Quickly connect your Turbify domain to Squarespace by following these essential steps:

Prerequisites:

  • Verify domain compatibility with Squarespace's third-party domain requirements
  • Ensure your Turbify plan is domain-only (not hosting)

Step 1: Initialize Connection in Squarespace

  1. Go to Domains panel
  2. Click "Use a domain I own"
  3. Enter your domain name
  4. Select Turbify from providers
  5. Click Connect domain
  6. Keep the DNS Settings panel open for reference

Step 2: Access Turbify Settings

  1. Log in to your Turbify account
  2. Locate your domain
  3. Click "Domain" in Control Panels

Step 3: Add First CNAME Record

  • Host: [unique code from Squarespace]
  • Type: CNAME
  • Points to: verify.squarespace.com

Step 4: Add Second CNAME Record

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

Step 5: Add A Record

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

Important Notes:

  • Connection takes 24-72 hours to complete
  • Keep existing Mail/Email records
  • Monitor connection status in Squarespace's DNS settings
  • Green checkmarks indicate successful connection

Troubleshooting:

  • Use DNS record verification tool if "Unable to verify domain ownership" appears
  • Wait 72 hours before troubleshooting connection issues
  • Contact Turbify support for account-specific questions

The domain will show as "Connected" in your Domains panel once properly linked.
