1918 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I am trying to create a CNAME so that: example.com goes to --> www.example.com The Edit DNS UI does not support an apex (@) record nor can I leave the host field blank. Other DNS systems would allow for entering the root domain name in the host field (example.com) but it seems Squarespace already assumes/includes the root domain for any value you enter. Although not ideal, I tried to setup a domain forwarding / redirect and using (@) and it also generates an error. I can't seem to find a way to contact Squarespace directly for help on domain/DNS issues. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment

I have been fighting this exact same issue for a month. They told me to have the "WWW" switch turned on and it would automatically redirect. It doesn't. Team 1 Link to comment
kristinrussellslp Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Any updates on this issue? I have tried to create a CNAME record using the root "@" in the host field but returns the following error: "We were unable to save this record due to conflicting CNAME records." It's crazy that you can only add a CNAME record with WWW. Link to comment
