iWeb

Apple iWeb is a template-based WYSIWYG website creation tool. Your iWeb program is designed by default to publish a site to your MobileMe account (formerly your .mac account).

However, you do have the power to publish to another hosting company, like HostGator.

  • When publishing your primary domain with iWeb, you should change the site name to "public_html" and the directory path should be "/".
  • When publishing your existing addon or subdomain with iWeb, you should change the site name to your corresponding subfolder and the directory path should be "/public_html/".

You can learn more here. Read Chapter 2, sections 2.1 and 2.2.

Did you know that the preview link generated by iweb when publishing will not work if you have the site name as public_html?
