How to Purchase a New Domain Name on Squarespace

Basics

29 May

Acquiring a unique and memorable domain name that aligns with your business is a crucial first step towards establishing a successful online presence.

Not only does it help enhance your brand recognition, but it also aids your website in ranking on search engines.

Squarespace makes this process straightforward by allowing you to purchase a new domain directly within its platform. In this blog post, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to purchase a new domain on Squarespace.

Step 1: Access the Settings

Begin by logging into your Squarespace account and navigating to 'Settings'. Here, you'll find all the options necessary for website customization and administration.

Step 2: Navigate to Domains

Within the settings menu, locate and click on 'Domains'. This will bring up a page displaying your built-in domain and any other domain names associated with your Squarespace account.

Step 3: Choose to Get a New Domain

In the domain settings, you'll notice two options – 'Get a new domain' and 'Use an existing domain'. Since we're focusing on acquiring a new domain, click on the 'Get a new domain' button.

Step 4: Search for Available Domain Names

Squarespace will now provide you with domain name recommendations, prioritizing certain domain prefixes based on your location. In our case, as we're based in the UK, UK-centric domain prefixes are prioritized. You can search for a domain name that suits your business or brand. For instance, we're looking for a domain name for a fictional company from our PixelHaze store.

Step 5: Add the Chosen Domain to the Cart

Once you've found an available domain that suits your needs, click on it. The chosen domain name will then be added to your cart, and you can proceed to the checkout.

Step 6: Provide Registrar Information

You will now need to provide information for the registrar, including your personal and business details.

Step 7: Complete the Purchase

After entering all the necessary details, click on 'Save and Continue', and proceed to finalize your purchase.

One of the benefits of purchasing your domain name directly within Squarespace is the seamless integration it offers. The domain will automatically link to your website and auto-renew by default with your Squarespace plan annually. Plus, having your domain name and website plan in one place simplifies managing renewals and changing settings. An added advantage is that Squarespace offers a free domain registration for the first year with any plan above the personal tier.

Congratulations! You've now secured your unique domain name through Squarespace. It's time to make the most of your online presence with your brand-new domain!
