If you have a website hosted on Squarespace and you want to transfer your domain to GoDaddy, the process is relatively straightforward. In this article, I will walk you through the steps involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before we begin, it is important to note that transferring a domain can take several days to complete, and your website may be unavailable during this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also important to carefully follow the instructions provided by both Squarespace and GoDaddy to ensure a smooth and successful transfer. With that said, let’s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you transfer your Squarespace domain to GoDaddy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yes, you can. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To do this, you will need to obtain an authorization code from Squarespace, then use it to initiate the transfer at GoDaddy. I’ll discuss this process more as you read further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow these next steps to transfer your Squarespace domain to GoDaddy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Log in to your Squarespace account.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to the Domains page and click on the domain you’d like to transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the Transfer Domain page, click Start Transfer Out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Open a GoDaddy account if needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don’t already have an account with GoDaddy, you’ll need to create one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simply go to GoDaddy.com and click Sign up in the top right corner of the page. Enter your contact information, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete your account setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Initiate domain transfer in GoDaddy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once logged in to your GoDaddy account, select the “Transfer” option from the Domains menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enter your domain name in the search bar and click the arrow icon to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll need to enter your Squarespace Domain Authorization Code on the next page before completing checkout. You can find this code on Squarespace’s Transfer Out page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Authorize transfer with Squarespace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve initiated the transfer in GoDaddy, you’ll need to approve it from your Squarespace domain page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Log back into your Squarespace account and go to the Domains page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click on the domain that’s being transferred and click Approve Transfer on the domain page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Check the transfer status.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve completed Steps 1 – 4, GoDaddy will transfer your domain from Squarespace to their servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can check the status of your GoDaddy account by navigating to Transfer Status under Domains in the main menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The process typically takes up to 7 days, depending on your domain extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once completed, you’re all set. Your Squarespace domain is now successfully transferred to GoDaddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Can you keep your domain name if you leave Squarespace?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
