You'll need add both a new A Record and a new CNAME Record to your Squarespace domain. Please follow the instructions below:
To add your A Record
1. Click here to go to the Domains panel in Squarespace (you'll probably need to log in). You should see a page that looks similar to this:
If that link doesn't work just log into your Squarespace account and click on "Settings" in the sidebar, and then click on the "Domains" option.
2. Once you can see a section titled "Domains managed by Squarespace" go ahead and click on the domain you'd like to use with your Zarla website.
You should see a page like this as an example:
Delete your Squarespace Default Settings by clicking on the red trash can icon next to those default records.
3. Scroll down to the Custom Records section and click "Add Record" then enter the information below:
In the Host field, enter @
In the Type drop-down menu, select A
In the Data field, enter 66.45.103.234
Then click "Save."
4. Lastly, add one more record in the Custom Records section using the following details:
In the Host field, enter www
In the Type drop-down menu, select CNAME
In the Data field, enter custom.zarla.com
Then click "Save."
Important Note:
For Root domain with name @ (example.com):
Only one A record should exist.
There should be no AAAA record (this is rare, but if present, it can break SSL certificates).
For www subdomain (www.example.com):
Should have only one CNAME record (pointing to the correct target www).
If any A, AAAA, or additional CNAME records exist, they must be deleted.
Once both A name and CNAME have been added, please contact our Customer Success Team.
