You'll always find your site's embedded domain (Squarespace URL) in this format:

yoursiteid.squarespace.com

The site ID uses a randomly generated two-word combination, sometimes with additional random characters. You can change this ID anytime.

Your embedded domain appears in the browser's address bar when logged in, even if you have a custom domain. While visitors with a custom domain will see that instead, your embedded domain remains visible in the login screen and source code.

Embedded vs. Custom Domains

• Embedded domain: Automatically assigned URL ending in .squarespace.com
• Custom domain: Your chosen address (like yourdomain.com)

Finding Your Embedded Domain When logged in, check your browser's address bar and copy everything before "/config" in the URL.

Changing Your Embedded Domain Requirements:

• 3-30 characters long
• Letters, numbers, and hyphens only (no special characters)
• Must start with a letter
• Cannot end with a hyphen
• Not available for parking pages or Acuity Scheduling subscriptions

Steps to change:

1. Open the Domain panel
2. Click your embedded domain
3. Enter new site ID
4. Click Save

You'll receive a confirmation email titled "Updated Squarespace URL" after the change is complete.

Note: If your desired site ID is taken, you'll see an error message. Contact support if you want to use an embedded domain from a deleted site.
