How do I connect a custom domain to Squarespace?

Reviewed October 13, 2026, by Long Drive Group.

Decide whether you are connecting a domain you already own or registering a new one. Keep access to the registrar and DNS records with the business. Follow Squarespace’s connection instructions for that registrar.

Record existing website and email DNS before changing anything. Verify the website, HTTPS, redirects, and business email after propagation. A new design delivery does not automatically move a domain or an existing website subscription.
