Extending Your Squarespace Domain Registration
Learn how to lock in your domain price by adding years to your registration.
TL;DR: Key Points
- Secure current domain pricing by adding years early
- No refunds are possible after extending a domain registration
- Maximum extension limits depend on the TLD's registry rules
- Payment methods like SEPA aren't compatible with registration extensions
- Keep billing info updated to prevent service disruptions
Before You Start
Before deciding to extend your domain registration on Squarespace, remember that this action is irreversible (no cancellations or refunds). You'll also need to consider your current payment method and whether it supports domain extension. For instance, SEPA payments won't work here.
Payment Methods
If your current method doesn't support adding years, you'll need to switch to an alternative method before proceeding.
How to Add Years to Your Domain
To extend your domain registration for additional years and protect yourself from potential price increases, follow these steps:
- Go to the Domains Dashboard: Log into your Squarespace account and access the dashboard
- Select Your Domain: Find and click on the domain you want to extend
- Adjust Settings: In the Overview section, look for the option labelled 'Add years' near the Auto-renew toggle
- Complete Your Purchase: Follow the on-screen prompts to finalise the extension
The 'Add years' option might be unavailable if you've already extended to the maximum number of years that the TLD registry allows.
Pixelhaze Tip
If your domain is central to your business or personal brand, adding years to your registration well before it expires is smart budget planning. It locks in current pricing and prevents any nasty surprises. Keep a reliable payment method linked and make sure your billing information stays current to avoid service interruptions.
