Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:55 pm

If you have a domain name that you no longer need and want to transfer it to Squarespace, the process is usually free. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, make sure that the domain name is registered with a registrar that is affiliated with Squarespace. Second, you will need to contact Squarespace to have them approve your transfer.

PRO TIP: Although Squarespace offers a free domain transfer service, there are some important things to be aware of before transferring your domain to Squarespace.

1. Make sure that your domain is unlocked. If your domain is locked, you will need to contact your current registrar to unlock it.

2. Make sure that you have the EPP code for your domain. This is a code that is required in order to transfer a domain and can be obtained from your current registrar.

3. Be aware that transferring a domain to Squarespace will extend the expiration date of your domain by one year.

4. Once you have transferred your domain to Squarespace, you will not be able to transfer it back to your previous registrar for 60 days.

Finally, you will need to pay the registrar a transfer fee and pay Squarespace a hosting fee.

The total cost of transferring a domain to Squarespace can be as low as $10, but it can also be as high as $200. The average cost is around $35.

Overall, the process is usually free to transfer a domain to Squarespace, but there are a few costs involved.
