Hi Time, Peter & others using MobileMe to host their websites, Remember we do have until June 2011 before the MobileMe servers go down. From the email all MobileMe subscribers received: "Your MobileMe subscription will be automatically extended through June 30, 2012, at no additional charge. After that date, MobileMe will no longer be available. When iCloud becomes available this fall, we will provide more details and instructions on how to make the move. In the meantime, we encourage you to learn more about iCloud.” Sure, we need to start thinking about what we will do post-MobileMe, but Apple have been known to ‘change’ what is actually NOT confirmed in writing yet ;-) Ten ways to replace iWeb and MobileMe hosting: <http://i.tuaw.com/2011/06/13/ten-ways-to-replace-iweb-and-mobileme-hosting/> Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]>
