General Information

It is possible to attach a custom domain to your uCoz website, e.g. mysite.com, mysite.net etc., for FREE.

uCoz gives the possibility of full domain management (creation of subdomains, e-mail accounts etc. if a domain is attached by Method 2);
you will be able to create domain-based e-mails (e.g. admin@mysite.com );
you can buy a custom domain at uCoz Domains or any other domain registrar;
you'll be able to register your website in directories which prohibit registration of free websites;
you'll be able to enter banner exchange networks (or advertising companies) where only paid domains are allowed;
with a custom domain users will never lose your website, even if you change the hosting service, the website URL will remain the same;
with a custom domain search engines will give you a higher place in search results.

Domain Attachment FAQ

Question: How can I create a subdomain?

Answer: Please see the following guide: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/54-435-6436-16-1218803195

Question: Can I attach two domains to my website?

Answer: No, it is not possible.

Question: Can I change the ucoz domain, e.g.: mysite.ucoz.co.uk to mysiteEtc.ucoz.co.uk. Is this allowed and how?

Answer: No, once you have chosen a domain name you cannot change it, you can only create a new website.

Question: How do i setup my uCoz web page in my own domain? I did try but failed. I can see this error message:

The domain djcaner.biz has been parked but not yet attached to the account.
Domain has incorrect set of name servers: ns1.hostavrupa.net, ns2.hostavrupa.net
The following list of the name servers must be applied: ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net

Answer: The system gives you the answer: You must change the name servers in the domain control panel (your account on the website where you registered the domain).

1. How to Attach a Domain by Method 2: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/54-18149-1
2. How to Attach a Domain by Method 3: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/54-18150-1

What's the difference between Method 2 and Method 3?

When you use Method 2, your new domain is hosted at uCoz servers. If you use Method 3 - you just change the domain name (to be more precise you just get one more name for your site because it will be accessible by both names - the new one and the old one) but your domain remains hosted at another registrar's servers. So the difference is in the place where your new domain is hosted - either at uCoz or not.

SUBDOMAINS

Here I’ll try to explain you how to create subdomains.

-----------------------------------------------

So, you have attached a domain to your uCoz site, e.g. domain.co.cc instead of your previous domain domain.ucoz.com (by method 2).
However, you have another uCoz site (e.g., start.ucoz.com) and you want it to be accessible by the name start.domain.co.cc

By means of uCoz you can create subdomains easily, just follow the steps, described below.

1. Log into Control Panel (domain.co.cc/admin) -> Domain Attachment

2. Choose SIMPLIFIED MODE

3. You need "SETUP OF SUBDOMAINS"

4. Here you can see several fields:

Subdomain. Here you should enter the name of your subdomain (let it be start in our example).

IP address. For start.domain.co.cc to link to your website start.ucoz.com, you must enter the IP address of the server where start.ucoz.com is located (just select the number of the server, let it be s101. You can see the number in Control Panel -> Admin Bar -> General -> Server name). After you have selected the server, the IP address will appear automatically in the adjacent field (this is 208.100.61.101 for s101).

Click 'Save'. Wait till you see the message "There is no site configured on this address" by the address start.domain.co.cc and then continue.

5. Login to the Control Panel of the site start.ucoz.com where you want to attach your new subdomain start.domain.co.cc. Go to 'Domain Attachment' and choose Method 3.

6. Read the information and enter your new subdomain start.domain.co.cc into the field, click Attach

That's all. Wait for some time and your site start.ucoz.com will be accessible by the name start.domain.co.cc.

Hello,i live in iraq

I want to buy a domain On this system UCOZ

i want to know how to buy it,and i need all the information about it

I have to buy it but i don't know how to pay money for that,so i want to find a way to pay

Answer: You can't buy domains from uCoz. All uCoz domains are free. If you want to attach your own domain to uCoz then you should buy it from any other company and then just follow the instructions in Control Panel - Domain attachment. [Sunny]

The domain starchat-fans.com has been parked but not yet attached to the account
Domain has incorrect set of name servers: ns1.lathost.com, ns2.lathost.com, ns3.lathost.com, ns4.lathost.com
The following list of the name servers must be applied: ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net

What does this mean? What I need to do?

Answer: It means that you must change the set of name servers to ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net at the control panel of the domain registrar (where you have bought your domain).

I have a problem too. I have attached the domaina and changed the DNS. Now I have waited 24h and my browser said Address Not Found. Do I need to wait more or what can I do?
P.S. domainas name is zasluzi.net

Answer: zasluzi.net works fine for me. It will be your browsers or networks problem. [Armaros]

But without attached in the ucoz,using the 3 domain names"www,bbs,mail"can all lead to the same web page
"По данному адресу сайт не сконфигурирован
There is no site configured on this address"

If the A-record failed,it can not be like this,isn't it?
So I think the 3 names have all been A-record OK!

flashout, www.dlcosco.com is resolved correctly, but dlcosco.com is not. When somebody tries to attach domain name with "www" prefix, to prevent common mistakes, our system removes it and checks that resulted domain name leads to correct IP. Then we allow both names (with WWW and without it) to be used as site address. If you need only WWWed name to work (or unable to set IP for basic domain) you can specify WWW-prefix twice, like www.www.dlcosco.com, and have www.dlcosco.com as attached domain name.
