Yes, you can switch your domain from Squarespace to Webflow by updating your domain's DNS settings to point to Webflow's servers. You don’t need to transfer the domain registration—just update the DNS records.
1. Point Your Domain to Webflow
- Go to Webflow: In your Webflow project, click Project Settings > Hosting tab.
- Add Your Custom Domain: Enter your domain (e.g., yourdomain.com) under Custom Domains.
- Webflow will show you the required DNS records, which typically include:
- A Records: (a) 75.2.70.75, (b) 99.83.190.102
- CNAME Record: For the www version, point it to proxy-ssl.webflow.com
- Important: Do not add multiple CNAME records for the same subdomain; Webflow only supports one.
2. Update DNS in Squarespace (or Registrar)
- If your domain is registered through Squarespace:
- Go to your Squarespace account > Domains section.
- Locate your domain and click DNS Settings.
- Update A Records and CNAME Record to match Webflow’s instructions.
- If your domain is registered elsewhere (e.g., GoDaddy, Google Domains), log in to that registrar and make the same DNS changes.
3. Remove SSL and Redirects from Squarespace
- Disable any SSL settings or URL forwarding in Squarespace that could conflict with Webflow.
- If possible, remove the custom domain from your Squarespace site to avoid domain verification issues.
4. Publish Your Site on Webflow
- Return to Webflow and click Publish to your connected domain.
- Allow up to 48 hours for DNS changes to fully propagate, though it's often faster.
Summary
To switch your domain from Squarespace to Webflow, update your domain’s DNS settings by pointing the A and CNAME records to Webflow’s servers. There's no need to transfer the domain registration—just update DNS through your registrar or Squarespace’s DNS panel.
