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.

We're unable to verify shop.lizeal.tk is pointing to store.printfection.com

If you own the domain shop.lizeal.tk, follow the directions below to get it ready for your store. If you don't own this domain, you'll need to register it with a registrar such as GoDaddy.com first, and then come back here and try again.

How to fix it

You need to use the tools provided by your domain registrar to add a CNAME record. The CNAME record should point your sub-domain shop.lizeal.tk to store.printfection.com

Each registrar has its own method of adding CNAME records. See Setting Up Domain Mapping for more information and detailed instructions.

Once you've added the proper CNAME record to your domain, come back here and try again. It may take up to 48 hours for our system to recognize the changes.

Staryte, It's the normal processing time, There is no other fast method. In some cases though, It is done faster than the provided time.

Ed05, so have you resolved the problem with the domain? Currently twistersite.net is working fine.

The Gmail service is $5 per email address per month.
This is unclearly presented by Ucoz. Please change it in places like here: http://faq.ucoz.com/faq/2-1
Perhaps also offer a setup explanation for a free domain email service (zoho or live?) or even better: include a free domain email service from ucoz smile

I switched my site back to uCoz's DNS servers, but now my site keeps becoming unavailable and available randomly throughout the day. (ns1.ucoz.net and ns2.ucoz.net) I am using NameCheap for domain services. When it's down, I also can't log into the CP. Here is my site: http://www.esrohlegends.com/ Any idea why the site keeps crashing? Did I forget to switch anything else aside from DNS servers?

Hello everybody,

I recently bought the domain sprumont.eu and attached it to my sprumont.ucoz.com page.

I am not able to modify sprumont.eu but I can modify and add pages to sprumont.ucoz.com.

I think I did the "domain attachment" properly but I don't know what I am doing wrong...
