Follow these steps to connect a Turbify domain to your Squarespace site:

Requirements

Step 1: Start Squarespace Connection

  1. Open Domains panel
  2. Click "I already have a domain"
  3. Enter your domain name
  4. Click "Connect the domain"
  5. Select Turbify from dropdown
  6. Keep DNS Settings panel open for reference

Step 2: Access Turbify Account

  1. Log in to Turbify
  2. Find your domain under "Domains" section
  3. Click "Domain" under Dashboard

Step 3: Add First CNAME Record

  • Host: [Copy unique code from Squarespace]
  • Type: CNAME
  • Points to: verify.squarespace.com

Step 4: Add Second CNAME Record

  • Host: * (asterisk)

  • Points to: ext-cust.squarespace.com

Step 5: Add A Record

  • Host: @
  • Type: A

Important Notes:

  • Monitor progress in Squarespace DNS Settings panel
  • Green labels indicate successful connections

Troubleshooting:
