Within five days of registration, you can rename your Squarespace domain by canceling it and registering a new one. After this period, domain names become permanent.

Important Notes:

• The five-day grace period is measured to the minute
• Most country code domains (like .co.uk or .de) don't have a grace period
• Primary domains must be replaced before removal
• Refunds are issued for canceled domains within the grace period

How to Rename Your Domain:

1. Cancel the Current Domain:

   • Visit your domains dashboard
   • Select the domain to change
   • Click "Delete Domain"

2. Register a New Domain:

   • Return to domains dashboard
   • Complete new domain registration process

Exceptions:

• Country code domains (ccTLDs) cannot be canceled but can have auto-renewal disabled
• Domains purchased through resellers must be canceled through the reseller's account

Tips for Domain Changes:

• Set a different primary domain before removing the current one
• Plan ahead for maintaining your online presence
• Check specific rules for your domain type
• Consider SEO implications when changing domains

Remember to complete both cancellation and new registration steps promptly to minimize website disruption.
