A domain provider (or registrar) is the company that hosts your domain name. Knowing your provider is essential for managing your domain, transferring it, or setting up custom email services.

Here are reliable methods to find your domain provider:

Using ICANN Lookup

  1. Visit ICANN Lookup website
  2. Enter your domain name
  3. Click "Lookup"
  4. Check the "Registrar" and "Registrar URL" sections

Checking Your Domain Dashboard

  • Log in to Squarespace domain dashboard
  • Find your domain name
  • Look for the provider listed in the provider column

Former Google Domains Users All Google Domains have been migrated to Squarespace Domains. To manage these domains:

  • Log in to Squarespace using your Google Domains email
  • Access the domain dashboard
  • Update payment details or manage administrators

For Squarespace Domains Squarespace uses two registrars:

  • Squarespace Domains LLC
  • Tucows Domains (as a reseller)

To check which one is your registrar:

  1. Open domain dashboard
  2. Click on your domain
  3. Look for the provider at the top

Next Steps After Finding Your Provider

  • Transfer or connect your domain to Squarespace
  • Set up MX records for email services
  • Contact your provider for account-specific assistance

Remember: If you see Tucows in your Whois entry, check your domain menu to confirm your actual provider, as Tucows works with multiple resellers.

For resold Squarespace domains, you may need to manage certain aspects through your reseller while Squarespace remains your primary provider.
