A Squarespace domain allows you to manage your website and domain from one central location. Domains start at $20 per year, with pricing varying by top-level domain (TLD).

Annual website subscriptions include one free custom domain for the first year. You can register domains on any Squarespace plan, with prices ranging from $20 to $350 annually.

Key Benefits:

  • Full DNS control with ability to map or transfer domains
  • Free Whois privacy protection
  • Free SSL certificate for domains pointing to Squarespace sites
  • 200+ available TLDs including country-specific options (ccTLDs)

Domain Requirements:

  • 3-63 characters in length
  • Can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens
  • Cannot include "squarespace" or "sqsp"
  • Special characters (ü, é, ñ) may not display properly in all browsers

Important Considerations:

  • Multiple domains can be grouped for billing
  • Grouped domains share Google Workspace eligibility
  • Premium domains (pre-registered/aftermarket) cannot be registered
  • Cannot register already-registered domains

Domain Management Options:

  • Transfer existing domains to Squarespace
  • Connect third-party domains by changing DNS settings
  • Move domains between Squarespace sites within the same account
  • Ungroup domains for separate billing or additional Google Workspace accounts

Supported Country Code TLDs include domains for Australia, Canada, European Union, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States, and others.

For domains owned by Squarespace customers, interested buyers can submit purchase requests through the Whois contact form.
