Switch from Squarespace
Cheaper than Squarespace – and your website looks exactly the same
Squarespace charges $19 a month for Basic. We make an exact copy of your website and host it for $9 a month the first year – at least 10% below Squarespace – and then our normal price minus 10%. Nothing on your website changes; you only change who you pay.
Free. No card. You see your copy before you pay anything.

Why businesses leave Squarespace
- Squarespace requires annual payment for its lowest price. CarbonCopy has no lock-in.
- At Squarespace your website is built in their own editor and can't be taken with you. We copy the finished pages, so you can leave Squarespace without rebuilding anything.
- You keep your domain and your e-mail where they are today – we only move the website itself.
How to move from Squarespace – about 10 minutes of your time
- Type your address above. We see that your website is at Squarespace and show what you save.
- Confirm the website is yours with a code to your e-mail on the domain.
- Look at your copy, page by page, before you pay anything.
- Point the domain here. We do it automatically where we can; otherwise you get the steps – or a ready message for your DNS company.
- Cancel the hosting plan at Squarespace – not the domain and not the e-mail.
