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.

Poptart, this has occurred to me before. All I did was wait and eventually it stopped redirecting. I would also advise to check in the CP what link is being used as the $HOME_PAGE_LINK$.

Good luck, wink

chr0me, to correctly attatch a domain you need to first have the correct name server; ns1.ucoz.net and ns2.ucoz.net. After you have done that park the domain on the uCoz servers and once that has been completed select the attatch button. _{(for method 3, other methods will have different steps)}

Once the domain has attathed open Control Panel > Common Settings then select the necessary boxes so that the old domain redirects automatically to the new one and that the new one is the primary domain.

Hope this helps, happy

chr0me, I'm not sure about that. I have never got the hang of subdomains but I am assuming if it is added to GoDaddy correctly it shouldn't need to be added to uCoz as long as the IP address of the server has been inputted correctly.

Hope this helps, happy

Mark-ucoz-co-uk, if you are meaning to use attatchment method 3 and park your domain on the uCoz servers you need to use the domain servers; ns1.ucoz.net & ns2.ucoz.net
