To add DNS records to your domain:

DNS records (resource records) contain essential information about your domain, enabling users to connect to your website or email address, enhance security, and authenticate domain ownership.

You can modify DNS records in Squarespace if you:

Note: For domains connected via DNS Connect, modify DNS settings through your third-party domain provider.
