Hi Again

I am in need of some help for creating my website.

I purchased a domain name from godaddy.com. Then I set up a MobileMe account to host using iWeb.

But I am having trouble forwarding my domain name to my MobileMe account.

Also from my MobileMe account the test connection failed when I try to publish it to my domain name.

Any tips to help? Thanks.
 
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1107 is the article on personal domain forwarding. The first step is to publish to MobileMe. However it sounds like you are publishing to FTP for some reason instead. Change your publishing options in iWeb to publish to MobileMe then publish. After, login to me.com and go to account settings. Then input the registered .com address in the personal domain section, and through GoDaddy's interface put in the CNAME of web.me.com. Should be done in 24-48 hrs if not less.
