Connect a Google or Squarespace Domain:

Question:How do I point my domain’s DNS to connect to my Success.Legal ecosystem website in Ontario?

Answer:To connect your domain to the Success.Legal ecosystem website, update DNS records with the IP 40.121.136.229: create or edit the root-domain A record (host/name “@”) to 40.121.136.229, and set the www record as a CNAME to your root domain (avoid MX, email, verification, and nameserver changes unless instructed).   If your domain was moved from Google Domains to Squarespace, sign into the Squarespace Domains account that now manages it, open DNS settings, add the custom records, then notify the team with your domain name so they can route your site and start SSL setup.   DNS propagation isn’t always immediate, so connectivity can take some time.   For help verifying your exact DNS entries for Ontario lawyers and paralegals, call (800) 551-5751.

Add this website to Google Preferred Sources

Use this guide to connect your domain name to your Success.Legal ecosystem website.  To complete the connection, your domain’s DNS records must point to our web server IP address: 40.121.136.229.  This is usually done by adding or updating an A record for the root domain and, where required, a CNAME record for the www version of the domain.

Note: Please contact Marketing.Legal™ by phone at: (800) 551-5751 to discuss any specific questions that you may have.

Important: Many domains formerly registered through Google Domains are now managed through Squarespace Domains.  If your domain was originally purchased through Google Domains, sign in to the account now responsible for managing the domain and locate the DNS settings for that domain. Squarespace confirms that Google Domains migrated to Squarespace and that custom DNS records can be added through the Squarespace domain settings. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

1. Sign in to the account where your domain is currently managed.
2. Select the domain name you want to connect to your Success.Legal ecosystem website.
3. Open the domain’s DNS or DNS Settings area.
4. Locate the section for Custom Records, Custom Resource Records, or similar DNS record management.
5. Add or update the root-domain A record:
   1. Enter @ in the name, host, or subdomain field.
   2. Select A as the record type.
   3. Enter 40.121.136.229 as the value, data, or IP address.
   4. Save or add the record.
6. Add or update the www record:
   1. Enter www in the name, host, or subdomain field.
   2. Select CNAME as the record type.
   3. Enter your root domain name as the value, such as example.ca, unless we have provided a different destination.
   4. Save or add the record.

Please avoid changing MX records, email records, verification records, or nameserver settings unless you have been specifically instructed to do so.  Changing unrelated DNS records may disrupt email, domain verification, or other connected services.

After the DNS records have been updated, please notify us using the form below.  Include the domain name you pointed to our server and the business, practice, or website account it should connect with.  We will then configure the website to respond to your domain and proceed with the SSL security certificate setup.

DNS changes are not always immediate.  In many cases, the change begins working quickly, but propagation can sometimes take longer depending on the registrar, DNS provider, and previous record settings.

For additional provider-specific guidance, please refer to the applicable DNS support documentation for your domain provider.  Squarespace’s current instructions for custom DNS records are available through its domain DNS support materials. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
