How Do I Point My GoDaddy Domain to Squarespace?

Last updated on December 20, 2022 @ 6:16 pm

If you have a domain name from GoDaddy and you want to use it for your Squarespace website, you can point it to Squarespace. To do this, you’ll need to change your domain’s DNS (Domain Name System) settings. DNS is a global network that converts human-readable website names (like www.Squarespace.com) into numeric IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1).

When you change your DNS settings, you’re telling the internet where to find your website. You can think of it like changing the address listed in the phone book for your business. Instead of listing your business’ old address, you’d update the listing with your new address.
