To transfer a third-party domain between Squarespace sites, follow these straightforward steps:

Prerequisites:

• Your domain must be active and registered with a third-party provider
• The destination Squarespace site must be active (not parked or expired)
• You need access to both Squarespace sites and your domain provider account

Step 1: Disconnect Domain from Current Site

1. Log into your current Squarespace site
2. Navigate to the Domains panel
3. Click on your domain
4. Scroll down and select "Disconnect Domain"
5. Confirm the disconnection

Step 2: Connect Domain to New Site

1. Log into your new Squarespace site
2. Open the Domains panel
3. Click "Use a Domain I Own"
4. Enter your domain name and click Continue
5. Choose your domain provider from the dropdown menu

Step 3: Update DNS Records For automatic connection (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Network Solutions):

• Follow the provider's automated process

For manual connection:

1. Access your domain provider's DNS settings
2. Locate the CNAME record pointing to verify.Squarespace.com
3. Copy the unique code from Squarespace's Domain panel
4. Update the CNAME record's Alias field with the new code
5. Save changes

Important Notes:

• DNS changes typically take 24-48 hours to propagate
• Don't modify other DNS records
• Keep your domain active with your provider

Google Workspace Transfer: If you have Google Workspace, contact Squarespace support with:

• Current site URL
• New site URL
• Custom domain name

Troubleshooting:

• Check your provider's specific DNS guide
• Verify all DNS records are correct
• Allow sufficient time for propagation
