Transfer from Squarespace

Squarespace inherited your domains when Google Domains closed. If the new home isn't for you, bringing them to OrbitFour takes minutes — and your DNS keeps working throughout.

Your DNS keeps working

Transferring a domain doesn't touch your nameservers or records. Your website and email stay up the whole time — and afterward you're free to use any nameservers, including ours.

How to transfer

  1. 1

    Unlock the domain at Squarespace

    Turn off the registrar/transfer lock, and disable WHOIS privacy if it blocks the confirmation email.

  2. 2

    Get the authorization code

    Copy the auth code (sometimes called the EPP or transfer code) from your Squarespace account.

  3. 3

    Start the transfer at OrbitFour

    Paste the code to transfer one domain — or upload a CSV to move your whole portfolio at once.

  4. 4

    Approve and relax

    Approve the confirmation email if prompted. Your DNS and nameservers stay in place the entire time, so nothing goes down.

Transfer questions

Will my website or email go down during the transfer?

No. A domain transfer changes who manages the registration, not your DNS — we keep your existing nameservers and records, so your site and email keep working.

How long does a transfer from Squarespace take?

Usually up to five days, set by the registry, though it's often faster. We email you at each step and as soon as it completes.

Can I transfer a lot of domains at once?

Yes. Upload a CSV of domains and auth codes and transfer your whole portfolio in one go — built for moving in bulk during a registrar change.

Do I lose the time left on my current registration?

No. A transfer adds a year and your remaining time is preserved, per ICANN rules — you don't pay twice for the same period.
