How to Move Your Third-Party Domain Between Squarespace Sites
Moving a third-party domain between Squarespace sites is straightforward when you follow these essential steps:
Prerequisites:
- Ensure your domain isn't expired
- Have an active Squarespace website (not a placeholder page)
- Maintain an active subscription with your domain provider
Step 1: Disconnect Your Domain
- Access the Domains menu on your current Squarespace site
- Select the domain you want to move
- Scroll down and click "Disconnect Domain"
- Confirm the disconnection
Step 2: Connect to New Website
- Log in to your new Squarespace site
- Go to Domains menu
- Click "Use External Domain"
- Enter your domain name and click "Next"
- Select "Connect via Provider"
- Choose your domain provider from the dropdown
Step 3: Update DNS Records
For automatic connection (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Network Solutions):
- Follow the automatic connection process when prompted
For manual connection:
- Access your domain provider's DNS settings
- Locate the CNAME record with verify.squarespace.com
- Replace the Alias field with the new code from Squarespace
- Save changes
Connection typically completes within 24 hours, though it may take up to 72 hours in some cases.
Google Workspace Transfer: If you have Google Workspace linked to your domain, contact Squarespace support after moving your domain with:
