Sure. You don't have to live with the super-long http://homepage.mac.com/yourDotMaclogin/. That's unwieldy and hard to share, but YourNewDomain.com, that's easy to remember easy to share, and easy to forward to your current (or new) DotMac account.

When you use a custom domain that is forwarded to your DotMac account you can put that URL on your business card, calling card, email and message board signature, whatever. When that URL is entered in a browser it will take you to the page on your DotMac account you specify.

So, the first thing you need to do is find a domain if you don't have one. GoDaddy is a sponsor of Apple-Project, so we recommend using Godaddy to register your new domain. You can use any registrar you choose, just make sure they offer free domain name forwarding before you sign up.

As for GoDaddy, we've been using them for about five years and don't have any complaints at all. Registering domains is fast and inexpensive, and Godaddy makes managing your domain fairly painless. Give them a try, check below to see if the domain you're looking for is available:


The next step is to swing by our original How-To Forward Any Domain to your DotMac Account. It's on our old site, but we plan to revamp the how-to and post it here, on the new and improved Apple-Project.com site. In the meantime, register a domain and forward it to your DotMac account, it's easy breezy.
