Squarespace's only export is a blog XML file — no design, no code, no images. Leaving normally means starting over. We rebuild your Squarespace site line-for-line in clean HTML on IONOS you own outright. No transaction fees. No lock-in.

Squarespace's built-in export produces a single XML file of your blog posts, meant for moving text into WordPress. It exports zero design, zero CSS and zero images. Your actual site — the layout, styling and functionality you built — can't be exported and only runs on Squarespace. That's why leaving usually means a full rebuild. XferMySite does that rebuild as clean HTML on IONOS hosting you own, keeping the look you have today for a flat bill typically under $20/month.

The one export button gives you an XML file of blog text. Design, pages and images stay behind.
Plans are cheapest billed annually, so you commit a year at a time to a site you don't own.
You work within Squarespace's templates and blocks; deep custom code needs pricier plans and still runs on their platform.
Transaction fees apply on lower plans, skimming a cut of every sale on top of the subscription.
Platform-rendered pages carry heavy scripts that can slow load times and Core Web Vitals.
Because the site can't be exported, switching feels like starting from zero — we remove that risk.
We take the design, content and branding you already built on Squarespace and duplicate them as fast, hand-coded HTML on IONOS — under your account, on your domain.
Your Squarespace design, recreated in clean semantic HTML/CSS. Same look, without Squarespace underneath.
Every file lives in your IONOS account, on your domain. Edit it, move it, keep it forever.
Flat hosting replaces subscription tiers and per-sale cuts on commerce plans.
Static HTML loads faster, ranks more easily, and has almost nothing that can break.
Change any button, font or section — it's a text edit, not a plan upgrade.
We work in your time zone, in plain English, with a fixed quote up front.

No. Squarespace only exports your blog posts as an XML file - no design, CSS, images or pages. The site itself can't be exported and must be rebuilt to live anywhere else. That's exactly what we do, as clean HTML you own.
You own your content and, if you registered it, your domain - but not the website. Squarespace owns the platform and templates and licenses them to you while you pay. After our rebuild, every file is yours on your own IONOS account.
No, if you rebuild it. We duplicate your existing Squarespace design faithfully in clean HTML so it looks the same, without Squarespace underneath.
Product data can be exported via CSV and rebuilt. Moving to your own HTML site on IONOS also drops Squarespace's per-sale transaction fees. Complex store features are reviewed case-by-case in the free audit.
Yes. We point your existing domain at your new IONOS hosting, and if it's registered through Squarespace we help you transfer it out so you own it.
We quote per project - flat and fixed before work begins, and the audit is free. Most brochure-style sites (up to ~10 pages) ship within one to two weeks. After that your only recurring cost is your own IONOS hosting.
