  I purchased my domain name through WordPress, and recently started using Squarespace. I still want to use wordpress for my blog and have already transfered it over. However, how do I use the domain name I purchased? Do I need to cancel my domain with you in order to have it for my square space website? Squarespace said I need to use a 3rd party. However, if there is a simple way to customize the wordpress site and add an ecommerce I will still and purchase premium, I just find the site gets very confusing. Thanks!

  Hi there!

  Squarespace does not accept incoming transfers, but you can change your A records by following these directions:

  Here are the corresponding directions from Squarespace:
