Moving a Squarespace domain between sites is straightforward when you follow these guidelines.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must have owner or administrator rights on both sites
• Domain must be active (not expired)
• Destination site must be paid (not on Mobile Starting plan)

Moving Process:

1. Open Domains dashboard
2. Click your domain
3. Scroll to and click "Move Domain"
4. Select destination site thumbnail
5. Click Confirm to complete transfer

Domain redirect typically takes 24-72 hours to complete.
