    Where are you hosting the domain? On MobileMe or an external server?

    In iWeb, under the "Help" menu, select "iWeb Help"... then in the search box, type "domain name hosting" ... it should come up with a couple of topics that might help you.

    1) Log into your GoDaddy account.

    2) Under Domains, click Domain Manager.

    3) Click on your domain name.

    4) Click on Forwarding link.

    5) In the Foward to: field, type your mobile me URL (http://web.me.com/<your mobileme name>)

    6) Click OK.



    It will take a few minutes for the forward to update, but after that, you should be able to type in your domain that you bought and it will forward to your mobile me site.



    Hope this helps.

    Yup. It's pretty easy to do if you just follow the directions. I have my personal site hosted on there and multiple other sites hosted by a separate host. But the mobileme stuff works like a charm for my personal site.
