# Connect a custom domain from Squarespace (Google Domains)

Google Domains moved to Squarespace, so domains bought there are managed in Squarespace now. The record goes in your domain's DNS settings.

## Steps

1. Go to **account.squarespace.com/domains** and sign in (use your old Google Domains login if your domains were moved over).
2. On the **Domains** dashboard, click the name of the domain you want to connect.
3. In the left-hand menu, click **DNS**, then **DNS Settings**.
4. Scroll down to the **Custom Records** section and click **Add Record**.
5. If asked, re-enter your password (or finish two-factor) and click **Continue** to confirm it is you.
6. Open the **Type** dropdown and choose the type Droply shows you (for example **CNAME** or **TXT**).
7. In the **Host** field enter the label from Droply, and in the **Data** field paste the target Droply shows you (the one above).
8. Click **Save**, then repeat **Add Record** for any second record Droply shows.

## Notes

- The **Host** field takes only the label. For `www.yourdomain.com`, type just `www`; Squarespace adds your domain automatically.
- Squarespace does not allow `@` in the **Host** field for a CNAME, so you cannot point your bare root domain with a CNAME. Use the subdomain Droply provides (commonly `www`).
- Each custom record uses a default **TTL** of 4 hours; leave it as-is unless told otherwise.
- If Droply shows two records, add each one separately and enter each Host/Data pair exactly.
- DNS changes are not instant: typically a few minutes to a few hours, occasionally up to **24-48 hours**.
