Rename your Squarespace domain within five days of registration by canceling it and registering a new one. After this grace period, your domain name becomes permanent.

Important Notes:

• The 5-day grace period is counted by minutes (e.g., registered at 8 AM on January 1, cancellable until 7:59 AM on January 6)
• Most country code domains (ccTLDs) like .com.au or .de don't have a grace period or refund option
• You cannot remove a primary domain without setting another domain as primary first

How to Change Your Domain Name:

1. Cancel the Current Domain (Within 5 Days):

• Open domain control panel
• Select the domain
• Click "Delete domain"
• You'll receive a refund after cancellation

2. Register a New Domain:

• Go to the domains panel
• Complete the new domain registration process

Exceptions:

• ccTLD domains: No cancellation period available (can only disable auto-renewal)
• Reseller domains: Must be cancelled through the reseller account (e.g., Google Workspace)
• Primary domains: Set another domain as primary before removing

After five days, while you can't rename the domain, you can still change your primary domain to maintain your online presence.
