Do you create websites at Squarespace for yourself or your customers? It probably didn’t take much to explain why your customer needed to change that awkward Squarespace URL to a custom domain name that represents what they’re all about. As a web professional, you know that having a custom domain attached to their site helps to build unique brand recognition at a glance and ups their credibility factor.

Historically, pointing a GoDaddy domain to a Squarespace website has been like washing your car at home. Making sure you have clean shammies, the right water/soap combination, a handheld vacuum, beer, a hose with a good spray nozzle and, preferably, willing minions to do the work for you. And that’s before you even get started!

Well, I hope you’re ready to recline the driver’s seat and crank up the tunes because, like using a carwash, we now do all the heavy lifting. You can spend the extra time working on fine-tuning the customer’s second revision instead. Check it out:

1. Log in to your GoDaddy Account.

2. Click Launch next to Domains.

3. Click Use My Domain on the domain you want to connect to your Squarespace site.

4. Click Connect to an Existing Site.
