Hi Robert I've switched a few people over from mobile me hosting to my hosting service business (http://www.hostingservicewa.com.au). It has a lot of the MobileMe features and a lot more. All can be run out of Cpanel (easy to work with) and has file manager and a lot more. Plus a lot more email and features as well if required. You can directly upload from iWeb. The reason to either use the File Manager or an FTP upload program is that MobileMe has a way to sort of "wreck" the domain name. For example if you have your own domain name and then upload from iWeb you'l get an address that looks like http://www.mydomainname.com.au/mydomainname/home.html so it doubles it up. Whereas by saving to a folder then directly uploading you get a much nicer looking web address http://www.mydomain.com.au
I also use Transmit, and although not free it's quite cheap for it's feature set, and it's very easy to use. You can "favourite" your site on the left hand side (in a Finder looking window) and your Domain in the right hand side. It then has a "Sync" feature that you just click on, and any changes made in your site locally get uploaded to your site online. Very easy. I've set a few of these up for other clients and shown them how to use it all, while I was out doing other "consulting" work. My hosting set is actually written in iWeb and uploaded from the folder. Very easy to look after. Hope that information helps :o) Kind regards Daniel Sent from my iPhone 4s --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel AT macwizardry.com.au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh** On 10/05/2012, at 8:25 AM, Robert Miller-Eves wrote: > > Are there any Wammuggers out there who have a mobileme website and have been > able to successfully transfer its content to a new website?
