If you are having trouble with forwarding your Squarespace root domain URL to your outside web page, make sure to delete all your DNS records. sign out of Squarespace and then signing. and add the new records. Do not add A N/A 198.185.159.144. I am using Google Sites, so I have to add the following
www CNAME ghs.googlehosted.com.
@ A N/A 198.185.159.145
@ A N/A 198.49.23.144
@ A N/A 198.49.23.145
the other CNAME, which I redacted is the domain verification from Google Ownership verification details, and the Squarespace domain is now automatically forwarding to my Google sites. See the attached picture.
PS. I am a freelance web developer helping people with low budgets set up their websites with Google Sites, PayPal, and Squarespace domains. example of my work. my client's website, see. https://www.zeebayafricanfoods.com/ and https://www.intouchsolutionsllc.com/ if you would like to contact me elvizbiz@gmail.com.
