Removing the “www” from your domain

Last updated April 29, 2025 21:06

A domain without the “www” is called a naked domain.

You can remove “www” from your domain in the Domains panel.

By default, all Squarespace domains come with the “www” domain and naked domain automatically linked. If visitors type “yourdomain.com” into the address bar, the URL automatically updates to “www.yourdomain.com” when they land on your site. If you don't want “www” to appear at all, this guide shows how to remove it.

Note: You can only remove “www” on domains pointing to a Squarespace site.

Tip: Google Chrome automatically hides “www” from your domain.

Remove the “www prefix

To remove “www” from a domain:

1. Open the Domains panel.
2. Switch the Use “www” prefix toggle off.

Wait for the change

Changes made to a Squarespace domain or a third-party domain's “www” setting can take between 24 and 48 hours to process. When the process completes, your naked domain will appear in the address bar whenever someone visits your site.
