Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac

Instead of publishing your site to .Mac, you can publish your site to a folder on a local destination (your hard disk, for example) and then upload it to the server or hosting provider of your choice.

To publish your site somewhere other than .Mac:

Step 1

Choose File > “Publish to a Folder.”

If you have Subscribe buttons on your site, you must specify your site’s URL in the message that appears.

Step 2

Choose a location to store your site, and then click Choose.

Step 3

Use a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client to upload the site folder and index file to the location of your choice.

iWeb does not provide an FTP client, but they are easy to obtain. Some hosting services provide a web-based FTP upload service, or you can download an FTP client from the web. For more information, contact your server administrator.

If you don’t publish your site to .Mac, these features are unavailable:

Apple;s purchase of Lala.com gave analysts and journalists an excuse to engage in one of their favorite pastimes, to wit, Guessing Apple's Strategy. The company is notoriously opaque about its motives for much of what it does, so there are plenty of opportunities for folks like me to play this game. Anyway, one popular theory is that Apple is positioning itself to offer a subscription music service, based on Lala’s streaming technology.

You’re going to have formulate your own opinion.

I’ve worked with various versions of Apple’s Mac OS X Server for nearly a decade now. Each new release has brought major advances to the company’s server software in terms of overall features, performance and ease of administration. The most recent iteration, version 10.6 — a.k.a. Snow Leopard Server — is no exception.

It offers a number of advances compared to Leopard Server (v. 10.5), which was released two years ago.
