Disconnecting a third-party domain requires two main steps:

Before You Start:

• Set a new primary domain if disconnecting your primary domain
• Note that disconnecting a domain won't cancel linked Google Workspace accounts
• For GoDaddy domains connected automatically, additional manual disconnection is required
• Expired sites will automatically disconnect all linked third-party domains

Step 1: Disconnect Domain from Squarespace

1. Log into your Squarespace site
2. Open the Domains panel
3. Select the third-party domain
4. Scroll to find and click "Disconnect domain"
5. Confirm disconnection in the pop-up window

Step 2: Update DNS Records

1. Log into your domain provider account
2. Remove all Squarespace DNS records
3. Contact your domain provider for specific DNS editing steps

Important Notes:

• Your domain will continue pointing to Squarespace until DNS records are updated
• Visitors will see an error message until DNS changes take effect
• Domain management steps vary by provider
• Contact your domain provider's support for detailed DNS assistance

Note for GoDaddy Users: After following these steps, additional manual disconnection is required through GoDaddy support.

For Google Workspace Users: Follow separate cancellation steps if you wish to terminate Google Workspace services, as domain disconnection doesn't affect this service.

Check your Account Dashboard's Domains tab if unsure about domain connections.
