Personal Domains in dot.Mac

Superglue · 29th June 2008, 21:10

Does any one know whether we could set up more than 01 personal domains in dot.Mac..? I've already set up one personal domain and the website I made in iWeb is on that domain. What I'd like to do is to make another site and put it on another personal domain..

A little Googling reveals that you can only set up one personal domain with .Mac. However you can with most domain name registration do domain masking/forwarding so it appears that the user goes to your .Mac site when in fact they're not. That works pretty okay but has it's issues.

I don't have enough information about what you are trying to setup...

If I understand you correctly, you have a site that you are hosting with .Mac , and you've created the site using the easy publishing tool in iWeb.

What you want to do now is create *another* website, with a completely different domain, but still publish it using iWeb to your .Mac account.

Right?

If so, this is easy (although it may not seem like it).

First, sign up for an account at zoneedit.com (free)

Then, at your registrar (where you registered your domains), change the nameservers to those provided to you by zoneedit.

In iWeb, create one site with two logical sites underneath (follow?).
- Say you have two sites, alpha.com and beta.com. your .Mac site is homepage.mac.com/theta

- In iWeb create your basic site, then add a folder called alpha.com and a folder called beta.com

-put all the stuff for alpha.com in the alpha.com folder, same with beta

Now, the trick:
Back at zoneedit, create a WebForward and enter alpha.com as a forward to http://homepage.mac.com/theta/alpha.com

Might sound confusing (and I probably didn't explain it very well), but I hope this helps.
