Follow these straightforward steps to disconnect a third-party domain from your Squarespace site:

Before Disconnecting:

• Set up a new primary domain if you're disconnecting your current primary domain
• Note that disconnecting a domain won't cancel linked services like Google Workspace
• For GoDaddy domains connected automatically, you'll need to disconnect manually after these steps

Step 1: Disconnect Domain

1. Log in to your Squarespace site
2. Open the Domains panel
3. Select the third-party domain
4. Scroll down and click "Disconnect domain"
5. Click "Disconnect" to confirm

Step 2: Edit DNS Records

1. Log in to your domain provider account
2. Delete all Squarespace DNS records
3. Contact your domain provider for specific DNS editing instructions

Important Notes:

• Disconnecting doesn't automatically change DNS records
• Your domain will continue pointing to Squarespace until DNS records are updated
• Visitors will see an error message until DNS records are properly configured
• When deleting an expired site, connected third-party domains disconnect automatically
• GoDaddy domains need manual disconnection even after following these steps

Domain Provider Specific Instructions:

• GoDaddy
• Namecheap
• Network Solutions

Contact your domain provider's support for detailed DNS record management assistance.
