How to Change Domain Name in Squarespace, Add New Website URL Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Whether you're rebranding or just picking a better web address, changing the domain pointed at your Squarespace site is a straightforward process. This guide covers both buying a new domain through Squarespace and connecting one you already own from another registrar.
01Log in to Squarespace
Sign in to your account, using Google, a work email, or Apple/Facebook via More Options if you're setting up new.
02Open Domains and Email
From your dashboard's left panel, click Settings, then hover over Domains and Email to see your options.
03Register a new domain or use an existing one
Click Get a Domain to search and purchase one through Squarespace, or enter a domain you already own to check availability and connect it.
04Point the domain to Squarespace
Once your domain is added, change it to point to your Squarespace site so it becomes your site's live web address.
05Check the SSL and domain details
Click on the connected domain to view details including SSL certificate status, then confirm it's set as your site's primary domain.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a domain I already bought elsewhere?
Yes, you can enter your existing domain and connect it to point to your Squarespace site instead of buying a new one.
How much does a domain cost through Squarespace?
Prices vary by domain and extension, so check availability and pricing when you search for the one you want.
Will my SSL certificate update automatically with a new domain?
Squarespace manages SSL for connected domains, and you can check its status from the domain details page.
Does changing my domain affect my existing site content?
No, changing the domain only affects the web address pointing to your site — your pages and design stay the same.
