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.

I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

Hello. I have this site: http://sebantour.do.am . What do I have to do in order to be able to access it as http://sebantour.ro and how do I make it to be found by customers on search engines? (of course, it's not even close from finished, but I want to know if I should continue with uCoz or buy directly the domain and do my thing on their server...) Thank you! smile

You need to buy the domain name sebantour.ro and attach it to the website http://sebantour.do.am, as written in the first post.

After the 30 days quarantine is over, your website will be indexed by search robots and found by search engines. It has been discussed here http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/23-4687-1#20039

As far as I know, yes. So long as you can edit the DNS of your website. As for your example, you stated mysite.com/ucoz which is not a subdomain but a directory.

SirDarknight, if you read the second post of this thread carefully it is said there: Wait till you see the message "There is no site configured on this address" by the address start.domain.com and then continue.
This is what I see when I go to http://blog.hugesoft.tk/
It means that now you can continue. Follow the steps 5-6 of the second post in this thread about Subdomains.

Yes I Read The Whole Post Carefully. I saw the message. But I didn't see anything related to 5/6. Sunny Said That I need to access blog.hugesoft.tk's CP. Using blog.hugesoft.tk/admin

But I see the message again when I try to access admin panel. Any another idea to access blog's admin?

SirDarknight, please read this post very careful once again http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/37-435-6436-16-1218803195 Especially the part where it is written Subdomain in big blue letters. Everything is explained in paragraphs 5-6 of the post with screenshots even.
