Webcentral adding record

Refer to the DNS details provided in your Squarespace dashboard (as shown in the image). You will need to input each row of information into your Webcentral DNS editor.

For every record listed:

  • Use the value under the Host column from Squarespace as the Name in Webcentral.
Important: If the Host value is @, leave the Name field blank in Webcentral, as it does not support the @ symbol.
  • Use the value under Required Data as the Content or Hostname.
  • Match the Type (e.g., A, CNAME).

Click Create after entering each record, and repeat this process for all rows shown in the table—do not skip any. This ensures a complete and successful domain connection.

4. Verify the Connection

A successful connection will be indicated by a green Record Found status next to each entry. Note that changes may not take effect immediately. You can leave the records as they are and check back later—ensure that all entries eventually display Record Found in green.
