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.

jehobith, Ash7221, I'm the only person working on a Sunday here most times. wink

As to your questions, there were wide-spread technical difficulties due to errors at one of our datacenters yesterday. This may have influenced the parking process for your sites domains. I will check with Technical Support on solutions if you are still seeing this message and get back to you ASAP. smile

The problem with the domain attachment has been fixed. If you still have any difficulties, provide your website addresses and the domains you want to attach.

Hello
*I added domain HAXBALL.LT on my ucoz site HAXBALL.DO.AM
*I want to create a subdomain LHC.HAXBALL.LT and add it on my other site (m-craft.lt/lyga) which is hosted on my virtual server (NOT Ucoz)
*When I go to "Control panel > domain transfer > Edit domain records in SIMPLIFIED MODE" I see the line "Create any subdomains you want under your domain and attach them to other sites at uCoz or any other web hosting service."

- My question is how can add a subdomain on a site which is hosted on other hosting server, not ucoz. What should I enter in the "IP address" line if I just want to add a subdomain on this url "m-craft.lt/lyga"

Thank you.

Weno, in the CP of your uCoz website you need to select "arbitrary IP", and then enter the IP of your virtual server.

CodeResolution, I don't see any redirection, the home page loads fine for me. If you have just attached the domain, the reason of this might be that the info hasn't been updated at your provider's yet.

Thanks Natali,

This must've been the case. It appears to be working on other browsers and computers. I had cleared my cache and it stills doesn't work on Firefox but I assume it'll be a simple mistake.

I'll keep in touch if this or any other error occurs smile

Kind regards,

Hi, I have been trying to create an email address for my existing domain, and followed the steps described, but the Google Apps Standard Edition does not exist any longer. How is it possible now to create myname@myname.com email address for free?

Thanks a lot!

Arthur2186, yes, Google Apps isn't free now. You'll need to look for other similar services that are free.

Sunny, I have bought a domain from Ucoz and while registering I noticed an ad saying "2 free email account". Is this something different from Google Apps? Does this mean that if I buy a domain from Ucoz I can somehow set up 2 free myname@mydomain.com email accounts right on the Ucoz?

Thanks!

Arthur2186, Yes. That means that you can set up two free email accounts but you have to use another mail service to receive and send mails.

Arthur2186, this is a feature provided by our domain services department. I will have to contact them regarding this and get back to you. From what I can assume if you purchase the package/service with the 2 free domains uCoz provides the mail-account hosting and you only need a mail client such as Microsoft Outlook/Windows Mail to access it. I'm not too sure and will have to get back to you about this. wink
