Cancel a Squarespace domain within 5 days of registration to change it, or wait until it expires. Here's how to rename your domain:

Within 5 Days of Registration:

1. Cancel current domain:

• Visit domains control panel
• Select target domain
• Click "Delete domain"
• Receive automatic refund

2. Register new domain:

• Return to domains panel
• Choose and register new domain name

Important Notes:

• 5-day grace period is calculated to the minute
• Most country code domains (like .com.au or .de) don't have grace periods
• Can't remove primary domains without setting another first
• Resold domains must be cancelled through original reseller

After 5 Days:

• Domain name becomes permanent
• Can't be renamed until expiration
• Can change primary domain status
• Must wait for current domain to expire

Best Practices:

• Plan domain name carefully before registering
• Set temporary primary domain if needed
• Keep track of registration date and time
• Consider future branding needs

For country-specific domains or special cases, check domain-specific rules and resources for detailed guidance.
