lisacole2 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Site URL: https://www.philipparedding.co.uk Hi I'm trying to connect a Squarespace site to names.co.uk - not names.com. The instructions I found all talk about names.com having a squarespace dns template, names.co.uk doesn't have that. I can edit the DNS records but it does not accept @ as a host name. "Host name for A record 3 is invalidHost name for A record 4 is invalidHost name for A record 5 is invalidHost name for A record 6 is invalid." Any help would be much appreciated. Link to comment
