Connect a domain while maintaining separate billing through these simple steps:

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Domain must be parked (not attached to another site)
  • Domain and website must be in the same Squarespace account
  • Admin permissions required for both domain and website
  • Cannot connect to specific pages (only full sites)

Connect Your Domain:

  1. Navigate to Domains dashboard
  2. Select your domain
  3. Click Website
  4. Choose "Connect an existing website"
  5. Select target site
  6. Click Next, then Confirm

Modify Domain Connection:

  1. Open Domains dashboard
  2. Click your domain
  3. Select Website
  4. Choose "Change connection"
  5. Pick new site
  6. Confirm changes

Remove Domain Connection:

  1. Access Domains dashboard
  2. Select domain
  3. Click Website
  4. Choose "Change connection"
  5. Select "Park this domain"
  6. Confirm removal

Important Notes:

  • For subdomains: Squarespace treats them as third-party domains requiring DNS records
  • When reconnecting after third-party service: Remove all external records first
  • Domain managers need proper permissions for both domain and site access
  • Cannot connect directly to individual pages (but can redirect)

This process keeps domain billing and authorization separate from website settings while maintaining proper connectivity.
