Is Domain Included in Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:53 am

Domain names are not included as part of a Squarespace subscription. You can purchase a domain from Squarespace, through a third-party provider, or transfer an existing domain to Squarespace. If you purchase a domain from us, we automatically configure it for you.

We recommend using a Squarespace domain because it offers certain advantages, like free email forwarding and use of our Domain Lock security feature. Additionally, all Squarespace domains come with SSL certificates at no extra cost.

PRO TIP: When creating a new website on Squarespace, be sure to check if your desired domain name is available. Once you select a template and begin building your site, you will be prompted to choose your domain name. If your desired domain name is not available, you may need to select a different template or look for an available domain name elsewhere.

If you use a third-party domain, you can still take advantage of our Free SSL certificate if you point your DNS to Squarespace. You’ll also need to set up email forwarding for your custom domain.
