Step 5: Edit the A record and change the value to 65.39.205.54

Step 6: Edit the CNAME record and change the value to yourdomainname.com. i.e. domain dot top-level domain dot; the last dot is important!

Step 8: Log into your squarespace.com account.

Step 11:

That's it! If you don't see any results right away, wait a few hours. DNS changes have to get copied all around the internet once they're made, and can take up to a day to do so.
