How Much Is a Domain Transfer on Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:55 am

Transferring a domain to Squarespace is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. First, you’ll need to log into your Squarespace account and navigate to the Domains page. From there, you’ll click on the Transfer Domain button and enter the domain you’d like to transfer.

Once you’ve entered the domain, we’ll send an email to the registrant contact listed on the WHOIS record for the domain. This email will contain a link that you’ll need to click in order to confirm the transfer. After you’ve confirmed the transfer, we’ll begin the process of transferring your domain to Squarespace.

Please Note:

Domain transfers can take up to seven days to complete. During this time, your domain will remain active with its current registrar and you won’t be able to make any changes to it. Once the transfer is complete, your domain will be automatically renewed for one year and will begin appearing in your Domains list on Squarespace.

Squarespace doesn’t support transferring domains registered with certain registrars:

We don’t currently support transferring domains registered through GoDaddy, eNom, or Namecheap. If your domain is registered with one of these registrars, you can still connect it to your Squarespace site using our domain mapping feature.

PRO TIP: If you are considering transferring your domain to Squarespace, be aware that there are some potential risks involved. First and foremost, Squarespace is a for-profit company, and as such, they may prioritize their own interests over those of their customers. Additionally, transferring your domain to Squarespace may result in some loss of control over your domain name and website content. Finally, be sure to carefully read all the terms and conditions of any agreement before transferring your domain, as you may be giving up certain rights and privileges.

The process of transferring a domain from one registrar to another can take up to seven days total. During this time frame, the original registrar will keep the domain active and no changes can be made by you as the owner. Once completed, the transferred domain will automatically renew for one year through Squarespace.

It’s important to note that some registrars are not supported by Squarespace for direct transfers. These include GoDaddy, eNom, and Namecheap. If your desired domain is registered through one of these companies, you can still connect it to your site through our Domain Mapping feature.
