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.

adytzu1_vl01, it is not possible to do what you want. A subdomain can be attached to another website by IP only.

ttxnam, you now have ns1.ucoz.com, ns2.ucoz.com, and you must put ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net

HeinLay, so the problem is solved?

What exactly do you want to do? To install the forum module or to attach a custom domain? Method 3 is in Control Panel -> Domain attachment.

(CLICK THE IMAGES TO ENLARGE)

First you need to go to your Google Site's More actions and select Manage site from the drop down.

Next, go to Web Address and type the subdomain you want to use then click Add. (Example: site.silvergroup.biz)

Next, go to http://silvergroup.biz/panel/?a=exeditzone then type your subdomain name on the Subdomain column. On the Type column, set it to CNAME. On the Value column, put in ghs.google.com. Please refer to the image below if you are having troubles.

If you didn't get my small tutorial, please feel free to give me a PM... happy

NOTE:
It might take 30 minutes to 2 hours or even 1 day before your subdomain will be active or usable. It will not take effect immediately.

I can't seem to get what you mean, can you explain further with more details?

VietHomevn, once you have chosen the domain name you cannot change it, you can only create a new account.

seLymmm, did you click Save (on the first screenshot)? How long did you wait? Try to re-attach the subdomain.

Hi there!
I have read all of quotes and answers about "Domain attachment" but i could't to find a way to change "mysite.ucoz.com" to "mysite.ru" yet.

when i try to attach domain by "Metod 2"

"The domain mysite.ru has been parked but not yet attached to the account

The request for domain parking is being processed. Please, wait some minutes and reload this page. Usual processing time is 5 minutes.[3:54]

Parking is the creation of special settings on uCoz DNS-servers, which permit to serve requests in user's domain. Parking is just the first stage of domain"

after 5 minute appears this messages

"The domain mysite.ru has been parked but not yet attached to the account

The domain has incorrect set of DNS servers:

After you have bought a domain or have made any changes to its settings you need to wait 12 hours.

The following list of DNS servers must be applied: ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net"

My question is -is it normal result or not?

what i have to do?- wait till 12 hours or is it not right way?

or may be i have to register as mysite.co.cc?
