A naked domain is a website address that doesn't include "www" at the beginning. Here's how to remove the "www" prefix from your domain:

For Squarespace-Managed Domains:

1. Navigate to the Domains panel
2. Locate the "Use www prefix" option
3. Turn off this setting

For Third-Party Domains:

1. Access the Domains panel
2. Find and disable the "Use www prefix" option

Important Notes:

• Changes can take 24-72 hours to process fully
• Once complete, your domain will appear without "www" in the address bar
• Both versions of your domain (with and without "www") will still work
• Visitors typing either version will be directed to your preferred format

Technical Note: Your domain will continue functioning normally during the transition period. The change only affects how your URL appears in browsers and search results.
