To change your Squarespace domain name, you have two options depending on timing:

Within First 5 Days:

1. Open your domains panel
2. Click the domain you want to cancel
3. Select "Delete domain"
4. Register a new domain through your domains panel
5. You'll receive a refund for the canceled domain

After 5 Days:

• Domain name becomes permanent
• Set a different domain as your primary domain instead
• The original domain cannot be changed or refunded

Important Notes:

• The 5-day grace period is measured to the minute
• Country code domains (like .co.uk or .de) don't have a grace period
• Primary domains can't be deleted until you set a new primary domain
• Domains purchased through resellers must be canceled through the reseller's account

For ccTLD Domains:

• No refund or grace period available
• Can only disable auto-renewal
• Must follow specific rules for that domain type

Keep in Mind:

• Canceling a domain stops it from pointing to your site
• Have a new domain ready before canceling the old one
• Update your SEO settings after changing domains
• Ensure your site remains accessible throughout the process

This process helps maintain your online presence while transitioning to a new domain name.
