  Run your iWeb website sans .Mac
By mtcadmin
07-31-2006
.Mac was a wonderful service. I used it for two years myself and it was the perfect online complement to the iLife experience.

Was. As in 2001 wondeful. Even though I'm a big Apple fanboy, .Mac, I'm afraid to admit, is just not worth $100/year.

When it first came out, .Mac, then iTools, had no parallel in the Windows world. However,

Besides, with all the free web services out there, I sometimes wish Apple gets on the Web 2.0 bandwagon and just offer .Mac as a loyalty or advertiser supported service...

One can dream...

In the meantime, you can still use Mac to share your iWeb creations sans .Mac.

How?

Its not exactly

Allow me to finish for ......

Dot Mac is a no brainer that mounts to your Mac like a second, if not slower hard drive. Every year I get enough free stuff through .Mac to justify the expense. Sound loops for GarageBand, free games from Freeverse, and Version Tracker to name some of the more memorable stuff. Great QuickTime tutorials too.
IF you Like Banners and SPAM tri GeOcITes or Yahoo

You get what you pay for. Sometimes you get more.

Ooppsss...
Sorry Bernie... I didn't know it was publicly reachable... I've been working on Parallels Central and been putting placeholders on the site.

In a nutshell, doing it on the cheap requires:
- turn on Personal Web Sharing
- registering a dyndns account for your Mac
- redirecting port 80 on your router to your computer
- having iWeb publish on your Sites folder
- creating a redirect from the generic Apache welcome screen to your Sites folder (http://mydyndnsname.dyndns.net to http://mydyndnsname.dyndns.net./~bernie)

Let me see if I understand what you said. My computer becomes the server and I can not turn it off. That's right I am here for comic relief.
