Can I Use a Wix Domain on Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:25 am

If you’re considering using Wix to build your website, you may be wondering if you can use a Wix domain on Squarespace. The short answer is no, you can’t.

Wix domains are not compatible with Squarespace. However, there are a few workarounds that you can use to get your Wix site onto Squarespace.

The first workaround is to use a third-party DNS service like Amazon Route 53 or Cloudflare. You can point your Wix domain to the DNS servers provided by these services, and then configure your Squarespace site to use that domain.

This method is a bit more technical, but it’s not too difficult to set up.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using a Wix domain on Squarespace, we recommend you proceed with caution. While it is technically possible to use a Wix domain on Squarespace, there are a number of potential risks and issues that you may encounter.

Firstly, Wix domains are not automatically configured to work with Squarespace. This means that you will need to manually set up your Wix domain in order to use it on Squarespace. This can be a complex and time-consuming process, and if you do not configure it correctly, your website may not work properly.

Secondly, even if you are able to successfully use your Wix domain on Squarespace, there is a risk that Wix may cancel your domain name due to terms of service violations. If this happens, you could lose your website entirely.

Finally, we do not recommend using a Wix domain on Squarespace for long-term projects. If you want to use a custom domain on Squarespace, we recommend purchasing a domain directly from Squarespace or another registrar.

Another workaround is to use a service like wwwizer.com or xip.io. These services will give you a URL that you can use to access your Squarespace site, even if you’re using a Wix domain.

This method is less technical than the first one, but it’s not as elegant either.

If you’re serious about using Squarespace, then you’ll need to use one of these workarounds. Unfortunately, there’s no way to use a Wix domain directly on Squarespace.

But with a little bit of effort, you can get your Squarespace site up and running with a Wix domain.

In conclusion, no – you cannot use a Wix domain on Squarespace. However, there are some workarounds that allow you to get your Squarespace site onto a Wix domain. These methods are a bit more technical or less elegant than using a traditional domain, but they will get the job done if you’re set on using Squarespace with a Wix domain.
