Website FAQs
Here are some common Questions & Answers about your Squarespace Website.
Who does the Hosting? Squarespace is an all-in-one platform. This means, they will be both your site-hosting platform as well as your Content Management System (CMS). (For Example, Wordpress is another CMS.)
What about my Domain? You can choose to host your domain (i.e. yourdomain.com) on Squarespace or host it elsewhere (i.e. Godaddy or Namecheap) and I'll just connect it to your site. Either is fine.
● If you buy your domain through Squarespace, it's grouped into your one bill and one account, which is handy vs paying multiple vendors. ● Due to cost, many folks choose to host their domain through a different provider, and just have me connect the domain to the website. Namecheap, for example, is generally less expensive than Squarespace for domains. Squarespace is usually around $20/year for domains.
Can I have branded Email? Squarespace has a relationship with Google Suite. You can choose to add-on branded email to your Squarespace package and this just means the billing is all grouped together in one bill/one account - which is handy vs. paying two vendors. The price is the same as it is with Google on its own: $6/per user per month. You would access your email through gmail.
How much does Squarespce cost?
Plans are $12-26 / month depending on your needs. See Squarespace pricing here. For small business or a personal website, the only reason you would have a "Business" level plan is if you need custom code/embedding, or if you wanted to use their Commerce platform to sell products online.
● Please note: wherever it says that domain or email are included - it is misleading. It is only included for 1 year. Then, you pay for it after that first year. ● I get all of my clients 20% off their first year of an annual plan, as a Circle Developer.
