Managing Your Domain After Site Cancellation

Before canceling your site subscription, understand your domain management options to protect your online identity and future website plans.

Squarespace Domains

Your Squarespace-registered domain remains active and auto-renews even after site cancellation. You have several options:

• Keep the domain with Squarespace for future use
• Move it to another Squarespace site
• Transfer to a different provider
• Cancel the domain by disabling auto-renewal

The domain stays linked to your canceled site until you take action to move, forward, or point it elsewhere.

Legacy Free Domains

For legacy free domains:

• Free renewal continues with active annual billing plans
• Upon cancellation, choose to:
  • Let the domain expire
  • Convert to a paid domain ($20/year)

Third-Party Domains

If you used a domain from another provider (like GoDaddy or Google):

• Disconnect it from Squarespace before cancellation
• Manage the domain directly through your provider

Key Considerations

• Domains are separate from site subscriptions
• Auto-renewal continues unless manually disabled
• Plan domain changes before site cancellation
• Consider keeping your domain for future use

Taking these steps ensures smooth domain management and preserves your online identity even after site cancellation.
