We offer the best of Google Domains features. We support all DNS record types, custom nameservers, domain forwarding, email forwarding, DNSSEC, glue records, and more.

Question 4

Does Squarespace support all languages and currencies that Google Domains supported?

Accepted Answer

Does Squarespace support all languages and currencies that Google Domains supported?

Squarespace supports most of the languages and currencies that Google Domains supported.

If we support the language setting you used for Google Domains, it will be reflected in Squarespace Domains. If you use an unsupported language, Squarespace Domains will default to English. Review the list of supported languages here.

Squarespace does not support payment for domains or other products/services via Indian Rupee (INR). If you were paying for your Google domain with INR, you need to update your billing information in your Squarespace account. Learn more about our accepted payment methods and currencies.

Question 8

Will the cost of my domain change now that I have joined Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Can I get an email with my domain name?

Accepted Answer

You can also use another email provider of your choice, many of which will connect to your domain with one click. We also offer free email forwarding with every Squarespace Domain — create up to 100 email forwarding addresses at no extra cost.

Question 10

What TLDs are available on Squarespace?

Squarespace is home to more than 400 TLDs. You can find out which TLDs are currently available for your preferred domain name through our domain name search page. Or you can learn which domain endings are available for purchase by visiting our Domain TLD list.

Question 13

Can I move my website to Squarespace if my domain is moving?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can move your website to Squarespace or have an expert do it for you. Import website content from your old website, style the site, and select a website plan in order to move your website over. Learn more in Move an existing site to Squarespace.

Question 14

Can I get additional domains through Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can get additional domains using our domain name search tool. Learn more in Registering Squarespace domains.

Question 15

Do I have domain or WHOIS privacy with Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you do. Because Whois records are public, spam marketers often crawl them for email addresses. Many domain registrars offer services called "domain privacy," "Whois protection," or “private registration” that remove your personal contact information from the Whois record. Squarespace automatically includes this free domain privacy for all Squarespace-managed domains except for some country-code TLDs.

Question 16

Can I move my domain between Squarespace sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can move a custom domain from one Squarespace site to another. Learn more in Moving a domain to another Squarespace site.

Question 17

Why did my domain’s connection to my site break?

Accepted Answer

If your domain used a verification record to point to a non-Squarespace website, you may need to add a new verification record to your domain. Failing to re-verify after your domain moves to Squarespace may break your domain’s connection to your site. To learn more, visit About the Google Domains migration to Squarespace.
