So I am finally interested in .Mac. I got a demo account to check out the new features, but the one I'm really interested in isn't available in the demo: domain name support. I have 4 of them. Are multiple domains supported in .Mac? I pay about $20/month hosting and .Mac may be cheaper, but may not have all the features I want. I also use MySQL and PHP stuff. So how much is .Mac like a real web server? I have scoured Apple's web page and can't get the answers I need. Can some .Mac members help me out with these questions?

Edit: I'm used to using cPanel on my sites...

.Mac does not support PHP/MySQL only basic html+java-script.

.Mac is excruciatingly basic as an actual Web host. The only thing special about it is its integration with Apple's products.

I wonder how many others would like a "pro" version of .Mac? Something with the normal web server features plus the Mac integration. That would be nice.

That's a good question. I guess the assumption is that if you really need a "full" Web host, .Mac's shrinkwrapped simplicity won't be as appealing to you.
