Follow-up measures, transferring your domain name to link to your site
In the control panel must show that it refers to the IP address "193.109.246.77"
Wait until the changes take effect (usually 6 hours).
During the 6 hours ending process attachment

3mr, do you want to change your uCoz domain into another one? It is not possible, you can only register a new website.

hello Sunny, thanks for your answer

Is it possible to transfer the contents of the site to a new domain so that it remains the the old site

I do not mean to add the same content to another site and have a new site

it is not possible also , isn't it ?

3mr, you can transfer the content by means of a backup (to create a backup, go to Control Panel -> Tools -> Project backup). I you have restored the backup on your new website, you will have to delete the first website, because website cloning is not allowed in uCoz.

Hello, Sunny!

Just need your advise please, I have a custom domain and after registering with uCoz with free uCoz sub domain, I transferred my domain and edited the servers in my Registrar account, I selected option 2, the issue is that it's been more than 4 hours, but still not able to access my website , it gives below one error.

There is no site configured on this address

If you are the owner of the website and continue to see this error after the domain attachment, then the attachment procedure has not been finished. Finish the procedure in the "Domain attachment" section of the Control Panel.

If the domain has just been attached to the site you must wait 15 minutes.

Please advise, can you check my account to make sure that I did everything correct.

Thanks in Advance.

But if i make a backup of my site will it be the same site after deleting the old one ?

And if it will be a new site will it match the old site completely in design without installing the template again and will it contain the same threads?

Will I wait the 40 days before archiving ?

any way , it will be anew site, so it is not necessary to do that

Best regards

3mr, it will be a new website but with the same data. Please note that some of the data are not included into backup (like private messages, please see more info at http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/31-3046-1 ). The website backup does not include the template backup. A template backup must be created separately in Control Panel -> Design customization -> Template backup.
