Begin by reviewing the requirements for connecting a third-party domain to your site. If your Turbify subscription includes hosting, you may need to switch to a domain-only subscription first.

Connect your Turbify domain in 6 simple steps:

Step 1: Start the Squarespace Connection

• Open the Domains panel
• Click "I already have a domain"
• Enter your domain name and click the arrow
• Select Turbify from the dropdown menu
• Click "Connect Domain" and "Continue"
• Keep the DNS Settings panel open for reference

Step 2: Access Your Turbify Account

• Log in to Turbify
• Locate your domain under the Domains section
• Click "Domain" under Control Panel

Step 3: Add First CNAME Record

• Host: Use the unique code from Squarespace
• Type: CNAME
• Points to: verify.squarespace.com

Step 4: Add Second CNAME Record

• Host: * (asterisk)
• Type: CNAME
• Points to: ext-cust.squarespace.com

Step 5: Add A Record

• Host: @
• Type: A
• Points to: 198.185.159.144

Important Notes:

• Do not remove Mail or email records
• Only remove records that don't match this guide
• Keep email-related records to maintain email service

Step 6: Wait for Connection

• Allow 24-72 hours for full connection
• Monitor progress in Squarespace DNS settings
• Click "Refresh Records" to check status
• Look for green labels indicating successful connection

Troubleshooting:

• Use the DNS checker tool if you see "Unable to verify domain ownership"
• Contact Turbify support for account-specific issues
• Consult Squarespace's troubleshooting guide if problems persist after 72 hours
