Getting Started with Your Domains Dashboard
Your Squarespace Domains Dashboard is where you manage all your domains. Think of it as your control centre - whether you've got one domain or twenty, everything happens here.
How to Access Your Domains Dashboard
Here's how to get there:
- If you're not logged in, click your profile picture or initials at the bottom of the main menu and log in
- Select 'Domains' from the menu
Quick tip: Having trouble logging in? Use the 'I can't log in' help guide that appears below the login box.
What You Can Do in the Dashboard
Once you're in, you've got several options:
- Transfer a Domain: Click the "Transfer a domain" button in the top-right corner to move a domain from another provider to Squarespace
- Register a New Domain: Hit the "Get a domain" button to search for and buy available domain names
- Manage Existing Domains: Click on any domain name to open its settings page
Managing Individual Domains
Click on any domain name and you'll see its details page. This is where you can change:
- Auto-renewal settings (so your domain doesn't expire accidentally)
- Contact information
- DNS settings
- Email forwarding
- Nameservers and DNSSEC settings
- Domain privacy settings
All your domain's important settings live here, so you don't need to hunt around different pages.
Keeping Track of Changes
The Domain Activity Log shows you what's happened with your domains over the past 90 days. This includes updates to DNS records, domain forwarding changes, and other modifications. Handy if you need to check what changed and when.
When Domains Go Missing
Can't see a domain you know you own? Try these steps:
- Check if the domain might be under a different Squarespace account
- Verify that Squarespace is actually your domain provider using ICANN's lookup tools
- Look for domain recovery emails from Squarespace and follow the instructions
Common Questions
How do I transfer a domain to Squarespace?
Go to your Domains Dashboard, click "Transfer a domain," and follow the steps. You'll need your domain's transfer code from your current provider.
Can I buy a new domain through Squarespace?
Yes. Click the "Get a domain" button in the dashboard to search for and register available domains.
What can I see on a domain's details page?
Everything about that domain - auto-renewal settings, DNS records, contact information, and a log of recent changes.
Technical Terms Explained
DNS Records: These tell the internet where to find your website. They translate your domain name (like yoursite.com) into the actual server address where your site lives.
Nameservers: Special servers that store your DNS records and help direct internet traffic to the right place when someone types in your domain.
Domain Registrar: The company that manages your domain registration. When you register or transfer a domain through Squarespace, they become your registrar.
The Bottom Line
The Domains Dashboard puts all your domain management tools in one place. Whether you're moving domains between providers, buying new ones, or just checking your settings, it's designed to make these tasks straightforward. No need to juggle multiple accounts or hunt through confusing menus - everything's right where you'd expect it to be.
