How Do I Change My Domain on Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:41 am

If you’re using Squarespace, you may want to change your domain name at some point. Here’s how to do it:

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

2. Under Site Management, click Domains. If you haven’t registered a domain yet, you’ll need to do that first.

3. Click the domain you want to use, then click Change Domain. If you’re changing to a new domain, you’ll need to register it first.

4.

Enter the new domain name and click Check Availability. If the domain is available, click Confirm. If it’s not available, try a different name.

5. Once you’ve confirmed your new domain, Squarespace will automatically set up DNS records for you. This can take up to 48 hours, but it’s usually much faster.

And that’s it! Your Squarespace site will now be accessible at the new domain name.

Conclusion:

Changing your domain name on Squarespace is a fairly simple process. Just log in to your account, go to the Settings tab, and under Site Management, click Domains. From there, you can change your domain name and Squarespace will automatically set up DNS records for you.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to change your domain on Squarespace, be aware that there are some potential risks involved. First, your site may experience some downtime while the DNS changes propagate. Second, if you have any email accounts associated with your old domain, those will no longer work once the domain is changed. Finally, any links or bookmarks that people have to your old domain will no longer work, so you may lose some traffic.
