Site URL: https://westdesign.agency I have completed my design for a new site. They have an existing URL that we are transferring to SquareSpace. I have unlocked and received the code from the current registrar. It says it is in the process of transferring. Do I need to do anything with the DNS records? attached are screen shots of what I see currently. Thank you for your help.

Site URL: https://www.siloamspringsmuseum.com/ I have been struggling to get my webpage to appear on Google for about a couple of months now. I started working at a local history museum a few months ago. They had already created a webpage using Squarespace, but wanted a fresher look and some updates. The website never had issues with being discoverable until I chose a new template and launched it. I've tried multiple routes, such as making sure the indexing by Google button was on, claiming a sitemap via Google, making sure my website domain (done through a third party) was connected and up-to-date, and so on. No matter what I've done or changed, it still is not discoverable. Can anyone give advice on how to fix this? Here is the website link: https://www.siloamspringsmuseum.com/

Hello For a couple of weeks I've had this Squarespace domain. Overall it's a solid option. However I'd like to "enable less secure apps" in GMail, but GMail tells me that it's managed by my domain admin. If I understand that correctly I should be able to activate this here on squarespace. Does anybody know where that option is? Thank you in advance and happy new year.

I just purchased a domain and have no choice but to use NameBright as the server for the time being but Squarespace's instructions for setting up the new domain don't align with NameBright's DNS editing page. Can anyone tell me if how I've filled this out is correct?

Hello I tried to redirect the index/homepage of my new website/domain to my old website, but it doesn't work. Only the subpage redirect works. What can I do so that both will work? I use this domain only for SEO purposes to create 301 redirects. The domain is conncected from goddaddy , not moved to squarespace. /subpage -> https.//www.oldsite.com/subpage 301 (works) https://www.newsite.com -> https://www.oldsite.com 301 (does not work)

Hello, I have just finished designing my site, and am ready to make it go live. However, my previous site is still up through GoDaddy. There, I have purchased my domain, and have it hosted through cPanel. I want to continue my services with GoDaddy, but just want the domain to link to the SquareSpace site I have created. To my understanding, the best way to do this is by connection my domain. How exactly would I go about doing that? Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if and how I might change my recently purchased domain name, through squarespace. I realise it’s very similar to a web site based in the USA. I am in the UK and wanted to change it. Would I simply need to create a new domain name or can edit the existing one? thanks

Hi everyone. My client currently has a .org domain name and wants to switch to .edu.sg. I've tried searching on Squarespace's domains and it isn't available there, neither can I find it on GoDaddy or Name.com. Does anyone know how I might go about procuring this particular domain? Thanks! ☺️

Choosing a domain name (the address/URL of your site) is a momentous occasion in your journey as a website owner. A domain is your brand’s first impression and coming up with a unique and memorable name is something that often requires some thought. Common best practices include: Use keywords (about what your business is or where you are located) so your audience can find you easily Keep the name short and simple for easy typing and memorization Keep pronunciation in mind to favor word-of mouth Register mistyped domains, so no matter what your audience types, they'll always be directed to your site. If you already have a business name, then you’ve got your starting point. Either way, a decision also needs to be made about what TLD/domain extension (part of a URL that follows the last period) to pick. While .com is the most familiar and easiest to remember, you could consider other common choices such as .net, .org, or even location (.uk, .ca, .au) or business/niche (.yoga, .community) based extensions as an alternative. No matter what, ideally your decision would be a long lasting one. While it’s always possible to change your domain later on, some caution is required to avoid hurting search rankings. How did you come up with your own domain name? What are your top tips on choosing the right one? Share in the comments below!

I'm helping someone who just paid for a year plan for their Squarespace site, which was built in 7.0. They want me to make them an updated website for them in 7.1, is it possible to transfer the plan so they don't lose their money? will I just have to stick with their 7.0 website? thanks!!

since template switching does not seem to be a thing anymore, redesigning websites has become a impractical beyond belief. sadly the only option is to leave squarespace behind. question: how do we use our domain names bought on squarespace on different services? thanks,

Site URL: https://www.janalicekeeling.com I am trying to transfer my name from Squarespace to Namecheap. I have sent the Auth code to Namecheap, but they say WHOIS says the domain is locked. It does not have Locked checked in Squarespace. I'm afraid I may have triggered the 60-day lock because I started to alter my contact information (from Jan Alice Keeling Art to Jan Alice Keeling)--then I realized it didn't matter, so I went back to Jan Alice Keeling Art. But I'm afraid it may have triggered the lock. What should I do?

Hi - has anyone successfully verified their domain on Facebook? As part of the iOS 14 release, FB is requiring that we verify our domain and offers options to do this via meta-tag injection, HTML file upload, and DNS verification. I tried the meta-tag injection using the code injection feature on Squarespace, but it still wasn't recognizing the code on the site (although I do see the code when I look at the page source). Both FB and Squarespace have been unhelpful so any guidance would be VERY welcome. Thanks!

Site URL: https://balconesforge.org How do I move website into domain. Both domain ( https://balconesforge.org ) and website ( https://balconesforge.squarespace.com/ ) are with Squarespace and paid for. I want to use domain name as URL for customers to use, not have the squarespace in the URL.

So I want to rebrand my company but have paid for members area, does anyone know if members area will transfer if i "use existing site" under the domain purchase? I just don't want to have to pay twice.

I have a website with a free squarespace domain that is on a legacy professional subscription on squarespace 7.0. This free squarespace domain points to custom name servers which then point to google workspace and squarespace. I want to switch to a new trial site I created When I move the domain name, will my custom nameservers be disrupted?

Site URL: https://thegoodchad.com I'm trying to get my domain verified with Facebook for Instagram Shopping. Facebook wants the entire buying and checkout process to occur on the same domain. I use Shopify for checkout and fulfillment, so I had to set up a subdomain for my Shopify store to use. I have verified my top-level domain with Facebook. According to their own documentation when I verify the top-level domain it should verify all subdomains, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I've attached my custom records. The subdomain name has no dots or root domain in the entry name. Is there something else I need to add for Facebook to see and verify my subdomain? Is something there entered wrong? Any insight is greatly appreciated, as Facebook is just repeatedly telling me my subdomain is not verified and to reach out to my domain provider.

Site URL: https://reed-puma-tbde.squarespace.com Hi folks, I'm setting up my first SQSP website (so the above link isn't live) and a noob to creating websites. I am at the point where I need to decide if I should transfer or connect my domain, which I own via GoDaddy. I read SQSP recommends transferring, but I'm having hesitations about it being tied to SQSP. Some areas I have questions about for this decision include cost eg I think SQSP will cost more in future than GoDaddy, in which case staying there makes sense. However, in the first year I believe for an annual plan, SQSP will give a credit so that the transferred domain is essentially free (and I plan to sign up for 1 year) Flexibility to leave SQSP in future - I have read some people have had issues moving their domains from SQSP, not sure how widespread that is though What's in it for SQSP for them to recommend transfer? I've not seen any justification for their recommendation to transfer beyond managing it in the same area as my website - which hasn't been a paint point so far ease/speed of getting started - it sounds like connecting is easier and faster than transferring I'd really appreciate your advice and/or your experience on making this decision. Thank you!

I transferred a domain from SQS to Porkbun on Friday. Porkbun received and accepted it successfully. However, when I go into SQS > Use a domain I own > mydomain.com > Click Return > Connect Domain, there is an error message that says “This domain is already associated with a Squarespace site. I clicked the “these instructions” link and learned that I did not go into Advanced Settings and disable the DNSSEC before transferring the domain to Porkbun. What do I do? I don’t have the Host Verification Code from Squarespace to add to my Porkbun DNS settings to point my domain to Squarespace?

Site URL: http://laureninowicki.com TL;DR: Is there anyway to transfer a G Suite account purchased through WordPress to Squarespace? (Domain has been transferred from WP to SS) Years ago I built my website using WordPress . com since it was cheap and simple. A few months ago, I purchased my GSuite email account through WordPress using my WordPress domain. Recently, I decided that I wanted to put more effort into my website and made the switch to Squarespace (LOVE IT) and I transferred my domain from WordPress to Squarespace easily. I cancelled my WordPress plan so it is now "domain . wordpress . com" but want to shut down my WordPress account all together. Since I purchased my G Suite through them, I can't do that and Im essentially paying an extra $6 a month for the email through them and by having the Squarespace plan that allows for a G Suite account. I just want to have my website and email all in one place and on one bill. I'm hoping there is a way to keep my G Suite as it is so I don't lose any info on it or have to set it up all over again but move it to Squarespace where my domain now is. Is there any way to do that?

Hi, I am new here and I have an Ecwid website. I have my domain on Ecwid and I want to keep Ecwid. I am trying to decide if I connect the same domain on squarespace will it direct people to squarespace or Ecwid? Or is it all in one? Do I need a subdomain or is everything good.

Site URL: https://www.mustbethelove.com/ Hi, I’m very new to this forum and it’s a little overwhelming (I just figured out how to post lol) I purchased a URL on Squarespace for mustbethelove.com and I’m trying to have it forward to a non-Squarespace site https://lnk.fu.ga/wesleybright_mustbethelove I’ve done URL forwarding on plenty of domains on Squarespace, but for some reason I can’t get this one to work. Does it take several hours to work? I've attached a screenshot of my DNS settings (I followed the instructions in the Help area) and a screenshot of what I see when I go to my domain.

Help! My client had a WIX site before Squarespace. The domain won't connect and I'm assuming there are extra settings in here I need to delete but I don't know which one's. Are the MX ones from Wix or is that from her mail? I don't want to mess up her mail.
