How to Connect Your Squarespace Domain to a Site
TL;DR: Key Points
- Delete all old DNS records before connecting domains
- Most domains connect immediately, but some may take up to 48 hours
- Only parked domains can be connected to a different site within the same account
- Update your domain's connection easily through the domain dashboard
Getting Started with Your Domain Connection
If you want to connect your Squarespace domain to a different site, it needs to be parked first. Parked domains aren't linked to any website, which means they're free to connect elsewhere. If your domain is already active on another site and you need it on a new Squarespace site, you'll need to park it first.
Preparing to Connect Your Domain
Before you connect your domain, clean up any existing DNS records that might cause problems. You need to remove any A or CNAME records that point to other sites. These will conflict with Squarespace's settings and stop your domain working properly.
Steps to Connect Your Domain
- Go to your domain's dashboard in Squarespace
- Select your domain
- Click "Website"
- Choose "Connect existing website"
- Select the site you want to connect
- Click "Next", then "Confirm"
Managing Your Domain Settings
Changing Your Domain Connection
If you want to connect your domain to a different site:
- Go to your domain dashboard
- Select your domain and click "Website"
- Choose "Change connection"
- Pick the new site, click "Next", then "Confirm"
Disconnecting Your Domain
To disconnect your domain and park it:
- Open your domain dashboard
- Select your domain and click "Website"
- Click "Change connection"
- Choose "Park this domain", click "Next", then "Confirm"
Pixelhaze Tip: If you want to grab Squarespace offers like a free domain or Google Workspace, moving your domain (rather than just connecting it) might work better for you.
Common Questions
How long does domain connection take?
Most connections happen straight away, but occasionally it takes up to 48 hours.
Can I link my domain to a specific page on another site?
No, you can't link directly to a specific page. But you can set up forwarding to redirect visitors to that page.
How do I redirect my domain to another Squarespace site?
Use your domain dashboard to change the connection settings to point to your preferred site.
Quick Reference
Squarespace: Website building platform that doesn't require coding knowledge
Domain: Your website address (like pixelhaze.co.uk)
DNS Records: The system that translates domain names into IP addresses so browsers can find your site
A Records: DNS records that point a domain to a specific IP address
CNAME Records: DNS records that point a domain to another domain name
Wrapping Up
Connecting your Squarespace domain is straightforward once you know the steps. Whether you're setting up for the first time or switching between sites, the process stays the same. Just remember to park your domain first if it's already connected elsewhere, and clean up those DNS records to avoid any headaches.
