Hey,

I need some help about domain names and what is displayed when you click on a particular site. I have included a diagram (made in word :eek:) which hopefully shows what I'm trying to explain.
I have iWeb 1.1.2, and i'm about to buy the two domain names that I want, but need help and advice.

For my Portfolio, someone said use CNAME... this means that when www.domainname.com is entered, and you visit "Contact" page it will display www.daminname.com/contact THAT'S FINE!

My problem is when it comes to my other site. It has a "MAIN HUB", where then it has links to all the different writing projects, which will have their own individual site. To access these site you need to click the link in the Main Hub....

Now as I'm using CNAME for one, i read somewhere that it can't be done again, so make it forward to that address and make it mask the .Mac Address... THAT SEEMS FINE.

But what is displayed when, for example: 'Subsite 1 PX' is click? or 'Subsite 4 AE'?
Will it still display... www.domainname.com - like the main hub, or will this change to http://web.mac.com/.........

Thanks for any advice
