Copy the account-specific records
Keep Squarespace DNS Settings open. Copy its verification CNAME and every current website A and CNAME value exactly; do not rely on values from an old tutorial.
Update only the website records
Remove only root or www records that conflict with the values Squarespace currently displays. Leave mail and unrelated service records intact.Manage SaaSTech DNS recordsExternal · opens new tab ↗
Verify the connection
Return to Squarespace, refresh the DNS check, and test the root domain, www, SSL, and external email. Squarespace says connection can take 24 to 48 hours.
