Apple iWeb and MobileMe have been discontinued for many years. However, if you still have an existing iWeb website or a copy of its published files, you can move the site to modern web hosting by uploading it via FTP.

This guide explains how to migrate an existing iWeb site to a Linux hosting account using FTP.

Step 1 - Purchase a hosting package

Purchase a Linux hosting package. Static iWeb sites work best on Linux hosting and do not require special server configuration.

Step 2 - Locate your iWeb site files

If you still have access to iWeb on your Mac:

1. Open iWeb.
2. Click the site name in the left sidebar.
3. Select File - Publish to Folder.
4. iWeb will generate a folder containing index.html and supporting files.

If you no longer have iWeb installed but previously published to MobileMe:

1. Locate a backup of your MobileMe or iDisk data if available.
2. Find the index.html file and associated folders for your site.
3. Copy these files to your computer.

Step 3 - Upload the site using FTP

Use an FTP client such as FileZilla, WinSCP, or Cyberduck and connect using the FTP credentials provided in your welcome email.

• Host: yourdomain.com or server hostname
• Username: your FTP or cPanel username
• Password: your FTP password
• Port: 21

1. On the server, open the public_html directory.
2. Upload all files and folders from your iWeb export.
3. Ensure index.html is located directly inside public_html.

Step 4 - Test your website

Open a browser and visit your domain:

https://yourdomain.com

Your legacy iWeb website should now be visible.
