MobileMe to Support Personal Domains
While watching the “QuickTour” of Me.com I noticed something on the Account page that piqued my curiosity: A setting for “Personal Domain”.
I hadn’t seen this documented elsewhere, so I did a little digging. As far as I can tell, it’s just a transferred feature from .Mac; which I didn’t know existed. According to this transition FAQ, personal domains already in use with .Mac will carry over and also work with MobileMe:
[…] If you have a personal domain setup for your iWeb site, it will continue to work without changing any settings at your registrar.
Neat.
Yeah this has been part of .Mac ever since the last feature update where they added storage, etc…
The domain part is nice, but their web server still doesn’t support any scripting language and you can’t use the personal domain as your email address … its basically just a web forward. So for geeks like us its not too comprehensive … but its a great choice for mom/pop type people who’d like a rememberable domain for their iWeb site.

Yeah… I Actually tried this with .mac a few moths ago — still haven’t got it to work.
But I’m just a lowly video editor ;)
