How do I connect if I've already bought the Domain Name from Squarespace before I made the Squarespace website?

@meetdavidalex Жыл бұрын

Hi Sandy! This should help - support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205812098 - you will need to disconnect it from one site and then connect it to the new site!

Hi David great video mate very clear and easy to understand. I do have 1 question and I apologize if someone has already asked but to be able to connect multiple domains to Squarespace do you need to purchase a higher Plan or does it work on any plan?

@meetdavidalex 7 ай бұрын

Awesome. Nope! You can connect as many domains as you want. You will set one as PRIMARY but you can connect up to as many as you want. I currently have about 7 for Launch Happy :)

Hi David, am I able to connect a domain that is on GoDaddy that was previously connected (not transferred) to Wix? I have a client who's old website is on Wix and the domain is connected from GoDaddy to Wix, and I'm working on their new website on Squarespace and wondering what specific steps I need to take to connect to SS. Will connecting to SS override the connection to Wix or do I also need to delete DNS records or take some other steps to direct traffic to the SS site and shut down the old Wix site?

Hi! I'm currently in the same boat. Did you find a solution/best practice for this?

@AnnieSolemBrand 7 ай бұрын

@@BrittanyAnania Hi Brittany! Because my client's email was connected through Wix, I took the SS A Records and C Name Records and plugged them into the Wix DNS records, and I kept the nameserver pointing to wix from GoDaddy. That way I didn't mess up their email, but the domain was now connecting to SS instead of Wix. A little odd because all their DNS records are in Wix, but this is what SS's customer support recommended, and it worked out fine for my client.

Hey David I have an emergency question. My client has a website and they don’t want to change domains. What will happen to the other site if I connect it to squarespace? Anything? They don’t want the other site anymore, but they want to keep their domain

Thanks David! This is so helpful. Love all your videos. What happens to emails hosted on GoDaddy if I Connect a domain from GoDaddy over to my Squarespace account?

@meetdavidalex Жыл бұрын

Yeah, if you connect the domain to your squarespace site, email will still work fine. just be sure of two things: you are connecting, not transfering. And that you are connecting dns records, not nameservers. Sounds confusing but keep those in mind and everything can work quickly. (more info: You can transfer the domain or use nameservers, it just complicates the process!)

@AnnieSolemBrand Жыл бұрын

@@meetdavidalex Thank you so much for the reply! Shoot, I connected with namesavers. I don't have an email under that domain thought, it's through a different domain in my godaddy account. Is that okay then? I followed the prompts in SS and it had me update the namesavers.

@meetdavidalex Жыл бұрын

Not a big deal! Just google ensure that whoever provides email for you (godaddy, i believe in this instance), has their MX records on the backend of your squarespace website. :) And you can know it's working if you finished connecting the domain, send an email and it works! so give it a try and let me know :)
