Why Use a UKC Domain with Squarespace?
Many UK-based individuals and small businesses choose UK Cheapest for domain registration because we offer:
- Low-cost domain names – register a .UK domain for just £1

Step-by-Step: Connecting Your UKC Domain to Squarespace
1. Log in to your Squarespace account
Visit Squarespace.com and sign in. From the Home menu, go to Settings > Domains. Click Use a domain I own.
2. Enter your UK Cheapest domain name
Type your domain (e.g., yourdomain.co.uk) and click Continue. When asked who your domain provider is, select Other. Then choose Connect domain (not transfer).
3. Get your Squarespace DNS settings
Squarespace will show a list of DNS records—usually including a CNAME for “www” and several A records. Leave this page open, as you’ll need to copy the values into your UKC account.
4. Log in to your UK Cheapest account
- Go to uk-cheapest.co.uk and log in to your Client Area.
- Click on Domain Names > My Domains and select the domain to connect.
- Click Manage Domain and go to DNS Management or Free DNS Manager.
5. Update your DNS records
Remove any existing A or CNAME records, then add the DNS records provided by Squarespace.
Example:
- A Record:
@→198.185.159.144 - CNAME:
www→ext-cust.squarespace.com
Be sure to enter each records exactly as shown in Squarespace.
6. Save your changes and wait
Once saved, DNS updates can take several hours (up to 24) to propagate. During this time, your domain will start pointing to your Squarespace site.
