Why Is My Domain Not Working on Squarespace?

If you’ve created a Squarespace site and can’t seem to get your domain to work, don’t worry – you’re not alone. It’s a common issue, and there are a few things you can do to fix it.

First, check to make sure that your domain is set up correctly. If you bought your domain through Squarespace, it should be automatically set up for you.

But if you bought your domain elsewhere, you’ll need to add it to your Squarespace account and connect it to your site. To do this, go to the Domains page in your Squarespace account, and follow the instructions there.

If your domain is set up correctly and you’re still having trouble, the next step is to check your DNS settings. DNS (Domain Name System) is what tells browsers where to find your website.

Squarespace uses its own DNS servers, so you’ll need to point your domain to them in order for it to work with Squarespace. To do this, go to the DNS Settings page in your Squarespace account, and add the following records:

• A record with host @ and points to 162.242.211.179
• A record with host www and points to 162.179
• CNAME record with host www and points to username.Squarespace.com

Once you’ve added those records, give it some time – it can take up to 48 hours for DNS changes to propagate across the internet. If after that time your domain still isn’t working on Squarespace, the next step is to contact customer support. They’ll be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and get things working.

Conclusion:

There are a few reasons why your domain might not be working on Squarespace. The first thing you should check is whether or not your domain is set up correctly – if you bought it through Squarespace, it should be automatically set up for you.

If not, you’ll need to add it to your account and connect it to your site.

The next step is to check your DNS settings -Squarespace uses its own DNS servers, so you’ll need to point your domain to them in order for it t o work with Squarespace.
