Connect Domain
A domain name is a unique address used to locate a website on the internet (i.e. stnsvn.com). If you don’t already have a domain, we recommend purchasing one through Squarespace because you can connect it to your website more easily. Purchase a domain through Squarespace here. Your first domain purchase on Squarespace will be free for the first year, then around $20 annually.
How to Connect a Custom Domain with Squarespace
If you have already purchased a custom domain through Squarespace, you can connect it to your website by following the steps below (even if it is already connected to another Squarespace site):
Navigate to your Home menu, click the gear settings icon > Domains & Emails > Domains > Use a Domain I Own.
Once on the Use a Domain I Own window, enter the domain name.
Click Move [your domain name].
Click Confirm.
It can take between 24–72 hours for the transfer to be completed when you move a domain between Squarespace sites. Fortunately, it usually occurs much faster—within an hour or two.
How to Connect a Custom Domain Purchased Through a Third-Party
If you purchase your domain through a third-party registrar like GoDaddy or Bluehost, there are a few more steps, and the connection process isn’t as automated as it is with a Squarespace domain. Still, Squarespace has detailed instructions to walk you through connecting a domain from over 15 popular domain providers.
