The migration of your Google Domains account to Squarespace was completed following the September 7, 2023 acquisition. Here's what you need to know about managing your domain going forward:

Accessing Your Domain

If you have an existing Squarespace account:

• Sign in at squarespace.com/login using your regular credentials
• Your domains will appear in your domain panel

For new Squarespace users:

• Go to squarespace.com/login
• Click "Continue with Google"
• Select your Google Domains account email
• If you get an authorization error, request a verification email and create a password

Domain Management Features

Through the Squarespace domain panel, you can manage:

• Billing and renewals
• Contact information
• DNS records
• Name servers and DNSSEC
• Whois privacy

Important Billing Information

• Domain subscriptions auto-renew annually
• Existing multi-year registrations will maintain original renewal dates
• Renewal notifications are sent 15 days in advance
• Starting September 7, 2024, domains renew at standard Squarespace rates
• Previous tax exemptions must be reapplied for with Squarespace

Key Changes & Continuity

• You don't need to purchase additional Squarespace services
• Your domain registration time remains intact
• Domain transfers aren't locked for 60 days
• Google services (Analytics, Search Console, Ads) continue working
• URL and email redirects will continue if using Google's default nameservers

Technical Considerations
