Google Domains to Squarespace Migration Guide

Squarespace acquired all Google Domains registrations on September 7, 2023. All domains have now been successfully transferred to Squarespace's management system.

Managing Your Domain

If you had a Google Domain, you'll now manage it through Squarespace:

• Existing Squarespace users: Log in at squarespace.com/login with your usual credentials
• New users: Use "Continue with Google" with your Google Domains email address

The domain dashboard provides access to:

• Billing settings
• Contact information
• DNS records
• Nameservers and DNSSEC
• Whois privacy

Account Management

From your Squarespace account dashboard, you can:

• Change email/password
• Enable two-factor authentication
• Update notification preferences
• Manage domain settings

Billing Information

• Domain subscriptions auto-renew annually
• Previous Google Domain registration periods are honored
• Renewal notices sent 15 days before due date
• New Squarespace rates apply from September 7, 2024
• Tax exemptions must be re-applied through Squarespace

Important Changes

• Domain and email forwarding rules require DNS record updates
• Dynamic DNS is not supported
• ACME TLS/SSL certificates aren't supported
• Domains can be transferred immediately (no 60-day lock)
• Google services (Analytics, Search Console, Ads) continue working
• No website subscription required

Domain ownership transfers, DNS configurations, and technical support options are available through Squarespace's domain management system. For detailed instructions on specific settings or troubleshooting, contact Squarespace support.

All existing services and remaining registration periods are maintained through the transition, ensuring minimal disruption to domain operations.
