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 logged in at my CP(Main Site). Went To Domain Attachment.

But I can't find anything related to 5-6 Steps. That's my problem. I did everything correctly before 5 and 6

If you've already followed the steps to attaching the subdomain, then you should wait for a few hours before seeing it in effect.

Darknes, Will you kindly rephrase your question for us to be able to help you and answer it. Please, specify what exactly are you interested in.
Were you the owner of www.rodub.com? What do you mean when you say ID?

You pay for the domain name for a certain period of time. After its expiration you have two options. First one is to prolong the domain. Second one is not to prolong. In this case the attached domain name will be disattached from your website. It will be available for further registration and parking.

I know that I can park my domain on-to my uCoz website but I want to know how I will be able to use my own DNS server? E.g. I don't want to use ns1.ucoz.net and ns2.ucoz.net?

Kness, I am not sure I understand you, but if you mean that your domain is available under both domain names now (the original and the attached one), you may avoid it. Go to CP->Settings->Common settings->tag "Automatically redirect from the standard domain to the attached one" and Save.
If this is not what you are interested in, be more specific.

shadowslash, i don't think that that is possible, because your website will be unable to attach in uCoz
