Hi,
Using the admin, web interface, it does not appear to be possible to set a CNAME record the way that Squarespace expects. I.e., they want a CNAME record that looks like
<20-character-random-string> CNAME verify.squarespace.com
Is it possible to edit a configuration file manually to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Isn’t that what you want?

I think that’s right but I had done it incorrectly at first and the MIAB dns record seems to be stuck on my first incorrect attempt.
E.g., “verify.squarespace.com.example.com ” is what shows in Squarespace’s panel.

Received the following this morning:
? A redirect from 'www.example.com' has been disabled for this domain because you have set a custom DNS record on the www subdomain.
The CNAME for www.example.com is the only reference to www.example.com . Is there a bug in MIAB’s DNS management?

Make sure there is a period at the end of verify.squarespace.com.example.com .
eg,
wrong: verify.squarespace.com.example.com
right: verify.squarespace.com.example.com .
If that is not it, we will probably need to see your settings or more information to help you.

Yes, thank you! That worked!
