Domain Mapping with Network Solutions

Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 at 06:57PM by Registered CommenterA. Casalena in | Comments Off
You can map your own domain name to your Squarespace site using our Domain Mapping feature.  Please note, this feature is not available with our Basic plan. You must upgrade your account to Pro or higher to access this service. 

The following instructions are for configuring your domain in the Network Solutions control panel.  These instructions assume you have already registered a domain with Network Solutions, and can take up to 48 hours to propagate through the internet.

Step 1 - Login to Your Network Solutions Account

Using the login prompt in the top right corner of the screen at networksolutions.com, enter your login credentials.

Step 2 - Create a Custom DNS Setting
