[QUOTE="smultron, post: 1112002, member: 172538"] An iWeb website SHOULD be hosted on a real web host and not MobileMe for the following reasons; 1) MobileMe is for personal hosting 2) You need to use CNAME forwarding WITHOUT domain masking* if you are using MobileMe and have a domain name. If you don't do this, don't expect any good results. If you do already do this, it's still not as good as having a real web host. *domain masking means as you go from page to page on your site the address bar at the top of your browser doesn't change (it will always be yourdomain.com). You don't want this. 3) You can use any web host but don't buy the SEO Tools. They won't report correctly for iWeb sites because of the meta refresh. What you really want to do is make sure you use this short URL method with a REAL web host; [url=http://www.ragesw.com/blog/2010/08/24/how-to-create-visitor-friendly-short-urls-with-iweb/]How To Create Visitor Friendly Short URLs with iWeb[/url] [/QUOTE]
