About Squarespace
Who Squarespace are
Squarespace is a design-led website builder with a template library and a block editor, aimed at portfolios, studios and small businesses. It bundles extras such as scheduling and member areas. Its Business plan is around £23/mo.
If you want fixed UK pricing, a dedicated container per site, and email, DNS and tested backups included as standard, here is why teams move to G7Cloud.
The case for switching
Why people leave Squarespace for G7Cloud
Fixed pricing, a dedicated container per site, and email, DNS and tested backups included as standard. Here is what changes when you move.
The site is never yours
Like every closed builder, Squarespace sites cannot be exported as working code: cancel and the site is gone. The G7Cloud AI Website Builder generates an application you can browse, export and host anywhere. Ownership is the whole point.
Fixed £12 beats £23 for most small sites
Squarespace Business is around £23/mo. G7Cloud Starter is £12/mo with a custom domain, free SSL, email hosting, DNS and daily restore-tested backups, all things Squarespace either charges for elsewhere or does not provide.
Beyond what widgets allow
When your site needs something Squarespace’s blocks do not offer, you are stuck. On G7Cloud you ask the AI and it builds the feature into your code (a database-backed booking flow, a members’ admin area, a custom catalogue), with checkpoints so any change can be undone.
Email hosting included
Business email on Squarespace means a paid Google Workspace subscription. Every paid G7Cloud plan includes mailboxes, aliases, Roundcube webmail, IMAP/SMTP and spam filtering, with DKIM/SPF managed for you.
A real platform underneath
Published sites run in dedicated containers on managed UK infrastructure with ScaleShield firewall and bot protection, per-minute uptime monitoring and free wildcard SSL. If you later need WordPress, a git-deployed app or a full shop, it is the same platform and the same bill.

Moving from Squarespace
We move you. Free. You approve every step.
Squarespace sites cannot be exported as code, so we rebuild, and it is quick: the AI Website Builder imports your brand kit from your existing site’s URL and regenerates the site as code you own. Our team moves your domain and sets up your email, free. Nothing switches until you approve it.
- Assisted by our team: we do it with you, not to you
- Preview everything on a temporary URL before anything switches
- Your old site stays live until you approve the cutover
- 30-day money-back guarantee if it does not work out
