Need help..

Old website with 1and1.. I don't need anything from old website.

1. I have built a SquareSpace site -  https://aaihomeplans.squarespace.com/

2. Transferred my domain from Network Solutions to Squarespace 

3. When anyone types "www.aaihomeplans" in their browser, I want them to arrive at my Squarespace site (with the correct name displayed in the address bar) 

I think I need to edit the Custom records section on my aaihomeplans domain setting page (attached) as I see 1and1 entries in "custom records".  I will cancel that hosting account asap.. What do I put where so it works..?

MANY THANKS..

From what I can see, the domain settings look correct, but the site (or page) visibility is set to password-protected. The built-in domain has been changed from abdul-garuba.squarespace.com to aa

The built-in domain has been changed from abdul-garuba.squarespace.com to aaihomeplans.squarespace.com and this is now reached from www.aaihomeplans.com. If you remove the password, it should work.

Paul,

I changed the site name from abdul_garuba to aaihomeplans.. It is set to Public.. The site you see when you go to aaihomplans.com is the old site. (the DNS settings are pointed to it - this is what needs to be changed.

Thanks
