Moving a domain between Squarespace sites is straightforward when you meet the eligibility requirements and follow these steps.

Requirements:

• Must have owner/administrator rights on both sites
• Domain must not be expired or resold
• Destination site must be paid (not Mobile Start plan)
• Domain owner must authorize billing for parked domains

Before Moving:

• Ensure you have proper permissions on both sites
• Check if your Google Workspace subscription is eligible for transfer
• Verify domain renewal status (disabled status will remain after move)
• Currency differences are acceptable (price will convert to new site's currency)

Steps to Move Domain:

1. Access Domains dashboard
2. Click your domain
3. Scroll to "Move Domain"
4. Select destination site thumbnail
5. Click Confirm to complete transfer

Domain redirection typically takes 24-72 hours.

Google Workspace Transfer:

• Transfers automatically with domain move
• Requires active subscription status
• New site must not have existing Google Workspace subscription

Free Domain Considerations:

• Monthly plan sites receive $0 invoice
• Annual plan sites maintain existing domain charges
• New free domain registration available with annual plans

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

• "No authorized sites" message: Check site eligibility and permissions
• Site not visible: Request administrator permissions
• Transfer error: Check email from [email protected]
• Domain not moving: Ensure Google Workspace account is active

If you encounter problems, contact support with:

• Current site URL (yoursitename.squarespace.com)
• Destination site URL
• Custom domain name
• Current step in process

Note: You cannot move domains to expired sites or transfer Email Campaigns, Member Areas, or Scheduling subscriptions between sites.
