how to move my website to Fat Cow

When moving from mobileme I recommend you follow this video. This is what I followed and got me going;

iWeb has two other ways to publish your site...

... and the second method allows you a choice of how you upload the files...

Here's a publishing workflow checklist...

The MobileMe only features can be replaced by alternatives...

If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.

Use an FTP application to upload these assets to the root folder on your new server...

...and change the relevant URLs to...

There are lots of options for hosting for about half the cost of MobileMe...

If you have an existing domain name, you need to point it to your new account. Contact your domain name registrar about this. Your hosting company will supply you with the necessary info - mainly the nameservers. Note that its a lot more convenient to transfer your domain name registration to your hosting company.

If you have been using a web.me.com domain name, you need to register a new one. Most hosting services give you at least one free and registering with your hosting company will make forwarding and managing it a lot easier.

Make sure you add the new name to Google and create, upload and enter a new sitemap.xml...

If you have inbound links on other sites...

... remember to inform the webmasters of you new URL.

Apple has this help sheet for moving sites from MobileMe to a hosting provider: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4686

And the tech support at Fatcow should be able to help guide you through it.

I don't recommend this page to anyone since it has some really bad advice that has caused quite a few people problems.
