To disconnect a third-party domain from your Squarespace site, follow these steps:

Important Considerations:

• Set a new primary domain before disconnecting your current primary domain
• Domain disconnection doesn't cancel linked Google Workspace accounts
• For GoDaddy domains that were automatically linked, manual disconnection is required
• Expired site deletion automatically disconnects all linked third-party domains

Step 1: Disconnect Domain from Squarespace

1. Log into your Squarespace account
2. Open the Domains panel
3. Select the third-party domain
4. Scroll down and click "Disconnect domain"
5. Confirm by clicking "Disconnect" in the popup

Step 2: Update DNS Records

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

Note: Until DNS records are updated, your domain will still point to Squarespace but show an error message instead of your site.

Important Notes:

• Different domain providers have varying DNS management interfaces
• DNS record modification steps vary by provider
• Domain disconnection doesn't automatically modify DNS records
• Keep your domain provider's support contact information handy for assistance

For GoDaddy Users: After following the above steps, you'll need to perform an additional manual disconnection. Contact GoDaddy support for detailed assistance with this process.

Remember: If you're disconnecting a Squarespace-purchased domain or need to transfer it to another provider, follow the domain transfer process instead of these disconnection steps.
