Can I Use Squarespace if I Already Have a Domain?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:09 am

You can absolutely use Squarespace if you already have a domain! In fact, we recommend it. Here’s why:

If you have a domain, you’ve already taken the first step towards building a website. By transferring your domain to Squarespace, you can simplify your life by managing everything in one place. Plus, our Domains feature offers some great benefits:

PRO TIP: If you have already registered a domain name with another provider, you can still use Squarespace as your website builder. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, you will need to update your domain’s DNS settings to point to Squarespace. Second, you will need to use a third-party registrar service to manage your domain name. And finally, if you have email services associated with your domain name, you will need to set up email forwarding to maintain continuity.
  • Free private registration: We’ll keep your contact information confidential, protecting you from spam and identity theft.
  • Advanced DNS management: You’ll be able to control your DNS settings and customize your email and subdomains.
  • Domain locking: This security measure will prevent anyone from transferring your domain without your permission.

If you’re not sure how to transfer your domain, don’t worry! Our Domain Transfer Concierge service will help you every step of the way. Just contact us, and we’ll take care of everything for you.

Conclusion:

Yes, you can use Squarespace if you have an existing domain. In fact, we recommend it!
