Trouble with getting domain pointed to Squarespace
-
I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting my domain pointed to Squarespace. I’ve been trying to get this done on my own for the last few hours now, but after reading through the forums, most people had to have an admin point it for them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers.

Thanks! I actually read those links that you’ve posted prior to me posting this thread, but I still couldn’t get it to configure.

Nov 6, 2013, 7:06 AMHi there,
The information you found on our support forums is out of date — since that post was made, Squarespace has changed their instructions for pointing domains to Squarespace. Our domain manager does not include a domain forwarding option like the one Squarespace currently recommends.
I went ahead and entered the DNS records you need to point your domain to Squarespace. I also entered the records you need to keep your email working with your custom domain. (Please note it can take up to 72 hours for changes like this to take full effect.)
Please let me know if I can help with anything else!”

Hi Amanda,
To point our domain to Squarespace, I will need your custom A record for your Squarespace blog. You cannot do this through adding a CNAME record. Once I have your A record, I can point your domain accordingly!
Best,

Hi @Doruk,
You may need to ask Squarespace for it. Sending something like this should do the trick:
“Hi!
I’m trying to point my domain that is registered at WordPress.com to my Squarespace site. Could you please provide the A record for my Squarespace site? My Squarespace blog is…”
Let me know if that doesn’t work!
Best,
Jeremey

Hey @jeremeylduvall
I just got a reply from them so they told me that it is 65.39.205.61
I’ll be glad if you set my mail settings so I can continue using my gmail which is connected to my domain.
Thanks in advance !

Hey Jeremey, thanks for the reply. I reached out to Squarespace and this was their response.
“We recommend you use the A Record ‘@’ to point to ‘65.39.205.61’”

If I can get help from an active admin it would be very comforting.
It’s really urgent because I can’t get any business mails,Thanks.
