A site visitor needs to be redirected to another URL. Here's how to set up domain redirection in Squarespace:

Basic URL Redirection Steps:

1. Open the domains panel
2. Click the domain you want to edit
3. Select Website
4. Scroll to "URL redirect rules" and click "Add rule"
5. Enter redirect details:
   • Redirect from: Use @ for main domain or enter subdomain
   • Redirect to: Enter full destination URL
6. Configure advanced settings:
   • Choose 301 (permanent) or 302 (temporary) redirect
   • Keep SSL enabled
   • Select path redirection preferences
7. Click Save

Types of Redirects Available:

• Main domain redirect (example.com → newsite.com)
• Subdomain redirect (blog.example.com → newsite.com/blog)
• Specific page redirect (example.com → newsite.com/specific-page)

For Custom Name Servers:

1. Add required DNS records (CNAME and A records)
2. Remove existing A/AAAA records with @ host
3. Configure redirect rules as above

Important Notes:

• Redirects can take up to 72 hours to update
• Clear browser cache if redirect doesn't work immediately
• SSL should remain enabled for security
• Path redirection maintains URL structure when redirecting
• Cannot edit DNS records while redirect is active
• www version automatically redirects with main domain

Troubleshooting:

• Use private browsing to test redirects
• Check for URL typos
• Verify no conflicting DNS records
• Remove and re-add redirects if issues persist
