Managing .co Domains on Squarespace
If you're targeting a Colombian audience or simply like the clean, professional feel of a .co domain, Squarespace makes it straightforward to manage them. Whether you're registering a new .co domain, transferring one, or connecting it from another provider, there are some specific features and rules you need to know about.
Registration and Connection
You can search for, register, or check the price of .co domains directly on Squarespace's domain search page. If you're connecting a .co domain from a third-party provider, the standard connection process applies, though transfers and registrations follow specific protocols set by the registry and Squarespace.
Special Rules and Features
Domain Locking
For added security, Squarespace allows .co domains to be locked, preventing unauthorized transfers or changes.
Expired Domains
How expired .co domains are handled depends on your registrar. Tucows domains offer a 30-day redemption period with a potential fee for restoration. For domains handled by Key-Systems, you can renew within approximately 30 days after expiration via your Squarespace dashboard or by contacting support directly if the domain disappears from your dashboard.
Promotional Offers and Costs
Unlike some top-level domains (TLDs) offered by Squarespace, .co domains don't qualify for free domain promotions. Transferring a .co domain to Squarespace is free, but you'll need to purchase an additional one-year extension as required by ICANN (this keeps your existing registration time).
Whois Privacy
Squarespace supports Whois privacy for .co domains, allowing you to keep your registration contact information private from the public database.
Pixelhaze Tip:
Always ensure your .co domain's contact information is up-to-date, especially if you're using Whois privacy. This ensures you receive important notifications and maintain control over your domain.
