If we weren't able to complete your domain registration, the Domains panel will show a Registration Failed note with a red label. You'll also receive an email from no-reply@squarespace.com explaining what went wrong. In most cases, domain registrations fail because of a billing error or if the domain doesn't meet our naming requirements.

In the first line of your Squarespace DNS Settings, copy the unique code that appears directly below the Host column. The unique code is a random string of numbers and letters that must point to verify.squarespace.com.

Depending on your provider, you may already have a CNAME set up with a www Alias. If so, edit this existing CNAME so that Points To is ext-cust.squarespace.com. (For most providers, add this without the last ".")

However, if the domain is deleted, will that mean I might not be able to register it elsewhere, like through squarespace or godaddy? Would it be best to wait the 60 days to transfer it to another registrar and use a different domain in the meantime?

My squarespace had two link structures. Domainname.com/blog/post-name for my recipes. The older ones also had the date in them. And I also have Domainname.com/tipsadvice/post-title for my lifestyle posts. How do I ensure that none of the links get broken in the move if I can only put one link structure in WP?

My site is image heavy, and it may take a few days for me to follow all the steps. I have my own domain (www.mywebsite.com) which I will be moving over. My concern is that once I start the process, my site will not work until I have it up on WordPress. I would want my domain to go to my squarespace site until I am ready to move over.

In squarespace my site is unlocked, and I received the authorization code which I entered in Shopify. Everytime I do this I receive a transfer fail notice - with no reason as to why it failed. I am outside of the 60 day window, so I know that is not the problem. Before the 60 days, I had my site pointing to Shopify, so I deleted all of that and deleted the DNS entires, still no luck.

I have recently de-activated my Squarespace commerce site, and are now moving completely over to using Etsy. I wuld like to transfer the domain I purchased on Squarespace to my Etsy shop. Does anyone know how to do this?I have already unlocked the domain in squarespace, and have the authentication code that I am supposed to send/transfer to my new provider, but I cannot find instructions on Etsy on how to send this over. 041b061a72
