Wait 24-72 hours for the connection to complete. You can check progress by:

  • Going to DNS Settings in Squarespace
  • Clicking "Update Records"
  • Looking for green labels in the Current Data column

The domain is connected when it shows a "Connected" label in the Domains panel.

Note: Errors are common for up to 72 hours after setup. If errors persist beyond that, check Squarespace's troubleshooting guide or contact Hover support.

The domain will remain registered with Hover while connecting to your Squarespace site.
