Follow these steps to disconnect a third-party domain from your Squarespace site and properly update DNS records.

Before Disconnecting:

• Set a new primary domain if disconnecting your current primary domain
• Note that disconnecting won't cancel any linked Google Workspace accounts
• For GoDaddy automatic links, manual disconnection is required afterward
• Expired site deletion automatically disconnects all third-party domains

Step 1: Disconnect Domain

1. Go to your Squarespace site's Domains panel
2. Select the third-party domain
3. Scroll down and click "Disconnect Domain"
4. Confirm by clicking "Disconnect" in the popup

Step 2: Update DNS Records

1. Log into your domain provider account
2. Remove all Squarespace DNS records
3. Contact your provider for specific DNS modification steps

Important Notes:

• Disconnecting doesn't automatically change DNS records
• Unmodified DNS records will still point to Squarespace but show errors
• Check the Domains tab in Dashboard if unsure about domain connections
• GoDaddy domains require additional manual disconnection steps

Remember:

• Each provider has different DNS management processes
• Domain will continue pointing to Squarespace until DNS records are updated
• Your domain provider's support can assist with DNS record modifications

Follow your domain provider's specific instructions for removing DNS records to complete the disconnection process.
