This tutorial will show you how to point your registered domain name at MobileMe so you can use Apple's iWeb hosting services with your personal domain name.
Visit http://me.com then sign in with your member name and password.
If you are taken directly to your MobileMe webmail inbox, click on your name and select Account.
Enter your account password for verification and then click Continue.
Click on Personal Domain.
Click on Add Domain.
Enter your domain name in both text boxes, then click Continue.
Before your iWeb site can be view using your registered domain name, we need to configure a CNAME record for your domain in Hover. We will return to the MobileMe page in a few minutes.
Open a new web browser window to log into Hover.
Visit http://www.hover.com and click on the Sign In link.
Sign into Hover with your Hover username and password.
Under the List of Domains tab, click on the domain name that you will be using with MobileMe.
Select the Manage Domain tab then click on Name Servers.
Your domain name servers need to be pointed at ns1.hover.com and ns2.hover.com. If you are not already using our name servers, click on the domain settings link to unlock your domain.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Registry Records, set your domain to unlocked, then click Save.
Click on Name Servers again and change your name servers to ns1.hover.com and ns2.hover.com then click Save.
Click on Manage DNS.
Click on the Click here link.
Create a new record with the following information:
Hostname: www
Type: CNAME
Target Host: web.me.com
Click Save.
Please note: If you have an existing www host record, you will need to click on the X to delete it before you can create the new CNAME record.
The new CNAME record has been added.
Return to your MobileMe account and click Done.
MobileMe is now configured to host your registered domain! It may take approximately 24 hours for these settings to take effect. Click on Return to Summary.
Now that your domain is pointed at your MobileMe account, you can start building your website through iWeb. Here are some links that can help you get started:
