Answers to common questions about moving your Squarespace domain.

To ensure a smooth transition, review these key details about settings, transfers, and limitations before you move your Squarespace domain to another site.

Will my billing and permissions settings change when I move my domain?

After you move your domain, it will share its billing and permission settings with the website it moved to. If your domain isn't currently attached to a website, you can connect the domain instead, which keeps the domain's billing and permission settings separate from the website.

If you disable your domain's auto-renew, it will remain disabled even after you move the domain to a new site. The domain will expire while connected to the new site unless you turn auto-renew back on.

What doesn't transfer to the new site?

You can't transfer:

Tip: To keep a record of older invoices, download them before moving the domain.

Can I move the domain to a site that I pay for using a different currency?

Yes. After the move, the domain’s subscription price updates to the new site’s currency.

Can I move a free domain?

Yes. You can move a free domain to a different site, which is different than moving a free legacy domain. Keep in mind:

  • If the site you're moving your free domain to is on a monthly plan or already has a free domain, we’ll create a $0 invoice for the domain on its new site.
  • If you move a paid domain to a site on an annual plan, we won't adjust your balance for the domain you already purchased. However, you can register a new Squarespace domain for free.
  • If you move a paid domain to an annual site, you won't get a refund for the domain's remaining time, but you’ll unlock your one-year free domain credit on the new site.

What if I have a Google Workspace subscription attached to my domain?

If you have a Google Workspace subscription attached to your domain, ensure the subscription is active so that it moves automatically. If the subscription is past due, reactivate it before moving your domain.

What if I have an Essential Email by Titan subscription attached to my domain?

If you have an Essential Email subscription attached to your domain, you can’t move your domain to another site. However, you can connect your domain instead.
