Can you have your domain with .Mac?

I'm thinking about moving my website to my .Mac account. Does anyone know whether or not I can use my current domain address?

I don't know for sure, but from what I've seen, I don't belive that you can do it directly.
Most registrars will setup a forwarding service, or give you a single static page, both of which you can use with .Mac.
You won't be able to have full functionality with the files on your custom domain name, from what I understand.

Thanks for the response. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good hosting service? I only need around 100 MB of space, but it needs to offer basic web tools/services (i.e. php, etc.)

.Mac isn't really designed for hosting websites (other than a photo gallery or a few static pages without a domain). You need to get a proper shared hosting account if you want to run a website. TJR Networks and Myacen are both good.

I serve my website through dot-Mac...
Just drop your HTML into the "Sites" folder on your iDisk, and have your domian forwarded to that folder.
Easy as falling off a log!
