[X4U] Hosting on Dot Mac

[Neil Laubenthal]

Hi Kathy . . . I must have phrased the question poorly . . .let me try  
again. I got a couple private replies that also gave essentially this  
same answer so it must have been me and not the repliers:-)

I know that you can just manually copy web sites up to you iDisk and  
put them in the sites folder . . .but then you have to use a url like  
homepage.mac.com/dotmacusername.

They have a new feature that allows you to host your own domain . . .  
you set the domain up in Dot Mac preferences . . . then set your  
domain DNS to point to homepage.mac.com (nothing to do with your  
domain name). Then you set your domain name in iWeb 08 and it  
publishes your site to the right folder name on your iDisk. I was  
wondering what "the right folder name" might be and if you manually  
created this folder and set the preferences and DNS if all would still  
work as it should.
