Start the Connection in Squarespace:

1. Open the Domains panel
2. Click "Use your own domain"
3. Enter your domain name and click the arrow
4. Click "Connect Domain"
5. Select "iwantmyname.com" from the dropdown
6. Click "Connect Domain" again and "Continue"
7. Keep the DNS records panel open for reference

Configure IWantMyName:

1. Log in to iwantmyname.com
2. Click "Services" dropdown > "Apps & Services"
3. Search for "Squarespace"
4. Click "Add Squarespace" next to your domain

Authenticate Your Site:

1. Copy the unique verification code from Squarespace's DNS Settings (first line under "Host")
2. Paste the code in IWantMyName's "Unique verification code" field
3. Click "Install Squarespace"

Wait for Connection:

• Allow 24-72 hours for the connection to complete
• Check progress in Squarespace's DNS Settings by clicking "Refresh Records"
• Look for green "Connected" label in the Domains panel

Troubleshooting:

• If you see "Unable to verify domain ownership," use the DNS Checker tool
• Check specific CNAME and A records that need correction
• Wait the full 72 hours before considering it an error

For additional support:

• Consult iwantmyname.com documentation
• Contact IWantMyName support team
• Review Squarespace's domain connection requirements

Note: DNS changes can take up to 72 hours to propagate globally. During this time, you may see temporary error messages, which is normal.
