If you're outgrowing Squarespace's design constraints, moving your domain to WordPress gives you more control through themes, plugins, and custom code. This guide covers the steps on both the Squarespace and WordPress side to get your domain connected.
01Set up your WordPress account
Log in to WordPress, or create an account if you're new, so you have a destination ready for the domain.
02Review your domain in Squarespace
In your Squarespace dashboard, click the gear icon, go to Domains & Email, then Domains to see your current domain setup.
03Locate or register the domain
If the domain is already registered with Squarespace, select it and proceed to checkout to confirm ownership details and registration term.
04Follow the transfer prompts
After saving, you'll be directed to the registration page — follow the on-screen instructions to move the domain toward WordPress.
05Get support if needed
Contact Squarespace support or check WordPress.com's guidance if you hit issues connecting or transferring the domain.
