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.

If you want to make email adress with your domain (like "admin@yoursite.com") you don`t need to create subdomain than go to option "Google Mail (GMail)".You have setup instruction,too.

That was before so,now it is different.

You need to only click save and wait some time and and your subdomain will work.

Code
Specified domain is already parked to another account.

The domain is parked on a friends account and he don't wanna let me to park my domain on my account.
How I can park the domain on my account now if he doesn't want to un-park my domain ?

The domain is filmesuper.info / friends site is: filmeonline.ucoz.com

twist0939, you won't be able to park the domain until your friend unparks it from his account.

Sunny, I am doing everything correctly but from here:
Quote
Click ‘Save’. Wait till you see the message "There is no site configured on this address" by the address start.domain.com and then continue.

5. Login to the Control Panel of the site start.ucoz.com where you want to attach your new subdomain start.domain.com. Go to ‘Domain Attachment’ and choose Method 3.

6. Read the information and enter your new subdomain start.domain.com in the field, click Attach

That’s all. Wait for some time and your site start.ucoz.com will be accessible by the name start.domain.com.

.
I mean that, when I save it, it shows "There is no site configured on this address" but then when I enter in Domain Attachment I cant see content like this:
http://forum.ucoz.com/subdomains/subdomains5.png
It automaticaly shows something else.
