If you’re considering transferring your domain name from Squarespace to GoDaddy, there are a few things you should know. First, it’s important to understand that when you transfer a domain name, you’re actually transferring the registration of that domain name from one registrar to another. In most cases, your website and email will continue to work as usual during and after the transfer process.
That said, there are a few potential downsides to consider before transferring your domain name. First, if you have any custom email addresses associated with your Squarespace account (like [email protected]), those will need to be recreated at your new registrar. Additionally, if you’re using Squarespace’s Domain Privacy service, that will need to be re-enabled after the transfer is complete. Finally, keep in mind that transferring a domain name will extend its registration by an additional year.
Assuming you’re aware of and comfortable with these potential downsides, transferring your Squarespace domain name to GoDaddy is actually a pretty straightforward process. Just follow these steps:
- Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the Domains page.
- Click the .. menu next to the domain you want to transfer and select Transfer Domain.
If you have multiple domains associated with your account, you’ll need to initiate a separate transfer request for each one.
- Enter the Authorization Code. You’ll need to obtain an authorization code from GoDaddy in order to initiate the transfer. To get this code, log in to your GoDaddy account (or create one if you don’t have one already), go to Domain Transfers, and enter your domain name in the search bar. Once you’ve found your domain, click Get Auth Code. Copy the code that appears and paste it into the corresponding field in your Squarespace account.
- Start the Transfer Process. Once you’ve entered the authorization code, review Squarespace’s terms of service and check the box indicating that you agree to them. Then click Start Transfer. That’s it! Yourdomain should now be successfully transferred to GoDaddy.
Can I Transfer My Domain From Squarespace to GoDaddy?
Yes, you can! Just follow these simple steps:
First, it is important to note that when you transfer a domain, the registrar will typically place a lock on the domain for 60 days. This means that during that time, you will not be able to make any changes to the domain, including transferring it to another registrar.
Second, there is always the possibility that the transfer could fail. If this happens, you could lose access to your website and email associated with the domain.
Third, you may incur additional costs when transferring your domain. For example, Squarespace may charge an early termination fee if you cancel your account before your contract is up. Additionally, GoDaddy may charge a transfer fee.
Before proceeding with a transfer, be sure to research all of the potential risks and costs involved.
- Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the Domains page.
- Click the . menu next to the domain you want to transfer and select Transfer Domain.
Yourdomain should now be successfully transferred from Squarespace over to GoDaddy!
