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.

HeinLay, the domain www.Grou.ps is in use. If you want to attach any other domain name, you have to purchase it with any registrar. And attach it to your domain dagonuniversity.ucoz.net This link might be helpful in the process of attaching a domain http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/37-435-1

What problem? If I ask to Grou.ps like

"I own a domain (http://www.dagonuniversity.com).I used it with Grou.ps service.Now,we can't get own domain without payment.So I decided to change to uCoz.

When I attach domain to uCoz,their system said "Impossible to park the specified domain, its subdomain is already parked for another account."

They answer "This is not related with GROU.PS. Therefore you should ask for supporting from uCoz"

HELP!

I can see you're talking about the website/service GROU.PS which is supposedly an alternative to Ning.com. I successfully attached my grou.ps account to a subdomain on my uCoz site before. However, I believe recently, they (GROU,PS) changed their policy and now you need to purchase a membership or subscription of some sort from GROU.PS before you can attach it to a domain or a subdomain. Apparently and unfortunately that's all I think I can provide info for.

canhoto, you need to attach domain name www.montrealpdi.com.br to the domain name you have now with uCoz. But domain name www.montrealpdi.com.br is already in use. It can be used only by one website at a time. That is why you can dis-attach domain name www.montrealpdi.com.br from the current website and attach it to uCoz website (of course, if domain www.montrealpdi.com.br is yours)

Natashko, so i need first to dis-attach the current website on www.montrealpdi.com.br, then go for method 3? "Attach existing domain name without transferring the domain to uCoz servers"

Thanks!

When I visited your domain, it says that your account has been suspended. This might explain why the domain attaching is failing. You need to resolve the issue with your domain first.

albhack, I am not sure I understand you. Subdomains can't be created for a page. Only for an account. You can have several accounts with several subdomains attached to them.

What Natashko stated is true, you cannot have a subdomain linked to a uCoz site page but you can easily set up a "flyers" website specially dedicated for your flyers via Google Sites service on your Google Apps Panel. What's more, you'll also be using the ghs.google.com for that subdomain. I did this before when I had an upcoming event. It's really easy and if you have trouble setting it up, feel free to drop me a message here.
