We’re proud to announce that after the acquisition of the Google Domains business last year, Squarespace has successfully completed the migration of millions of domains. We worked closely with the Google team to make the migration as seamless as possible, and expanded Squarespace Domains to provide an upgraded, industry-leading service, for all customers. Beyond the migration, we’ve deepened our long-standing partnership with Google by integrating services like Cloud DNS into our Domains offering and continuing to offer private, professional email from Google Workspace. We remain committed to providing all customers, both migrated and new, with a completely independent registrar experience for hosting domains, regardless of whether they use other Squarespace services. 

Since launching Squarespace Domains eight years ago, we’ve become one of the leading global domain registrars, and we’re continuing to invest in building our best-in-class platform. Over the last year, we’ve made significant updates, including a redesigned Domains dashboard, that makes it easier for users to manage their domain. In addition to our updated feature offerings, we’ve also added more than 100 top-level domains (TLDs) this year. From in-demand technology domains like .dev and .ai, to our newest TLD .music for music professionals, we now offer over 360+ TLDs that support a variety of distinctive fields and industries. 

Migrated customers can continue to enjoy the premium service they’ve come to expect, with a full suite of tools included in every Squarespace Domain, at no extra cost:

• Premium DNS powered by industry leading services, like Google Cloud DNS, provides secure and reliable connection and ensures domains always stay online.

• End-to-end encryption protects and authenticates domains with DNS security extensions (DNSSEC).

• A free SSL/TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt secures and safeguards website connections to protect from hackers and guarantee a trusted experience for website visitors.

• Email forwarding capabilities allow users to create up to 100 email forwarding addresses that match their custom domain name. 

• Domain forwarding capabilities allow users to forward domains to a preferred destination, including social media pages or Bio Sites.

• Free WHOIS privacy keeps personal information private and protects users from unwanted spam. 

• Spam-free parking pages are clean, professional-looking parking pages for domains, free of ads.

• Two Factor Authentication protects access to domains at the account level and is a standard security offer with any Squarespace account.

With Squarespace, buying a domain name is a simple first step toward getting an idea off the ground. Plus, Squarespace provides all the tools and services customers need to take the next steps in building their brand. Whether that means building a website, adding professional email, integrating Acuity scheduling, or simply expanding their reach on social media with a Bio Site. Squarespace is committed to making it easier than ever to get online, invest in a dream, and make it real, all in one place.
