Squarespace domain cancellation options depend on when you registered your domain. You can either cancel for a full refund within five days of registration or disable automatic renewal for older domains.

Before Canceling Your Domain

• Check if you have customized email services (disruption will occur upon cancellation)
• Set a new primary domain for your website if needed
• Consider domain billing implications
• Note that parked domain pages will be removed if it's your only domain

Canceling Within 5 Days

1. Go to Domains dashboard
2. Select your domain
3. Click "Delete Domain"
4. Confirm deletion

Note: If "Delete Domain" isn't visible, your domain either:

• Is past the 5-day cooling period
• Is a country code domain (ccTLD)
• Was registered through a reseller

Disabling Automatic Renewal (After 5 Days)

1. Access Domains dashboard
2. Select your domain
3. Toggle off "Automatic Renewal"

Disconnecting Your Domain (Optional)

To stop domain redirection:

1. Open DNS settings
2. Delete Squarespace Default Settings
3. Remove any records with www, * or @ in Host column

Important Notes:

• Domain disconnection takes 1-72 hours
• Full refunds only available within 5 days of registration
• Cancelled domains may be available for re-registration after 1-3 days
• Free domains can be registered again after cancellation
• DNS changes may take up to 72 hours to propagate
