I promise i made an effor to search for the answer....but alas:

I own a particualr domain name. I also have a .mac account.
Is there any way to serve my web page (not hompage.mac.com) on my idisk?
That is to say, when someone types in my url, it'll be hosted on my idisk, therefore allowing me to not have to pay someone else to be my server..

merci.

Yes.

you'll probably need to enable the dav module for apache (see httpd.conf in /etc/httpd)

Quick Google search :

actually, after reading your post again I'm not sure what you want to do...
If you just want to do a web server, enable web sharing in system prefs... that's all

alright champ, here's where it gets interesting for the both of us - you expand on your answer and provide a light tutorial, and I read with interest and appreciation.

thanks.

Oh yeah I forgot. I had the same set up and I just used URL forwarding with masking. I was using GoDaddy and basically I had my domain www.deathbysnoosnoo.com point to my http://homepage.mac.com/milenko/main.html. I then had masking on so you could not see the apple part and would only see the first link. I have since stopped using that but it worked very well and was cheap to do it.

i know of and use the webserver stuff built into os x, but i have a laptop and it's not the best solution for hosting a webpage.

So what do you want to do? just redirect the request to your .mac homepage?

See the Apache's redirect directive:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_alias.html

it needs to be configured on the server which will handle requests for your domain
