Renaming a Squarespace domain

Rename your domain within five days, or cancel the domain and register a new one.

Last updated December 12, 2024

You can change your new Squarespace domain name within five days of registration. This involves canceling the domain immediately and replacing it with a new domain name. After five days, your domain name is permanent and can't be renamed.

We measure this five-day grace period to the minute. For example, if you registered a domain at 8:00am on January 1, you can cancel until January 6 at 7:59am.

Before you begin

Step 1 - Cancel the domain immediately

If you purchased the domain within the past five days, you can cancel the domain immediately: 

  1. Open your domains dashboard.
  2. Click the domain you'd like to change.
  3. Click Delete Domain.

After canceling the domain, you'll receive a refund and the domain will no longer point to your site. To learn more about refunds, visit Refund policies.

Note

If you purchased the domain within the past five days and Delete Domain doesn't appear, you might not be able to cancel the domain immediately because:

Step 2 - Register a new domain
