Domain registration with Squarespace includes a free custom domain for the first year with annual billing plans. You can also transfer existing domains or purchase additional ones, with prices starting at $20 per year for common TLDs like .com and .org.

All Squarespace domains include free privacy protection and can be managed through the DNS Settings panel. The platform offers over 200 TLDs, including country-specific options.

Key Features:

• Free domain for first year with annual plans
• Domain transfers take 1-15 days
• Automatic renewal by default
• Free WHOIS privacy protection
• Over 200 TLD options available

Domain Management Options:

• Remove "www" prefix
• Move between Squarespace sites
• Link to external providers
• Transfer to other registrars
• Update ownership and DNS settings

Important Policies:

• 5-day grace period for domain modifications
• 15-day verification requirement
• 30-day grace period for expired domains
• Automatic renewal at $20/year after free period
• Refunds available within 5 days of registration

Domain privacy is automatically included, and you can set up custom email addresses through Google Workspace integration. Multiple domains can be registered to protect your brand and catch common misspellings.

For payment-related issues, Squarespace attempts three charges over 15 days before suspending the domain. After suspension, there's a 30-day grace period for reactivation before the domain is released back to the registrar.

If deleting a Squarespace site, you can either let the domain expire or continue managing it through Squarespace for an annual fee. Domains can also be transferred to other providers if needed.
