Yes, you can transfer a domain from one Squarespace site to another. You’ll need to contact Squarespace support to initiate the transfer. Be sure to have both the login information for your current site and the login information for your new site handy when you contact support.
There are a few things to keep in mind when transferring a domain:
- The domain must be registered with Squarespace: If you registered your domain with another provider, you’ll need to transfer it to Squarespace first. For more information, visit our Domains FAQ.
- You can’t transfer a G Suite or Commerce account: If your site uses either of these features, you won’t be able to transfer it to another site. You can, however, cancel your G Suite or Commerce subscription and then sign up for a new subscription with your new site.
Note: If you’re planning to transfer your domain to another provider after transferring it to your new Squarespace site, we recommend leaving your DNS settings unchanged. This will allow you to keep your email address active during the transfer process.
Once you’ve initiated the transfer with support, we’ll take care of the rest! Your domain will point to your new site within about 48 hours, though in some cases it may take up to 72 hours.
