| Domain Transfer: General Discussion |
General Information It is possible to attach a custom domain to your uCoz website, e.g. mysite.com, mysite.net etc., for FREE.
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. I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

1. Your website is extremely heavy - not good.
2. Your uCoz sub-domain doesn't redirect - check settings. 3. Your menu still contains uCoz urls - modify. If you merge 1st and 2nd point together - don't be surprised if something [... With uCoz since December 2 2007 ...]

"Ucoz sub-domain doesn't redirect" - what do you mean?
We didn't make no "Domain transfer" or nothing like that yet. We built a page at safetrade.ucoz.com and now we bought a proper adress for it safetrade.pl All we did for now is setup simple redirection that when you type safetrade.pl ---> the ucoz page loads up PS. The page cannot be super-light if we want to have good quality graphical content - but we know it's heavy at the moment. The main page I think is the heaviest and we have to remove some content to make it faster. PS. So is the connecting possible (getting the safetrade.pl true adress)? What will we have to modify after "domain transfer" like this? Everything will suddenly stop working? Post edited by Kimbo - Saturday, 2009-11-21, 9:14 AM

Kimbo, of course it is not late to attach a domain.
Quote (Kimbo) What will we have to modify after "domain transfer" like this? You will probably have to modify links.
Quote Everything will suddenly stop working? The domain safetrade.pl might be unavailable for some time till the changes will take place. The domain safetrade.ucoz.com will work fine all the time. I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

Quote (Kimbo) What connection speed do you have if I may ask? It's better than yours, I'm pretty sure of it. I assume next time you'll ask what colour is my underwear. I don't think a Head Mod would be stupid enough and not to think about connection speed before stating his facts. Think about that. [... With uCoz since December 2 2007 ...]

We try to have a normal conversation to finally find out how to merge these two adresses, not to brag about something like connection speeds or undies colour (?!).
I'm sorry If you didn't understand my point. I didn't ask the question for some mysterious private purposes - I asked it because I wanted to know at what speed it might be loading too long or fail to load at all. There's really no need to get nervous or cocky or anything. To be honest I'm really surpised you felt attacked and offended in any way. Please kindly calm down, we really didn't mean any harm :-) Sunny - I posted this morning couple of questions but they are not here... Are there any more downsides to the Domain Transfer process other then that "safetrade.pl" would be not working (how long would it not function)? What will happen with all the directories, files, pictures etc. Will all directories and links within (and out of) page have to be manually edited to work with the new adress? |
Quote (Kimbo) Are there any more downsides to the Domain Transfer process other then that "safetrade.pl" would be not working (how long would it not function)? No, I don't think so. As for the time - it depends, up to 48 hours (depends on the time it will take to update the name-servers at your domain registrar).
Quote (Kimbo) What will happen with all the directories, files, pictures etc. Will all directories and links within (and out of) page have to be manually edited to work with the new adress? It depends as well. If you used full links like www.safetrade.ucoz.com/image.jpg then you will have to edit them (it can be done quickly by means of Quick Replacement). If you used links like /image.jpg then they will work fine. I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

Thank you for assistance. 48 hours isn't so bad - however 2 days out is long enough to cost us some money.
As for the links/directories within our site we used many different options: full links and the short "/image.jpg" or "/pagenumber" so it's going to be somewhat tricky to get all the puzzles back together. BTW. All the outside links will stop to function right? Ex. if there are banners, photos (and other content) posted on other sites (from our server with a specific directory, like http://safetrade.ucoz.com/directory/image.jpg ) they all would have to be updated to fit the new adress? Thanks again for your patience and help - it's good to see that there is also a good customer service here. |
Kimbo, links like http://safetrade.ucoz.com/directory/image.jpg will wok fine since the domain safetrade.ucoz.com will work. But if you want them to look like http://safetrade.pl/directory/image.jpg then you will have to update them. You can use 'Quick replacement' feature to do this quickly and easily.

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered.
Is it possible to add multiple domains? Im buying a .com domain which comes with a free .co.uk but I want to add them both not just one. |
Ok Thanks anyway. Just some websites have mutliple domains just for one website, unless they are just forwarded.
Sorry if any of the questions below have been asked/answered (i could'nt find any) Using uCoz Is there anything ive done wrong or need to include? 2. Is it possible to have a subdomain just for a page? For example: software.domain.com instead of domain.com/index/0-7 Thanks Kind regards,

Quote (Mistory) How do I do this please? Ive tried different ways. Some screenshots are below. provider's panel and write you a guide. Wont happen. As from uCoz, you don't need to write long lines full of code to create what you need. If you cannot do ANY way (uCoz & by your domain providers) then you should find someone who can. We cannot increase your understanding level. Two ways and you fail both. System isn't the problem it's you.
