Hey Guys,

I recently bought iWeb and I am not willing to pay for a .mac account, i know that you can upload the site onto a web hosting site without too much difficulty, but thats the extent that i know. Does anybody know a free one that i could upload it too, and could they supply me with step-by-step instructions on how to do it, cuz i have no idea, and im not all that good at stuff like this.

Thanks!

Get a free .mac trial account and then select, "publish to .mac" from iweb once the site is done.

If .mac is not an option for you, you can buy hosting for cheap. Let me know and I can hook you up for probably 5 bucks a month good hosting plan.

I use spymac.com for hosting - It is free, and once you have it up and running, it is pretty easy to use..

When you have set up your account, just go to Finder, press command-K and go to http://YourUsernameHere.spymac.net:81 and upload your website into the folder called 'html'.

Can you do the command-K for any server provided you have the username and p/w? I tried for my site and said it couldn't find it on the network.
