You may heard of blogging platform like wordpress, tumblr or blogspot but I am sure uCoz is not familiar to you. uCoz is a blogging platform which joined the CMS arena recently. Using this CMS I made a site just for testing and to see how it is compared to other CMS. With uCoz CMS you can make websites for news, ad board, blog, photo albums, online games, guestbook, tests, email forms, polls and many more.

Although I have not used or looked deeply into it but I can say it has got the following PROS and CONS:

Pros:

• uCoz by default has 250 templates so you have got plenty of choices to choose a perfect design
• When you made a site using uCoz you will get a free subdomain and ofcourse you have the option to add a domain name to your site
• It has got backup options which I think none other CMS provides
• You don’t have to worry about space because uCoz provides unlimited free space !
• Interface is user friendly
• FTP access is supported and you can upload multimedia files like mp3, videos, documents etc
• You have total control of the website you made with uCoz. You can edit CSS, HTML, content blocks, header images and even template code
• Support forum with active community

There is nothing perfect in this world so it is obvious that some products or services may have CONS in it.

Cons:

• Forced ads in free version. So, if you want your website to be run professionally then you have to use the paid version
• No PHP and hence no MySQL and other scripts
• Not SEO friendly like self hosted wordpress
• Website made with uCoz are hosted on shared hosting so your website may face ban if you have high traffic to your site

Here is a review from a user who has been using uCoz free website maker for over three years:

I use UCOZ services for multiple websites for five years. The system is perfect for small business websites. The community is very responsive and the support is responsible.
