Can You Bring Your Own Domain to Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:07 am

If you have a domain name already, you can use it with your Squarespace website. We support transferring domains from other registrars, and connecting domains registered through Squarespace.

You can also register a new domain through Squarespace. If you choose to register a domain through us, we’ll automatically configure it for you.

Here are answers to some common questions about using domains with Squarespace:

Can I use a subdomain with my Squarespace site?

Yes. If you have a registered domain name, you can use a subdomain (like blog.example.com) with your site.

To learn how to set this up, visit Using a Subdomain with Your Site. You can also register a new domain with us and specify the subdomain you want to use.

Can I use an existing domain name with my Squarespace site?

Yes. If you have an existing domain name, you can transfer it to Squarespace or connect it to your site. To learn how, visit Transferring an Existing Domain to Squarespace. You can also register your domain through a third-party registrar and connect it to your site.

How do I purchase a new domain?

You can search for and purchase available domains directly from Squarespace.

To learn how, visit Purchasing a Domain from Squarespace. We also offer professional email powered by Google Apps for Work with select domains.

How do I set up email for my domain?

Connecting Email Accounts. You can also create professional email addresses powered by Google Apps for Work with select domains.

You can bring your own domain to Squarespace by either transferring an existing domain or registering a new one directly through the platform. Once your domain is registered or transferred, you will be able to specify the subdomain you want to use and configure email accounts powered by Google Apps for Work.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using Squarespace to host your website, you should be aware that you cannot bring your own domain name to the platform. You must use a domain name provided by Squarespace, which can be a major disadvantage if you already have an established website with its own domain name.
