Linking your Squarespace domain to a site while maintaining separate billing is straightforward. Here's everything you need to know:

Requirements:

  • Domain must be parked (not attached to another website)
  • Domain and website must be on the same Squarespace account
  • Administrator permissions needed for both domain and website

To Connect Your Domain:

  1. Navigate to domains dashboard
  2. Select your domain
  3. Click "Website"
  4. Choose "Connect existing website"
  5. Select the destination site
  6. Click "Next" and "Confirm"

To Change Connection:

  1. Open domains dashboard
  2. Click your domain
  3. Select "Website"
  4. Choose "Change connection"
  5. Pick new destination site
  6. Confirm changes

To Remove Connection:

  1. Access domains dashboard
  2. Select domain
  3. Click "Website"
  4. Choose "Change connection"
  5. Select "Park this domain"
  6. Confirm removal

Important Notes:

  • You can't connect a domain to specific pages (but can forward to them)
  • For subdomains, use DNS records to connect
  • To reconnect after third-party service use, remove existing records and add Squarespace defaults

Access Requirements:

  • Need domain manager status for domain access
  • Require Administrator permissions for website access
  • Request appropriate permissions if missing either access level

For reconnecting after third-party use, clear all previous records and restore Squarespace default settings.
