What you are configuring

  • Record type: CNAME
  • Host: blog (or the hostname you configured in BlogPath)
  • Points to / Data: proxy.blogpath.io
  • TTL: leave default

Steps in Squarespace Domains

  1. Log in to Squarespace → Domains → click your domain.
  2. Open the DNS Settings tab.
  3. Scroll to Custom Records and click Add Record.
  4. Type: CNAME.
  5. Host: blog (or your chosen subdomain).
  6. Data / Points to: proxy.blogpath.io.
  7. Save.

Apex note

Use a subdomain (e.g., blog). Squarespace does not support a true CNAME at apex. Keep your root A/ALIAS for the main site and set the fallback origin in BlogPath to your main site.

Verify

In BlogPath, run DNS checkVerify. Propagation is usually under 10 minutes. Remove any old A/AAAA record for the same host if verification fails.
