How do I transfer my domain to Squarespace?

Transferring a domain to Squarespace involves a series of steps that will allow you to manage your domain and website in one place. First, it is important to verify that your domain is eligible for transfer. Generally, domains marked private or recently registered may not be eligible for transfer. Once you confirm that your domain is eligible, the first step is to unlock the domain at your current registrar. This is typically done through their control panel. Next, you will need to obtain the authorization code, often referred to as an EPP code, from your current registrar. This code is crucial for completing the transfer. After unlocking the domain and acquiring the authorization code, you can navigate to the Squarespace website and access the Domains section of your account. Here, you can select the option to transfer a domain. Input your domain name and follow the prompts, which will include entering your authorization code. After you submit the transfer request, it may take a few days to finalize the process. Be aware that you will receive confirmation emails during this time. It is also wise to check the help section on the Squarespace website for any specific requirements or additional details that may be applicable.
