How To Connect A Namecheap Domain To Squarespace
No matter how many times I try to connect a domain name I purchased at Namecheap to Squarespace, every time I forget how to do it.
If you’d rather just follow an article, here is a great one Squarespace provides, but I know sometimes it is just easier to follow a video tutorial. Don’t worry friend, I’ve got you!
Something to note: This is assuming you want to KEEP your domain name through Namecheap and not fully transfer it over to Squarespace to be managed in Squarespace (Squarespace recommends transferring it over just connecting it because then everything is done in their platform).
Check out the video tutorial to learn how it is done!

Here is how you can use a forwarding preset to direct visitors to the page.

Hey, I'm Bekah! Web designer, Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, marathon runner, and mama of two. I built Rebekah Read Creative in 2018 after leaving corporate America, and I've spent the years since helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs stop cringing at their websites and start getting found on Google.
I'm the kind of person who overshares, processes out loud, and goes all in on whatever has my heart, whether that's running a 50k or building someone's website in a single day. Quality coffee and real conversations are basically my love language.
If you're here, you're probably tired of the Instagram hustle and ready for a website that actually works for you. You're in the right place.
