As the owner of a Squarespace website, you may occasionally need to transfer your site to another hosting platform. While Squarespace provides reliable hosting for most users, there are some circumstances where you may need to move your site.
For example, if you’re running a Squarespace website for a business and you want to move it to a more robust hosting platform like WordPress, you’ll need to know how to transfer your site.
Fortunately, transferring a Squarespace website to another host is relatively easy. In most cases, you can simply export your Squarespace site as an .html file and then upload it to your new host. Of course, you’ll need to take some time to adjust your DNS settings and make sure everything is pointing to the new host. But once that’s done, your Squarespace website will be up and running on its new home in no time.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to transfer your Squarespace website to another host:
1. Export your Squarespace website as an .html file.
The first step is to export your Squarespace website as an .
You can do this by going to the Settings tab in your Squarespace account and selecting “Export/Backup.” From there, select “Export Site” and choose the “Export as Zip” option.
2. Upload the .html file to your new host.
Once you have the .html file of your Squarespace website, you can upload it to your new host. Most hosts will have an “import” feature that will allow you to upload the .html file directly.
3. Adjust your DNS settings.
The next step is to adjust your DNS settings so that your domain points to the new host. This can be a bit tricky, so we recommend reaching out to your new host’s support team for help with this step.
4. Test everything out.
The final step is to test everything out and make sure everything is working properly on the new host. Once you’ve done that, you can sit back and relax knowing that your Squarespace website is safely transferred and running on its new home.
