Squarespace Pricing Breakdown
How Squarespace Domain Pricing Works
First-Year Discounts
59 extensions have a first-year price below the regular one, including .academy, .agency, .art, .au. Squarespace says discounts apply to the first year only, and no multi-year purchase is needed to get them.
Transfers Pay a Renewal Year
There is no transfer fee as such. You pay one year at the regular price, not the discounted one, and the year is added to the domain's term. Transfers out are free.
What Comes Free
WHOIS privacy where the extension allows it, Google Cloud DNS with DNSSEC, up to 100 email forwarding aliases, URL forwarding and two-factor login. The free SSL certificate only covers a domain pointed at a Squarespace site.
No Free Mailbox
Email forwarding is free, but a real mailbox is extra: Titan email or Google Workspace, which most Squarespace website plans include free for the first year.
Former Google Domains
Squarespace took over Google Domains in September 2023 and kept Google's renewal prices for at least 12 months. That period is over, so former Google Domains customers now pay Squarespace's regular prices.
5 Squarespace domains Cost Optimization Tips
Budget for the Regular Price
The first-year discount applies once. A .com at $10.00 renews at $22.00, so compare extensions on the renewal price, which is what you pay from year two.
Move Domains You Don't Build On
Squarespace's domain perks mostly help Squarespace sites. For a domain pointed elsewhere, Cloudflare renews a .com for $10.46 a year against $22.00 here, and transfers out of Squarespace are free.
Claim the Free Domain With an Annual Plan
An annual website plan includes one domain free for the first year if it is in the lowest price tier. Claim it within a year of buying the plan.
Keep Auto-Renew On
Renewal is charged 15 days before the due date. Letting a .com lapse past the grace period adds a $45 redemption fee to the renewal.
Cancel Within 5 Days
A new registration can be refunded in full within 5 days. Renewals and term extensions cannot be refunded.
Track Your Cloud and AI Spend in Real-Time
The domain is the cheap part. CostGoat shows your hosting, cloud and AI API spend live, with alerts before a bill spikes.

Squarespace Domain Pricing FAQ
Common questions about what Squarespace charges for domains
It depends on the extension. A .com is $10.00 for the first year and $22.00 a year after that, a .org $9.00 then $20.00, and a .io $60.00 then $70.00. Use the price list above for any of the 459 extensions Squarespace sells.
The regular price for the extension, which Squarespace shows crossed out next to the first-year price. 59 of 459 extensions cost more from year two, and a .com goes from $10.00 to $22.00. The same applies to a free domain from a website plan once its free year ends.
With an annual website plan, yes for the first year, if the domain is in the lowest price tier, which includes .com. Monthly plans do not qualify. Cancel the website plan during that year and you are charged the domain's first-year price, and after it the domain renews at the regular price.
The transfer has no fee of its own, but you pay one year at the regular renewal price, not the first-year price, and that year is added to the domain. Moving a .com in costs $22.00. The domain must be 60 days past its registration or last transfer, and premium domains cannot move.
Auto-renew is on by default and charges 15 days before the renewal date. If a domain lapses, you can reactivate it at the regular price during a grace period. After that, recovering a .com, .net or .org costs a $45 redemption fee on top of the renewal, and $160 for a .ai.
