A Squarespace domain may be suspended if you haven't verified ownership within 15 days of registration or if there's an issue with your annual registration summary email. Here's how to fix a suspended domain:

Check If Your Domain Is Suspended

Look for a red "Domain suspended" warning in your domains dashboard. If you don't see this warning but your domain isn't working, try clearing your browser's cache or disabling extensions.

Important Notes:

  • Domain verification typically takes 15 minutes
  • Suspended domains remain yours until expiration
  • Annual verification emails are sent to confirm contact information
  • Domains will renew automatically if payment method is valid
  • Expired domains will be deleted by TLD registry

A suspended domain will remain yours and can't be claimed by others without legal documentation. Keep your contact information updated to avoid future suspensions.
