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.

shadowslash, provide the website URL and try to do the following: try to enter @ into Host Name, then create one more A-record and enter www into Host Name.

ajzone, at the moment your domain does not work at all. And no wonder since you have incorrect set of DNS servers. Did you change the DNS into ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net in your domain control panel?

ajzone, you need to add one more A-record in the domain control panel - for www (see what I wrote in my previous post to shadowslash)

I didn't have the chance to try this out but luckily I managed to come up with a work-around that I myself didn't quite get how I did it. Nonetheless, everything's working fine right now, thanks for the support and I might be able to use it at the near future!

e-mail accounts are created only by means of GMail service? Or can I use the e-mail from live (domains.live.com).

That's what I've been asking too... But based on my own experience, I managed to configure Windows Live's Admin Center (domains.live.com) to work with uCoz... It's a really cool service..

If live.com offers the necessary features than sure you can use it.

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).

can you tell me how to do that? or can you give links to help me?

NTP, is your second website located on s104?

petrelutza, just go to the website where you bought or registered for free your domain name, log in, find the DNS section and change the name servers into ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net. Save and wait till the changes apply.
