How Do I Add an SPF Record to Squarespace?

Last updated on December 28, 2022 @ 7:36 pm

Adding an SPF record to your Squarespace site is a pretty simple process. You’ll need to add a TXT record to your DNS settings, and then add the SPF record itself. Here’s how:

    1. Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the Settings page.

    2. On the Settings page, click on the Domains tab.

    3. Find the domain that you want to add the SPF record to and click on the Manage button.

    4. On the domain management page, scroll down to the Advanced DNS Settings section and click on the Add Record button.

    5. In the Record Type dropdown, select TXT.

    6. In the Hostname field, enter “@”.

    7. In the Points To field, enter the SPF record that you want to add. For example, if you’re adding an SPF record for Google Apps, you would enter “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

    8. Leave the TTL field set to its default value and click on the Add Record button. Your SPF record will now be added and you’re all set!

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add an SPF record to your Squarespace account, please be aware that there are certain risks involved.

First and foremost, adding an SPF record to your account may cause your email to be marked as spam by some email providers. This could lead to your emails being blocked or sent to spam folders, which could impact your business communications.

Additionally, if you do not configure your SPF record correctly, it could cause emails from your Squarespace account to be rejected by the receiving server. This could also impact your business communications.

Therefore, we recommend that you consult with an expert before adding an SPF record to your Squarespace account.
