Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address if desired. In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address your hosting service can tell you that , and your username and password for that service.
Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path. You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address. To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:. From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
You now need an FTP program FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading to upload the contents of the folder to your server. You will need the server address your hosting service can tell you that , and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.
Some facilities that iWeb provided when hosted on MobileMe will not work on other servers: comments on weblogs and photos, password-protecting your site some hosts may provide this , searching in the weblog, and a hits counter again, some hosts can provide code for this. Slideshows in iWeb will work on other hosts than MobileMe they use different code when FTPing which doesn't depend on scripts hosted on MobileMe as the MobileMe version did ; however there is an issue with the 'buttons' which control the slideshow which are images hosted on me.
Although iWeb continues to work Apple have removed it from sale, which is another point to consider before committing to it. If you have not yet started a website and are tempted to use iWeb, I would advise against it; as it's no longer for sale and won't be updated, there is always the possibility that a future system upgrade may break it. The nearest programs to iWeb in facilities and general ease of use are RapidWeaver , which I think is preferable to iWeb anyway, and EverWeb , which is designed to be similar to iWeb but with more facilities.
You'll need to get a new web hosting service and publish to it. This may be of help to you: Life After MobileMe. Question: Q: How do I publish iweb now that mobile me is replaced by icloud?

When I want to put a website or blog together quickly, I use WordPress. This blogging tool content management system has been around for years, and it is wildly popular.
You log into a dashboard from your favorite web browser, add content, change the look and feel of the site with themes and plugins, and then publish your changes.
There's no need, as in iWeb, to make changes locally and then wait for your modifications to be uploaded to a server. It's a great way to learn how WordPress works, all your content can be migrated to another WordPress host at a later date if necessary, and the fairly new step-by-step tutorials are an incredible way to learn all about this powerful content management system.
If you decide to head out on your own, most major web hosting providers have one-click installers for WordPress. In other words, you sign up for a hosting plan, then say that you want WordPress installed. A few minutes later, you get an email from your WordPress site saying that you need to log in and create an administrative account. Do that, and you're on your way to blogging superstardom. WordPress is remarkably powerful, and a vast developer community is constantly creating new plugins to add functionality to the tool and designing new themes to make pages that are unique and beautiful.
If you can't find a theme to your liking, there's always Artisteer , an app that you can use to easily create your own custom theme. There are several plugins now available for WordPress that integrate with shopping cart services like FoxyCart. Finally, WordPress is an excellent way to get familiar with most content management systems. For anyone who has aspirations to become a professional blogger, starting with WordPress can get you familiar with the tools and workflow that you'll need to move on up the ladder.
Want a very easy to use and free way to host a website? Tumblr 's a good start. You can sign up for free in minutes and be posting immediately after that. As you can see from the Tumblr dashboard screenshot above, once you've logged into your account you have a choice of what you can post. Each one of these buttons leads to a data entry page that you can use to post a specific type of content. Tumblr's bookmarklet and email posting tools are pretty snazzy, and they make it easy to clip and share popular links or videos.
You can call in posts from your cellphone, if you like blogging in audio format. I personally don't like the vibe or feel of Tumblr, which is why I use the next tool for some personal posting. The only thing you need to start a Posterous blog is an email account. Because you can actually do a lot of your posting by just sending emails to a special Posterous address.
You can also use the web-based editor with Safari, Firefox, Chrome, or any other modern web browser to update your information. Posterous is completely free, and there's also a free iPhone app for posting on the run. I've been using Posterous on and off for three years for my personal blog, and I really like it.
There are some great themes -- the current one I'm using uses a grid of fifteen photos to show the last fifteen posts, and it works very well on an iPad. So slick. As far as I'm concerned, Posterous is the best for free hosting of personal websites. It's incredibly flexible, drop-dead simple to use I mean, how hard is it to send an email? However, for small business sites, which are one of the other main uses for iWeb and MobileMe hosting, it's really not appropriate. Businesses looking for a way to make beautiful sites with associated hosting should take a peek at Squarespace.
This is a combination of a typographically-friendly web-based design tool and hosting that produces some great-looking sites. As with WordPress, Squarespace is easily integrated with shopping cart services. And when you see small business sites like this or this , you can see how professional and compelling Squarespace websites can be.
WordPress probably powers more websites and blogs than any other content management system, but Drupal is another hugely popular tool. It's an open source system like WordPress, meaning that the software is written and supported by a community, and the base files are free for the copying. Drupal powers the websites for The Economist , Examiner.
For those who are making the move from iWeb and MobileMe hosting, Drupal Gardens might be a good place to start. It's a hosted system similar to WordPress. It's free for low-bandwidth use, with paid subscriptions for more users, more traffic, and support.
Drupal sites can be extremely idiosyncratic in style, and the content management system has built-in features like forums, polls, galleries, and more.
The free account is a great way to get your feet wet in the ocean of Drupal, and you can then either move to a paid subscription or put a Drupal installation on another host and move your content. I've talked a lot about web-based blogging tools here, but what about easy Mac-based website tools? In many ways, RapidWeaver is similar to iWeb. You create a site using a template, add pages, drop in addons like widgets in iWeb , and then publish your site.
While you're working on your content, you can toggle between an editing mode and a view of the site as it will look when it's published -- that's helpful for making sure that there are no surprises when the publish button is pushed. If you use RapidWeaver, you'll need to have a web hosting provider. The app supports FTP publishing, so just about any web hosting provider will be able to accommodate your site. Realmac has a store for RapidWeaver themes, plug-ins, and another feature called Stacks.
Themes define the look and feel of the site, plug-ins provide extended capabilities like forms or ecommerce, and stacks are another way of including features that are not built into the basic app. For a website creation and publishing experience that is close to that of iWeb, but with a lot more features and flexibility, Sandvox is probably the way to go.
Even the user interface for Sandvox looks a lot like iWeb. As with both iWeb and RapidWeaver, there are a variety of themes included, many of which come in more than one choice of color. Sandvox includes a long list of objects essentially the same as iWeb widgets or RapidWeaver plug-ins.
