Connect your domain at Squarespace
Add two records at Squarespace so your site works whether visitors type
yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com. It takes a couple of minutes.
Record 1: your root domain
Record type: A
Name / Host: @ (means your root domain)
Value / Points to: 138.197.57.119
Record 2: www
Record type: CNAME
Name / Host: www
Value / Points to: bizporch.com
Domains that used to be on Google Domains are now managed here at Squarespace.
Step 1: add the A record (your root domain)
- Go to account.squarespace.com/domains, log in, and click your domain.
- In the side panel, click DNS → DNS Settings.
- Scroll to Custom Records and click Add record.
- If prompted, re-enter your password or 2FA code and click Continue.
- Set Type to A. In Host, type
@. In IP Address, enter 138.197.57.119. - Click Save.
Step 2: add the www record
Add this so www.yourdomain.com reaches your site too (we redirect it to your main address automatically):
Add record → Type CNAME → Host www → Data bizporch.com → Save. (Squarespace does not allow @ for a CNAME — only www or another label.)

Good to know
- Squarespace asks you to re-enter your password before editing DNS — expect that prompt.
- Use the Custom Records section, not the email “presets.”
- You can only edit DNS here if the domain is registered with (or connected to) Squarespace.
Last step: once you’ve added the record, open your BizPorch dashboard, go to
Custom Domain, and enter your domain. We check your DNS automatically and turn on
a free security certificate as soon as it points here. DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours.
