I saw that Karen posted an entry about this, but I didn't see an answer. I am moving my webiste from patrickomalley.homestead.com to www.patrickomalley.com patrially because I hate the fact that Homestead forces their name into my URL. Thanks.

I'd like to see that available again. I'd also like to have the element back where we can anchor an image or text from one page to a certain area on another page. Also, an element that we can just click on to protect our pictures or images from being copied by users would be nice. Otherwise, I love your site!

It hurts my eyes, I liked the earth-tones of the last paint job you all had. Sorry on this one Homestead, the new paint scheme looks like a bad Leisure suit from spring of 1973. On a more positve note, I've been a homestead customer for 8yrs, and www.homestead.com has changed my life....no kidding. Good work! The blue, YUCK!

Thai, at Homesteads customer service, was incredibly helpful and informative! Thumbs up to Thai.. He is the first person at Homestead that actually read my issue completely, asked questions, did some checking on the problem and resolved the issue! Homestead, if all your customer service reps were like Thai, you'd have more happy customers :o) An update on my post about my problems with my domains all pointing to my main domain..The problem has been solved.

When I told the system to associate the new domains with themselfs, my main domain dissapeared from the search engines! As an example, my main domain is www.karenskottage.org, I purchased an additional domain www.karenskids.net. When I did exactly what you suggested, told the system to associate karenskottage.org with karenskottage.org and karenskids.net with karenskids.net, karenskottage.org simply dissapeared!! It took me a couple of months to get back to where I was.. I had to associate the new domains with my main domain, other wise, my main domain was not being listed by the search engines....that's not what I want.. I want all my domains to be listed as individual domains..When someone types in www.karenskids.net for a search, I want them to go to that site, not to www.karenskottage.org...but to do that, I have to sacrifice my main domain.. Maybe homestead has fixed this problem??? I wouldn't know because I"ve written them numourous times about it but I never get a response that actually answers my question. I'm afraid to try it again for fear of my main domain dissapearing once again.. Do your additional domains all point to themselfs? And does your main domain still show up on the search engines? I've been told by other website owners that our additional domains should be pointing using a 301 redirect... I've written homestead asking if this is how our additional domains are pointed, but as of yet, no one at homestead will answer that question directly.. This blog is great! I'm getting better info from other website owners then I've ever been able to get from Homestead's customer service... Take note homestead.. your customer service needs some tweeking!! Hi Kevin,

You're doing something wrong when you sign up for your new domain name. I have multiple custom domains for different sites within my Homestead account. When I sign up for the domain name, it asks me which account I want it to be associated with. Apparently you're missing that step. 1. Go to your LOGIN page. At the top of the page where it says "Welcome, Karen!", under that, it says, "Your Site:"... Select the one you want to purchase the domain name for that site... 2. Select "Domains & Email" in the left navigation menu. 3. Select "Manage Domains". 4. If you have already purchased the domain, choose "Transfer an Existing Domain". If you're purchasing a new one, choose "Register a New Domain." 5. Now it says, "Associate the new domain with the site:"... Make sure it's correct. If not, change it to the site you want to associate with the new domain. 6. Enter the desired new domain name and continue from there... I hope this helps.

1. Go to your LOGIN page. At the top of the page where it says “Welcome, Karen!”, under that, it says, “Your Site:”… Select the one you want to purchase the domain name for that site…

2. Select “Domains & Email” in the left navigation menu.

3. Select “Manage Domains”.

4. If you have already purchased the domain, choose “Transfer an Existing Domain”. If you’re purchasing a new one, choose “Register a New Domain.”

5. Now it says, “Associate the new domain with the site:”… Make sure it’s correct. If not, change it to the site you want to associate with the new domain.

6. Enter the desired new domain name and continue from there…

I hope this helps.
