To connect a Squarespace domain to your site, ensure the domain is parked and both the domain and website are in the same Squarespace account. You'll need admin permissions for both.

Basic Requirements:

  • Domain must be parked (not connected to another site)
  • Domain and website must be in the same Squarespace account
  • Admin permissions needed for both domain and website

Connect Your Domain:

  1. Go to domains dashboard
  2. Click your domain
  3. Select Website
  4. Click Connect Existing Websites
  5. Choose the site to connect
  6. Click Next, then Confirm

Change Domain Connection:

  1. Access domains dashboard
  2. Select your domain
  3. Click Website
  4. Choose Change Connection
  5. Pick new site
  6. Confirm changes

Remove Domain Connection:

  1. Open domains dashboard
  2. Select domain
  3. Click Website
  4. Select Change Connection
  5. Choose Park this domain
  6. Confirm removal

Important Notes:

  • Cannot connect domain to specific pages (but can forward to them)
  • Subdomains are treated as third-party domains
  • If previously connected to third-party service, remove all records before reconnecting
  • Keep billing and permissions separate from website
  • Transfer domain instead of connecting if you want shared billing and permissions

For reconnecting after third-party forwarding, remove all external records and restore default Squarespace settings.

If you lack access:

  • For website access: Request Admin participant permissions
  • For domain access: Request domain administrator status
