IP for one Domain? this is much more complex and is best left for a diffient forum (e-mail me if you need to know more)

Each website need's one Domain, sub-Domain or sub-part of a Domain (www.domain.com, sub-domain.domain.com or www.domain.com/sub-part).

Example:

a joomla (Content managment system (CMS)) http://www.tompkins-macqueen.com/Joomla/

a iWeb site http://www.tompkins-macqueen.com/Site-2/Welcome.html

Sandvox (a iWeb altinatave) http://www.holidayaegina.com/

I did have http://photo.tompkins-macqueen.com but that site is down for a re-think

All of these sites are hosted on one account and one IP address the Hosting company in the case "godaddy" sorts out the bandwith and servers.

each site can have as many pages as you want.

The better question is dose the hosting company support the fuctions that you use in iWeb (see next post)

iWeb support the problem is with some of the Widgets. "MobilMe Gallery" being the ovice one that will no longer (when mailbileme stops) work Some people have taled about a Apple "Hit Counter" and perhaps the "Countdown" widget not working.

Most web hosts offer "PHP" (a proghramming languge DON"T PANIC you don't need to know programming to use this) and this gives you access to lot's on add ins/Widgets to your website.

The key is moving things like Gallerys for the Widgets/mobileme me way of doing things to standare website ways. How? First store your photo's in iPhoto or Aperture(or some other way of keeping your photo's orginized (i don't know about iCloud) then in iWeb make new page and chouse "Photos" or "My Albums" you can poplat these pages direct from iPhoto and Aperture. There are other was like "picasa" that have plugins for iPhoto and Aperture and can be liked to from your website.

Moving on, I have found hostting companys that are specifically for MAC but thay seem more expencive than others and I am not shoure that there are any advarntages to these.

Well I hope that gave some pointers

A good start point

P.S.

Perhaps a better view

One other thing I have found out is meny of the companys give indrouction prices so wachout for that.

Thanks for the links and advice. I'm going to hang on for MacMate.me I think - I've been having a good email conversation with them and they seem like they know their stuff. They reply pretty quickly too, almost like IM!

I use NewMobileMe. I can have multiple iWeb sites even though I don't have domain names.

Then take a look at this tutorial: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb. With one domain name you can have multiple websites. I have one domain name, oldtoad.net, and multiple websites with the following URL:

oldtoad.net/Demo_1

oldtoad.net/Demo_2

oldtoad.net/Demo_3

oldtoad.net/Demo_4

oldtoad.net/HelperSite

oldtoad.net/HelperSite2.

Or you can use subdomains and have the url to be like this:

Demo_1/oldtoad.net

Demo_2/oldtoad.net

etc.

You can publish Iweb through JUST HOST. This is a great web host site and there are a couple of guys there that know Iweb really well. They can even show you how to publish directly through your Iweb FTP port instead of having to go through Cyberduck or another outside port.

And here you can learn to practice the routine :
