Can You Use Your Own Hosting for Squarespace?

Last updated on December 28, 2022 @ 6:06 pm

If you have a Squarespace account, you can use your own domain name with it, or you can use one of our domains. You can also use a third-party domain name with your Squarespace account, as long as it’s registered with a domain name provider that offers integration with Squarespace. If you use a third-party domain name, you’ll need to set up domain forwarding to point the domain to your Squarespace site.

If you want to use your own hosting for Squarespace, we don’t support that directly. However, you can use an iframe to embed your Squarespace site on another site that’s hosted elsewhere. To learn more, visit our Help Center.

PRO TIP: While you can use your own hosting for Squarespace, it is not recommended. Doing so can result in decreased performance, as well as increased downtime. Additionally, using your own hosting can also make it more difficult to take advantage of Squarespace’s built-in features and tools.
