When canceling your website subscription, consider these domain management options:

For Squarespace Domains

Your domain won't automatically expire when canceling your website. You have four main options:

1. Keep the domain with Squarespace:

• Maintains your ownership
• Auto-renews on schedule
• Stays linked to canceled site until redirected

2. Move to another Squarespace site:

• Transfer before canceling website
• Preserves domain settings
• Seamless transition

3. Transfer to a new provider:

• Must complete transfer before canceling
• Allows external domain management
• Maintains domain ownership

4. Cancel the domain:

• Disable auto-renew
• Domain expires at billing cycle end
• Loses domain ownership

For Legacy Free Domains

When canceling a site with a free legacy domain, choose to:

• Let the domain expire
• Convert to a paid domain ($20/year)

For Third-Party Domains

If your domain is from another provider (like GoDaddy):

• Disconnect domain before canceling website
• Manage domain through original provider
• Update DNS settings as needed

Remember: Your domain is your digital identity. Consider keeping it for future use, even if you're canceling your current website.
