Squarespace plans include both website hosting and often domain registration. When you cancel, your site goes offline but registered domains remain active. Consider transferring domains before cancelling if you want to keep them.

Squarespace-specific things to know

Squarespace subscriptions affect multiple services. These tips cover important details about domains and data.

Domains are separate from site plans
If you registered a domain through Squarespace, it stays active even after cancelling your site plan. You'll still be charged annually for domain renewal unless you transfer it elsewhere.
Export your content before cancelling
Squarespace offers content export in Settings > Advanced > Import/Export. Download your pages, blog posts, and images before your site goes offline.
Commerce plans have additional considerations
If you're running an online store, ensure all orders are fulfilled and customer data is backed up. Payment processing stops immediately when your plan expires.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing and what happens to your website.

1. Check your billing cycle

Squarespace bills annually or monthly. Your site stays live until the end of your current billing period, so you won't get a partial refund.

2. Handle domains first

If you want to keep your domain, either transfer it to another registrar or let it auto-renew through Squarespace. Domain transfers take 5-7 days.

3. Download everything you need

Once your plan expires, you can't access your site content. Export pages, blog posts, images, and any custom code before cancelling.

Other options to consider

If you're cancelling due to cost or features, these alternatives might work better than ending your subscription completely.

Downgrade your Squarespace plan

Squarespace offers multiple pricing tiers. You might be able to switch to a cheaper plan that still meets your needs.

  • Personal Plan - Basic websites without e-commerce

  • Business Plan - Advanced features and e-commerce

  • Commerce Plans - Full online store functionality
