Hey, i am Dionysios from buycompanyname.com.
Today, i will explain how you can connect your GoDaddy domain to your Squarespace store.
Before I start with the presentation , don't forget to like this video and subscribe to
the channel if you enjoy the content.
Ok, le't start with the process.
First your need to login to your godaddy account , just to verify some things.
I will explain later.
I click here up right manage domains and I will choose the domain that I want with the
Squarespace.
I scroll down, manage dns.
It's very important that you are using godaddy default nameservers.
You see how they look they look like and you see that notification here.
If you are not using the default godaddy nameservers, the connect with the Squarespace store will
fail.
So in case you don't use godaddy nameservers, go here click change and go back to the default
ones.
Ok, since now we verified that our domain is using the default nameservers from godaddy,
we go to our Squarespace store.
I have already signed in to Squarespace.
I click here up right, account dashboard, I am choosing the website.
For now I use one subdomain like that.
This is what Squarespace gives you for free.
I see the new menu here I click settings on the left.
I choose the option domains and use a domain that I own.
Copy this domain here and I click continue.
Connect this domain , connect from provider.
I already selected godaddy, you see what are the options here.
It's the same for every domain registrar.
I click connect domain, I see that message, I click connect and the connection was successful.
But it doesn't happen instantly.
I click dns setting and I see that some records are established correctly and some are not.
I can always refresh here.
It will take some time, I can also test the connection.
Of course it will take some time so don't worry.
Let's see, let's refresh again.
Only 1 record and we will be ok.
The site will be connected within 24 hours properly but sometimes can take up to 72 hours.
So, if 72 hours have passed and these records are not green and you can't visit your site
then you can try connect it manually.
Do that, I first need to disconnect the domain.
If 72 hours have passed or for any reason the automatic connection doesn't work then
you can try manually.
First, you will disconnect the domain.Then you will click here, other you will not choose
godaddy.
You will see that message and you will find dns records that you need.
So we go back to godaddy.
We will add the records we need manually.
Copy that for the host section.
I have came, copy those numbers and letters in host section and the required data will
go to points to.
I save the data, I will add a second came.
Let's copy the second came.
In host section I will add the www.I will copy the required data and I will add in points
to, save.
So we added 2 cname.I have to add 4 more a records.
Always for a record we will put that symbol and then the IP.
I copy the second IP .Symbol again in host.
I copy the third IP and lastly I copy the fourth IP.
So, everything is set up . You can see here how it looks like in the end when you have
added all the record.But again even with the manual process , you need to wait some hours.
Usually within 24 hours and in rare cases it can take up to 72 hours.
Leave a comment below if something is unclear so i can help you.
