To transfer a third-party domain between Squarespace sites, follow these streamlined steps to disconnect and reconnect your domain properly.

Prerequisites:

• Your domain must be active (not expired)
• Your Squarespace site must be on a paid plan (not parked)
• Your site must not be expired

Step-by-Step Transfer Process:

1. Disconnect the Domain

• Open Domains panel in your current site
• Click on the domain name
• Scroll down and select "Disconnect Domain"
• Confirm the disconnection

2. Connect to New Site

• Log into your new Squarespace site
• Go to Domains panel
• Click "Use a Domain You Own"
• Enter your domain name and click Continue
• Select "Connect with Provider"
• Choose your domain provider from the dropdown

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

• Follow the automatic connection process
• Click Accept when prompted

For manual connection:

• Copy the unique CNAME code from Squarespace's DNS settings
• Log into your domain provider account
• Locate DNS management settings
• Find the CNAME record with verify.squarespace.com
• Replace the Alias field with the new code
• Save changes

Connection typically completes within 24 hours, though it may take up to 72 hours.

Google Workspace Transfer: If you have Google Workspace associated with your domain, contact support after domain transfer with:

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

Troubleshooting:

• Check provider-specific guides for detailed CNAME editing steps
• Verify all DNS records are correct
• Monitor connection status in the Domains panel
