Can I Use My Own Domain on Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:06 am

You can use your own domain on Squarespace! You’ll just need to set up a few things first.

If you already have a domain, you can connect it to your Squarespace site. Just head to your site’s settings and click “Connect Domain.”

From there, you’ll be able to enter your domain name and start the connection process. If you don’t have a domain yet, you can purchase one through Squarespace or through a third-party provider.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using your own domain on Squarespace, be aware that there are some potential risks. First, if you use a third-party DNS provider, your DNS records may not be compatible with Squarespace’s system. This could result in your website being inaccessible. Second, if you use a custom domain on Squarespace, your email addresses will also be hosted by Squarespace. This means that if Squarespace has any downtime, your email will also be unavailable.

Once you have your domain, you’ll need to point it to your Squarespace site. This is called DNS (Domain Name System) records.

You’ll need to add four A records and one CNAME record. Don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it sounds! You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in our Help Center.

Once you’ve added your DNS records, give them some time to propagate (usually around 24 hours). After that, you should be all set! Your domain will now work with your Squarespace site.
