How-To's
You can register a domain name and forward it to your
DotMac (.Mac) account. Apple-Project shows you how.
Sure. You don't have to live with the super-long
http://homepage.mac.com/yourDotMaclogin/. That's unwieldy and hard
to share, but YourNewDomain.com, that's easy to remember easy to
share, and easy to forward to your current (or new) DotMac
account.
When you use a custom domain that is forwarded to your DotMac
account you can put that URL on your business card, calling card,
email and message board signature, whatever. When that URL is
entered in a browser it will take you to the page on your DotMac
account you specify.
So, the first thing you need to do is find a domain if you don't
have one.
GoDaddy
is a sponsor of Apple-Project, so we
recommend using Godaddy to register your new domain. You can use
any registrar you choose, just make sure they offer free domain
name forwarding before you sign up.
As for
GoDaddy, we've been using them for about five
years and don't have any complaints at all. Registering domains is
fast and inexpensive, and Godaddy makes managing your domain fairly
painless. Give them a try, check below to see if the domain you're
looking for is available:
The next step is to swing by our original
How-To Forward Any Domain to your DotMac
Account. It's on our old site, but we plan to revamp the how-to
and post it here, on the new and improved Apple-Project.com site.
In the meantime, register a domain and forward it to your DotMac
account, it's easy breezy.
