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.

White, where are you trying to attach the subdomain? To the website where you have attached your primary domain? This is not possible. Subdomain should be attached to another website.

I have my domain, www.mysite.info (I attatched/parked it). Now I want the .info to be my primary domain. Is this possible? If so, how can I do it.

Larriken21, CP -> Common Settings -> Redirect from the default domain to the attached one automatically.

Hi Sunny,

I have a site named yyy.ucoz.com on ucoz server and then I registered a domain name(yyy.biz) with Godaddy and started using that domain after attaching to ucoz.

Now i want to add a sub domain.

I have a site zzz.shopmaniz.biz. (which is not in ucoz)
I want to point this sub domain ((shop.yyy.biz)) that i park in Ucoz server to the zzz.shopmania.biz

How do I do this?
Can i just add the sub domain name and point it to the server of zzz.shopmania.biz?

Can you also tell me what is arbitrary IP?

Yes, that is exactly what you need to do - go to Domain Attachment -> Edit domain records in SIMPLIFIED MODE. Specify the subdomain, and the IP of the server of zzz.shopmania.biz (select "arbitrary IP" in the drop-down list - it will mean that the subdomain will be directed to another hosting and not to one of uCoz servers).

We have built a page at www.safetrade.ucoz.com - we have bought a domain "www.safetrade.pl" and we are paying for making it more popular (mailing, banners, links etc.)

At the provider site we set up (in panel) that domain should redirect. so if you type in www.safetrade.pl - the www.safetrade.ucoz.com page loads up

Can we do better than this? Can we make our site real www.safetrade.pl domain or is it too late?

Would we have to rebuild our whole page from the beginning to get www.safetrade.pl as a base domain and get email adress with @safetrade.pl ?
