How to Set Up Office 365 With Your Squarespace Domain
Office 365 lets you create custom email addresses using your Squarespace domain. Here's how to set it up:
Prerequisites:
- Active Office 365 account
- Custom Squarespace domain
- Domain not connected to Google Workspace or other email services
Step 1: Verify Domain Ownership
- Sign up for Microsoft 365
- Add a TXT record to your domain through Squarespace's domain panel
- Wait for verification to complete
Step 2: Configure DNS Records
- Access your Squarespace domain settings
- Add required DNS records based on needed Microsoft services:
- MX records for email
- CNAME records for Outlook
- TXT records for spam protection
- Follow Microsoft's specific DNS requirements for each service
Important Notes:
- Allow up to 48 hours for DNS changes to take effect
- For email migration assistance, consult Microsoft's documentation
- Third-party domain users should contact their domain provider
- Google Workspace users need to contact Google for Microsoft Apps integration
This setup enables you to use professional email addresses matching your website domain (example: [email protected]) through Office 365's email services.
For detailed DNS record configuration, refer to Microsoft's official documentation or Squarespace's custom DNS records guide.
