It’s a common question: can you unpublish a Squarespace site? The answer is yes! You can unpublish your site at any time, and it will no longer be visible to the public.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind before you do so. First, your site will still exist on our servers and you’ll be able to access it (and republish it) at any time. Second, if you have a paid plan, you’ll still be charged for your subscription even if your site is unpublished.
Lastly, any changes you make to your site while it’s unpublished will not go live until you republish the site. So if you’re considering unpublishing your Squarespace site, just remember that it’s easy to do and reversible but there are a few things to keep in mind first.

Can You Publish Squarespace for Free?
It’s no secret that Squarespace is one of the most popular website builders on the market. But what many people don’t know is that you can actually publish your Squarespace site for free. There are a few different ways to do this.
One is to use the built-in Squarespace Domain names feature. This allows you to create a subdomain on Squarespace’s servers and then publish your site to that address. Another way to do it is to use a third-party service like Amazon S3 or Cloudfront.
With these services, you can host your static website files on their servers and then use Squarespace as your DNS provider. This will allow you to use your own domain name with your Squarespace site. Finally, if you have an existing website, you can use Squarespace’s Site Redirect feature.
This will allow you to redirect traffic from your old site to your new Squarespace site. You’ll just need to set up a simple A record with your DNS provider pointing to the IP address of your Squarespace site.
How to Hide My Website from the Public?
Assuming you want to keep your website private and not visible to the public, there are a few ways you can go about doing this. One way is to password-protect your site. This can be done through your hosting control panel or by editing your htaccess file.
Once you have password protection enabled, only people with the correct username and password will be able to access your site. Another way to keep your site private is by using a service like Cloudflare.
Cloudflare allows you to set up a firewall that will block all traffic from reaching your site unless it comes from an approved IP address. This is a good option if you only want certain people to have access to your site, but don’t want to hassle with maintaining a list of usernames and passwords.
A third option is simply to not publish your site until it’s ready for the public to see. If you’re working on a development server, make sure that it’s not accessible via the internet.
Once your site is ready for launch, then you can publish it and make it live for everyone to see. Ultimately, it’s up to you how private or public you want your website to be.
But if you’re looking for ways to keep it hidden from prying eyes, these are a few options that you can consider.
