Squarespace Domains review

Squarespace Domains is built around one promise: the price you see is the price you pay, with every feature, taxes and fees included. The included list is long for a retail registrar: WHOIS privacy on eligible domains, a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, premium DNS, email forwarding, spam-free parking pages, two-factor authentication, URL forwarding and 24/7 support. DNSSEC runs on CloudDNS, and a domain activity log records every change made by owners and managers. Pay Links lets you create payment links on your domain without a website. It supports over 400 extensions. The dashboard is the simplest here if you already run a Squarespace site, since connecting the domain is built in. We could not capture a USD .com price from the page during our check, so its price is marked pending, and buyers who want API access or DNS as code will find more at Porkbun or Cloudflare.
