Should I move my domain to Squarespace?

Domain Hosting: GoDaddy vs. Squarespace

If your domain is currently hosted on GoDaddy, then if you move to Squarespace, you can transfer the domain directly.

  • Squarespace includes one free year of domain hosting when signing up for an annual plan

  • After the first year, domain renewals are ~$14-20 per year through Squarespace

  • GoDaddy domains can cost more due to privacy add-ons and upsells

  • Managing the domain and site in one place simplifies troubleshooting and billing

My take: Unless there’s a compelling reason to keep the domain at GoDaddy (e.g. bundled email or other services), transferring to Squarespace makes ongoing management easier and potentially cheaper.
