A domain name serves as your website's address on the internet, allowing visitors to find your site easily. You can replace the default Squarespace domain (yourdomain.squarespace.com) with a custom domain to enhance professionalism and strengthen your brand.

Domain hosting differs from web hosting. Squarespace-hosted domains include 24/7 security monitoring and automatic SSL certificates at no extra cost.

You have three main options for domain management:

1. Register through Squarespace (Recommended)
