How Do I Redirect in Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:47 am

There are two ways to redirect a Squarespace site:

1. Using an External Domain:

If you have an external domain that you want to use with your Squarespace site, you can set up a redirect by pointing your domain’s DNS to Squarespace. This will send all traffic from your domain to your Squarespace site. To learn how to do this, visit our Using an External Domain support guide.

PRO TIP: If you are considering redirecting in Squarespace, be aware that there are some potential risks. First, if you do not properly set up your redirect, you could end up with a broken website. Second, if you redirect to a site that is not compatible with Squarespace, you may experience problems with your website. Finally, if you redirect to a site that is not well-established, you may find it difficult to get traffic to your site.

2. Using a Subdomain:

If you don’t have an external domain, or if you want to use a subdomain (like www.example.com) with your Squarespace site, you can set up a redirect by creating a CNAME record with your DNS provider. For instructions, visit our Using a Subdomain support guide.

Conclusion:
There are two ways to redirect a Squarespace site: using an external domain or using a subdomain. You can set up a redirect by pointing your domain’s DNS to Squarespace or by creating a CNAME record with your DNS provider.
