To link a Squarespace domain to a Squarespace website while maintaining separate billing settings, follow these guidelines:

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Domain must be currently parked
  • Domain and website must be in the same Squarespace account
  • You need administrator rights to the website
  • You need domain manager access for the domain

Connect Your Domain:

  1. Open domain dashboard
  2. Select your domain
  3. Click "Website"
  4. Choose "Connect Existing Website"
  5. Select target website
  6. Click "Next" then "Confirm"

Change Domain Connection:

  1. Navigate to domain dashboard
  2. Click your domain
  3. Select "Website"
  4. Choose "Change Connection"
  5. Pick new website
  6. Confirm changes

Disconnect Domain:

  1. Access domain dashboard
  2. Select domain
  3. Click "Website"
  4. Choose "Change Connection"
  5. Select "Park This Domain"
  6. Complete confirmation

Important Notes:

  • Can't connect domain to specific website pages (use forwarding instead)
  • To reconnect after third-party service use, remove external entries and add Squarespace preset settings
  • Subdomains are treated as third-party domains, requiring DNS records
  • Separate billing and permissions remain independent

Access Requirements:

  • For website access: Request administrator editor rights
  • For domain access: Request domain manager permissions

To enable different options for managing your domain, consider:

  • Moving the domain (for unified billing/permissions)
  • Domain transfer
  • DNS records modification
  • Nameserver adjustments
