Thanks

See Connecting a subdomain to your Squarespace site.

Hi Paul.  I think I am missing something.  The Domain is purchased through Squarespace so I can only create a sub domain from within the associated website (https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205812058). 

I want to keep with website live and use the sub domain on a separate website but the error I see when I try to connect with my sub domain is "This domain is registered on another Squarespace site. To move it here, follow this guide".    

If I transfer the domain - What happens to my initial website? 

Thanks

This is a standard Squarespace feature so if it's not working as expected or the documentation is not clear, I recommend you contact Squarespace Customer Care directly to explain the issues you are experiencing. 

Thanks Paul, 

I've sent this feature request - I think the solution is to avoid buying domains through squarespace to maintain full control. 

Best
