If you want to use a custom domain with your Squarespace site, you can! You can either purchase a domain through Squarespace or transfer an existing domain to Squarespace. If you purchase a domain through Squarespace, we’ll automatically configure it for you. If you transfer an existing domain to Squarespace, you’ll need to update your DNS settings.
First, you will need to purchase a domain from a registrar such as GoDaddy or Namecheap. Once you have done so, you will need to set up DNS records with your registrar in order to point the domain to your Squarespace site. This can be a bit technical, so if you’re not comfortable with doing this, you may want to hire someone to help you.
Secondly, keep in mind that once you add a custom domain to Squarespace, you will no longer be able to use the free Squarespace subdomain (yoursite.squarespace.com). This means that if you ever want to switch back to using the free subdomain, you will need to delete your custom domain and start from scratch.
Finally, be aware that there are some premium features on Squarespace that can only be unlocked if you have a custom domain (such as Email Campaigns and Domain Privacy). If you’re not planning on using these features, then there’s no need to add
