  1. In Hover:
  • Copy the verification code from Squarespace's first Host row
  • Paste code into Hover's "Verify Value" field
  • Click "Connect" (Hover adds remaining records automatically)
  1. Wait for Connection:
  • Allow 24-72 hours for full propagation
  • Monitor progress in Squarespace DNS Settings
  • Look for green labels and "Connected" status
  • Temporary errors are normal during this period

Troubleshooting:

  • If errors persist after 72 hours, check domain connection troubleshooting guide
  • For Hover-specific issues, contact Hover support
  • Ensure all DNS records match Squarespace requirements

The domain remains registered with Hover while connecting to your Squarespace site. During the connection period, your site may experience temporary accessibility issues.

Note: Before starting, verify that your domain meets Squarespace's third-party domain connection requirements.
