Question Need urgent help with setting up a website
Hi

I am a 16 year old male, and for school, I need to set up a website for my Young Enterprise company, but I have run into some major problems... and it needs to be live by tomorrow!

I use a macbook and mac OsX. I created my website in iWeb, a WYSIWYG which is linked to my mobileme account. I then bought the domain name (www.mundo-uk.com) from networksolutions.com. This seems to be a problem as that website is ridiculously overcomplicated, and seems to be trying to sell me stuff instead of helping me at every possible chance.

My problem is getting the website i created in iWeb to be on the domain name i paid for. I have not paid netwoksolutions for hosting, as mobileme seems to offer to do this for free. I followed a lot of instructions, and after a while managed to change the host alias (CNAME) to web.me.com on www, as i was instructed. I then configured my website from iWeb to 'set up a personal domain' and entered in my website details. From what i can work out, the website should be on the domain name, but there was no confirmation or anything indicating it is uploading it. When i got to my domain name, it is still the under construction page but it said it could take up to 48 hours.

Have I done something wrong?
Do I just need to wait?

Please please help me, I don't know what to do

Fred

In your domain control panel there should be
a section to enter the webhosts name server information.
It would be in the form of NS1.hostdomain.com
NS2.hostdomain.com.
You need to get that info from the webhost and enter it in the domain
control panel.
Probably need to select not hosted here at the domain control panel
too.

You may need to enter the domain name in the webhost control
panel.

If you are uploading the site from your computer,you will probably
want to use an ftp client and login to the site through ftp to
directly upload the files to the server.
Most web hosts have a help section to explain how to do that.
