Here's your domain transfer guide, revised for clarity and Google featured snippet optimization:

Transfer your domain from Squarespace by following these steps to manage your domain's billing and settings with a new provider.

Before Starting:

• Allow up to 15 business days for transfer completion
• Free domain benefits don't transfer to new providers
• Remove DNSSEC before transferring
• Domain transfer doesn't affect website hosting
• Special requirements apply for .de, .co.uk, .org.uk, and .uk domains

Step-by-Step Transfer Process:

1. Access your domain dashboard
2. Select the domain to transfer
3. Disable Domain Lock by toggling it off
4. Click "Request Transfer Code" and confirm
5. Check your email for authorization code from [email protected]
6. Share the code with your new domain provider

Important Considerations:

• Transfer authorization code arrives within 24 hours
• Only use the most recent transfer code if multiple exist
• Domain must be active for transfer
• 60-day transfer lock may apply to new domains
• Maintain Google Workspace MX records after transfer

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Check spam folder for authorization code
• Verify correct email address in Registration Info
• Ensure domain lock is disabled
• Contact new provider if transfer exceeds 7 business days

Cancellation Options:

• Cancel within 5 days via confirmation email
• Re-enable domain lock before sharing authorization code
• Contact new provider for cancellation after code sharing

Transfer Verification:

• Tucows domains require additional confirmation
• Monitor transfer status through domain dashboard
• Transferred domain appears as third-party domain
• Make DNS changes through new provider after transfer

Post-Transfer Actions:

• Update MX records if using Google Workspace
• Disconnect domain if using with another site
• Cancel Squarespace subscription if needed
• Manage DNS settings through new provider

Follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth domain transfer process and maintain uninterrupted service for your website and email.
