A domain strategy helps maximize your online presence and reach your target audience effectively. Multiple domains can protect your brand, capture common misspellings, and increase visibility.

Managing Multiple Domains

Multiple domains can point to a single site or different sites within your account. Each domain serves as a unique address directing visitors to your content. View and manage all your domains through the domains dashboard, where you can:

• Link domains to websites
• Update domain information
• Manage billing details
• Monitor domain status

Benefits of Multiple Domains

1. Brand Protection

• Register similar domain variations
• Prevent competitor acquisition
• Secure common misspellings
• Cover multiple TLDs (.com, .net, etc.)

2. Increased Traffic

• Create multiple entry points
• Capture typo traffic
• Expand regional presence
• Enhance marketing campaigns

SEO Considerations

Multiple domains won't negatively impact your search rankings. All additional domains redirect to your primary domain, preventing duplicate content penalties.

Domain Management Options

You can add domains through three methods:

• Register new Squarespace domains
• Transfer existing domains to Squarespace
• Connect third-party domains

Billing and Maintenance

• Each domain bills separately based on its cycle
• Grouped domains share billing information
• Domain renewals charge to the card on file
• Canceling site service doesn't auto-cancel domains

Parked Domains

Register domains without an active site using parked pages. These ad-free, minimalist pages reserve your domain until you're ready to use it.

Domain Redirection Options

When restructuring your domain strategy, you can:

• Move domains to different sites
• Forward to external websites
• Transfer to other providers
• Cancel or disconnect domains

Remember to regularly review your domain portfolio and ensure all redirects and settings align with your current business needs.
