Adding years to your domain registration

Last updated October 06, 2026 22:19

Extend the registration of a domain you already own.

If you already have a registered domain with Squarespace, you can extend your domain registration term by purchasing more years. When you purchase future registration years, you lock in the current price. This means potential price changes won’t affect your domain during your registration term. Follow the steps in this guide to extend your domain registration by purchasing future years.

You can also purchase a multi-year registration during checkout when you first register your domain. To extend the registration period for a domain registered with a third party, contact your domain provider.

Note: Learn more about the domain renewal process, and what to do if your domain expires.

Before you begin

  • You can’t cancel a domain registration extension, and we can't offer refunds for extensions.
  • You can’t add registration years if you use SEPA as a payment method. To add years, you need to change your payment method.
  • You can’t exceed the maximum term allowed by the TLD’s registry. For example, if you have a .com domain, you can register it for a maximum of 10 years. If you registered it for four years when you bought it, you can only extend the registration by six years at most.
  • If you’re transferring a domain to Squarespace, you can’t add registration years during the transfer process. After the transfer is complete, follow the steps below to add years.
  • Some ccTLDs may have restrictions around when you can add years to your registration. To learn more, visit ccTLD basics.
