Is it possible to switch my domain from Squarespace to Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Unlock your domain in Squarespace, then access Webflow’s hosting settings to get the required DNS records.  
  • Replace existing A and CNAME records in Squarespace with Webflow’s, add your domain in Webflow, and enable SSL and the “www” default.

Yes, you can switch your domain from Squarespace to Webflow by updating your domain’s DNS settings to point to Webflow hosting.

​

1. Unlock and Access Your Domain Settings on Squarespace  

  • Go to Squarespace Settings > Domains if your domain is registered through Squarespace.  
  • Unlock the domain, and disable WHOIS privacy if you're transferring the domain registration entirely.  
  • Otherwise, if you're only connecting the domain to Webflow, you don't need to transfer—just update DNS records.

​

2. Locate Webflow DNS Settings  

  • In Webflow, go to Project Settings > Hosting.  
  • Scroll down to the Custom Domains section to find the required A and CNAME records.  
  • Webflow typically requires two A records: (a) 75.2.70.75, (b) 99.83.190.102, and one CNAME record pointing “www” to proxy-ssl.webflow.com.

​

3. Update DNS Records in Squarespace  

  • In Squarespace’s DNS panel, delete any existing A records or CNAMEs for the root (non-www) and www subdomain.  
  • Add the A records and CNAME record from Webflow.  
  • Make sure to save all changes.

​

4. Add Your Domain in Webflow  

  • In Webflow, still under Project Settings > Hosting, enter your custom domain (e.g., yourdomain.com).  
  • Webflow will show connection statuses. Once DNS propagates (can take up to 48 hours), statuses should turn green.

​

5. Set Default Domain and SSL  

  • In Webflow, set the “www” domain as default (recommended for SEO redirect consistency).  
  • Make sure SSL is enabled under the Hosting tab.

​

Summary  

Yes, you can move your domain from Squarespace to Webflow by updating your domain’s DNS records to point to Webflow's servers. Webflow provides the exact records you need; just update them in your Squarespace domain settings. No need to transfer registration unless desired.
