To point your Squarespace domain to your Forge server provisioned through AWS, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Squarespace account and navigate to the Domains section.
  2. Select the domain you want to point to your Forge server.
  3. Click on the "Advanced Settings" or "DNS Settings" option.
  4. Look for the DNS records section and add a new record.
  5. Create an "A" record with the following details:
    • Host: Leave it blank or enter "@".
    • Points to: Enter the IP address of your Forge server.
    • TTL: Set it to the desired value (e.g., 1 hour).
  6. Save the DNS record.
  7. Wait for the DNS changes to propagate, which may take some time (usually a few hours).
  8. Once the DNS changes have propagated, your Squarespace domain should be pointing to your Forge server.

Please note that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the Squarespace interface version you are using. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, it's recommended to consult Squarespace's documentation or reach out to their support team.

Here's an example of how the "A" record might look in the DNS settings:

Host: @
Points to: 123.456.789.0
TTL: 3600

Remember to replace "123.456.789.0" with the actual IP address of your Forge server.
