Is Squarespace Self Hosted?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 12:59 am

Squarespace is not self-hosted. You don’t need to worry about hosting fees, server configurations, or any of the other things that come with running a website.

We take care of all of that for you. All you need to do is sign up for an account and start building your site.

If you’re looking for a self-hosted solution, we recommend WordPress.org. You’ll need to find a web hosting provider and install WordPress on your server, but once you do, you’ll have full control over your website.

In general, we recommend Squarespace for people who want an easy-to-use website builder with all the features built in, and WordPress for people who want a more flexible platform that they can customize to their own needs.

Conclusion: Squarespace is not self-hosted, so you don’t need to worry about hosting fees or server configurations. We recommend it for people who want an easy-to-use website builder with all the features built in.

PRO TIP: There is no such thing as “self-hosting” with Squarespace. Your site is hosted on our servers, and we handle all of the updates, security, and maintenance. This means that you can focus on creating content and leave the technical stuff to us.
