Begin in the Domains menu by clicking Use a Domain I Own and entering your full domain name. Click Connect Domain, select Enom from the dropdown, and click Connect Domain again.

Log into your Enom account at www.enom.com. Navigate to Registered in the Domains section, then click Host Records.

Add First CNAME Record:

• Select CNAME (Alias) as Record Type

• Enter verify.squarespace.com in Address field

Add Second CNAME Record:

• Enter www in Hostname field
• Select CNAME (Alias) as Record Type

Add Four A Records: Set up four separate A records pointing to these IP addresses:

• 198.185.159.145
• 198.49.23.144

Important Notes:

• Keep Mail/Email host records to maintain email service
• Delete any blank host records
• Only remove @ host if it doesn't match this guide

Wait 24-72 hours for the connection to complete. Monitor progress by clicking Refresh Records in Squarespace DNS settings. Green labels indicate successful connection.

Troubleshooting:

• Use the DNS records checker tool if domain ownership cannot be verified
• Contact Enom support for account-specific issues
• Allow full 72 hours before troubleshooting connection issues

Remember: Email-related DNS records should be preserved to maintain email functionality. The connection process may take up to 72 hours to fully propagate.
