You can connect a domain you have purchased from a third–party like Cloudflare to your Squarespace website. Note that to successfully connect your domain to your website in Squarespace, your website must be under Trial or fully Paid.

In Squarespace

  1. Open the "Domains" Panel
  2. Click "Use a Domain I own"
  3. Enter the full domain you're connecting
  4. Click "Connect Domain"

In Cloudflare

  1. Go to the domain you are connecting to your Squarespace website — It needs to be the same domain you entered in Squarespace (directions under point 3, above).
  2. On the lefthand sidebar click on "DNS"

On the DNS records screen, enter the following records CNAME records:

Type: CNAME
Name: (Copy and paste the unique code under Host on the first line.)
Target: verify.squarespace.com
Proxy: Off, DNS-only (gray cloud)
Type: CNAME
Name: www
Target: ext-cust.squarespace.com
Proxy On (orange cloud)

And enter all of the following A Records:

Type: A
Name: @
IP4 Address: 198.185.159.144
Type: A
Name: @
IP4 Address: 198.185.159.145
Type: A
Name: @
IP4 Address: 198.49.23.144
Type: A
Name: @
IP4 Address: 198.49.23.145

Next

After you've entered all the records from above, technically speaking, it can take up to 48 hours for DNS records to take effect. However, if it's all set correctly and the domain was purchased in Cloudflare, changes should take effect immediately.

Also, make sure that under SSL/TLS in Cloudflare is set to "Full"
