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.

Yes it will be , After attaching a domain name to your uCoz website you will get settings where you can make your uCoz domain name redirect to your .Com domain.

Tralalila, the timer is a simple script based counter which refreshes back to 5:00min every time it reaches zero. It can take up to 12 hours in some cases for domains to park & attatch. My best advice is to be patient and to not cancel the domain parking within the next 12 hours.

Hope this helps, happy

If I transfer a domain like a .tk will I be able to change that to a .com later?

I would prefer if you called me ErraticFox. ^_^

Poptart, yes, it is possible to attatch and unattatch as many/few domains as you need. But only one can be attatched at a time.

If you still have problems with domain attachment, make sure to provide the website name as well as the name of the attached domain for us to be able to check.

You need to remember that only 1 domain name can be attached to one website at one time. if you want to change the name of the attached domain - you need to disattach one and attach another.

Anshu, it can take up to 12 hours for a domain to successfully park and go through. I would advise waiting for a while and if it has not completed parking within the next 24hrs to try parking it a second time.

Hope this helps, happy

I have already waited for more than 24 hours and have tried it several times. The domain parking is not happening, when the 5 minute countdown ends it again starts the 5 minute count down.

Please provide the original website name within uCoz web-services as well as the name of the domain you want to attach for us to be able to check.
