# Personal MobileMe Domains

Important notes before you begin:

1. You will need to have obtained a domain name from a registrar before beginning. When selecting a registrar, it is essential to check with the company to ensure that they provide the capability to point to a CNAME record, since Apple will require you to do this in order to set up the personal domain in MobileMe.
2. The verification stage (Step 5 of the connection test) will fail if you have not yet set up your personal domain to point to your website, or if the changes have not yet taken effect. Your website can still be viewed at http://web.me.com/username/, however.

Apple's MobileMe service has a feature known as "MobileMe Personal Domain." This allows you to setup your own website domain (such as `example.com`) and host it using your MobileMe account.

Apple provides instructions for setting up MobileMe to use a personal domain name.

After your domain is set up to point to your MobileMe account (this can take up to 48 hours) you will be able to publish and view your website at your personal domain name.
