Does anyone know of any issues between the two? Issues concerning hosting and publishing? I'm having (still) problems getting sites to load that are specifically hosted by GoDaddy.
I personally use another hosting service, but have a number of clients who go through a local agent--who hosts through them.
I'm not absolutely sure that the GD host is my problem...just trying to gather info to narrow down the problem...
Thx in advance~!
Hi EurekaJanet, I've actually hosted with GoDaddy with clients quite a bit using iWeb and I haven't had any problems. Make sure you use the domain name as the host http://www.name.com, username, password, and you should be set.
Thank you very Muchly~!...that points me in a good direction.
cheers~!
I too have been having some issues since I switched over to Godaddy. Every time I change a page in iweb, when I go to publish the site again, even though it says that the changes have been made, when I go to the site they haven't. For some reason, when my site was first published on mobile me and later Godaddy in the URL bar it listed my site name twice. After Godaddy helped me fix that problem, now when I try to republish the site, it wants to send the files to a place where it lists my site name twice; obviously that site doesn't exist so I can get my site updated. My site is called 110percentlifestyle.com. For some reason iweb wants to call it 110percentlifestyle.com/110percentlifestyle.com. Can you help me with this?
Janet, I also have used IWeb with godaddy for a while. Have posted numerous sites and change almost daily without issues. I always test connection first. Any hiccup in the connection, can corrupt the upload. Drop me a line if I can be of any help. Usually the directory path box would be a / .
King, once you go to your site, using the .com address, the name of your first page under your site name will appear in the url address line. you can shorten this and the look will be much better. us a / or an abbreviated name. Most people don't pay attention to it when on the site. With your publishing, once you have published once, just use the publish site changes. If you continue to have issues, I would suggest to move all files out to a blank new site, and upload only 1 blank page. do it twice. this should clear out your hosting. Then move back your files, remove the blank (as first files become your home page) and publish again. Hope this helps. The updates with Iweb 09 should have corrected all these issues.
71detomaso, I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying I need to create a new site, then publish blank pages to that site? I had contacted Godaddy and they helped me get rid of the second name issue on the site; however, when I try to republish changes, iweb for some reason still wants to upload to the double name site, which now doesn't exist. Does what I'm saying make sense to you, because it is kind of hard to explain.
