Adding a DNS record at Squarespace Domains
First make sure Squarespace Domains actually serves your DNS: records only work where your domain's nameservers point. If your domain is registered here but uses another company's nameservers, add the records there instead.
- Open Domains, choose your domain and go to DNS → DNS Settings.
- Under Custom records, add a record of type TXT or CNAME, as your provider asks.
- For Host enter the host (for DMARC: _dmarc), paste the value and save.
Only one DMARC record may exist per domain. If _dmarc already has one, edit it instead of adding a second.
Changes usually appear within an hour, longer if an old record had a long TTL. Then check your domain.
Steps are typical; menus change. If something doesn't match, check Squarespace Domains's own help pages.
