Start connecting your domain by accessing the Domains panel in Squarespace. Click "Use Your Domain," enter your domain name, and select "Turbify" from the dropdown menu. Keep the DNS Settings panel open for reference.

Log into your Turbify account and locate your domain in the Domains section. Click on "Domain" in Control Panels.

Add these DNS records in your Turbify domain control panel:

  1. First CNAME Record:
  • Source: [Copy unique verification code from Squarespace]
  • Type: CNAME
  • Destination: verify.squarespace.com
  1. Second CNAME Record:
  • Source: *
  • Type: CNAME
  • Destination: ext-cust.squarespace.com
  1. A Record:
  • Source: @
  • Type: A
  • Destination: 198.185.159.144

Important Notes:

  • Don't remove existing email-related records
  • Connection can take 24-72 hours
  • Check connection status in Squarespace's DNS Settings panel
  • A green "Connected" label indicates successful connection

Troubleshooting:

  • Use the DNS Checker tool if you see "Unable to verify domain ownership"
  • Wait full 72 hours before assuming there's an issue
  • Contact Turbify support for account-specific questions

The connection is complete when you see green labels in the Current Data column and a "Connected" status in the Domains panel.

Remember to maintain your domain-only plan with Turbify if you currently have website hosting included. This ensures proper connection to Squarespace.
