Domain with .Mac

From DreamHost

Please keep in mind that you must have an active web hosting plan in order to use the DNS hosting service provided by DreamHost. DreamHost does not provide a free DNS hosting service without an active hosting plan. If you need a free DNS hosting service, please try out Free DNS.

If you have registered or host a domain with DreamHost and would like to host it with your current .Mac/iWeb 08 account, you can do so using the following steps:

Changes in your .Mac/iWeb Account

Make sure that your .Mac/iWeb account is setup to use your personal domain. To do this, go to your account page and then click ‘Use personal domain’. Enter your domain name into the form and you're all set.

Changes in your DreamHost Account

To make the necessary DNS changes to host your domain with .Mac/iWeb 08, you'll need to first remove the web hosting service from your domain. This can be done by clicking the 'delete' button that appears next to your domain under the 'Web Hosting' column in the Manage Domains section of the control panel.

After you've removed the web hosting service, just visit that same page again and click the 'DNS' link that appears under your domain. On that custom DNS page, enter in www in the Name: field. Change the Type to CNAME and enter in web.mac.com into the Value: field. Click the Add Record Now! button to add the custom record. You'll be good to go after DNS propagation.
