Access DNS records for your Squarespace domain to point it to your site or set up email services. This guide explains how to manage DNS settings effectively.

Accessing DNS Settings

2. Click the domain name
3. Select DNS in the sidebar

Adding Default DNS Records

Click "Add default values" to automatically insert correct settings for:

• Google Workspace
• Zoho Mail
• Google Workspace Verification
• Squarespace Default Settings

Restoring Squarespace Default Settings

If your domain stops connecting to your site:

1. Open domains dashboard
2. Select your domain
3. Click DNS in sidebar
4. Choose "Add default values" > "Squarespace Default Settings"

Removing Default Settings

1. Navigate to DNS settings
2. Find Squarespace Default Settings
3. Click the red trash bin icon
4. Confirm deletion

Handling DNS Conflicts

If you see "DNS record conflict" error:

• Check for duplicate records
• Look for conflicting record types
• Refresh and try again
• Ensure you're not mixing email service records

Custom DNS Records

Add custom records by scrolling to "Custom Records" section at the bottom of DNS settings.

Additional Domain Management

You can also:

• Connect third-party domains
• Manage Whois Privacy

Remember: Most DNS changes take 24-72 hours to propagate globally. For third-party domains, modify DNS records through your provider's dashboard, not Squarespace.
