7. Click Save

DNS Connect Method (For custom DNS records):

1. Sign in to your Network Solutions account
2. Open Domains panel in Squarespace
3. Click "Use a domain I own"
4. Enter your domain name
5. Select "No, use DNS records"
6. Choose Network Solutions from dropdown
7. Follow prompts to complete connection

Important Notes:

• Connection takes 24-72 hours to complete

Troubleshooting Tips:

If you encounter errors:

1. Reset nameservers to Network Solutions defaults
2. Disconnect domain from Squarespace
3. Reconnect manually following above steps
4. Use DNS record verification tool if ownership verification fails

Remember to keep default nameservers intact when starting the connection process to avoid errors. Contact Network Solutions support for account-specific issues.
