Last updated on December 27, 2022 @ 11:03 pm

As you probably know, WordPress.com and Squarespace are two different website builders. They both have their pros and cons, but they’re definitely not the same. So, if you’re thinking about switching from WordPress.com to Squarespace, you might be wondering if you can transfer your domain from WordPress to Squarespace.

The good news is that you can!

In fact, it’s actually pretty easy to do. All you need to do is follow these simple steps:

  1. First, log in to your WordPress account and go to the “Settings” tab.
  2. Next, click on the “Domains” tab and then select the domain that you want to transfer.
  3. Once you’ve selected your domain, click on the “Export” button.
  4. Now, log in to your Squarespace account and go to the “Settings” tab.
  5. Click on the “Domains” tab and then select the “Import Domain” option.
  6. Finally, enter your domain information and click on the “Import Domain” button.

That’s it! You’ve successfully transferred your domain from WordPress to Squarespace. Pretty easy, right?

PRO TIP: If you are considering transferring your domain from WordPress to Squarespace, be aware that there are some potential risks involved.

First and foremost, it’s important to note that when you transfer a domain, your website will be offline for a period of time. This can be anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the registrar. During this time, your website will not be accessible to visitors.

Secondly, there is also the possibility that your website may not transfer over correctly. This could result in lost data or broken links. If you are not comfortable with the idea of your website being down or possibly broken, then transferring your domain may not be the best option for you.
