1. Add your domain to your Fabrik site
Important: Link your domain within the Fabrik dashboard first. To do this, log in to Fabrik and go to Settings > Domains and link your domain.
Make sure both the root (non-www) and www versions of your domain are added. This way it doesn't matter which URL someone enters, they'll still end up at your Fabrik site.
2. Choose your primary domain
Every Fabrik website has a primary domain/URL. If someone navigates to a non-primary domain we redirect them to your primary domain. What you choose is up to you - personally we favour the non-www version (e.g. yourdomain.com) because it is shorter and looks nicer in the address bar.
3. Link from Squarespace
Log in to your Squarespace account and tap the "Domains" link at the top of the page. From there you should see your domain listed.
Tap the More three-dot icon to open the domain information popup. At the top right you'll find Manage Domain.
From the Manage Domain screen tap Advanced Settings
First, just check your Nameservers are set to Squarespace, otherwise the management of your domain name is being controlled elsewhere.
Tap the DNS Records tab to do through to the DNS Management page. At the bottom of the DNS management page you'll find Custom Records list.
You need to add or change both the @ and www records to point to Fabrik's IP address 52.215.137.200
The Internet is a big place!
DNS records are replicated all over the internet so any changes you make can often take up to 48 hours to propagate. If after a few hours your domain still goes to the old location, please be patient and wait a bit longer. If you want absolute confirmation that you've set everything up correctly you can use Dig Web Interface.
