Custom email addresses can be set up to match your domain when using Squarespace. For instance, if you own exampledomain.com, you can create email addresses like [email protected].

There are two main ways to set up custom email addresses with Squarespace:

1. New Email Setup

• Use Google Workspace integration (formerly G Suite)
• Manage payments through Squarespace
• Access emails, calendars, and documents through Google's interface

2. Existing Email Address

• Continue using your current custom email address
• Works with both Squarespace and third-party domains
• Maintain existing email hosting when connecting domains

Important Notes About Hosting:

• Squarespace does not host email services
• Email is always hosted externally
• Website hosting is handled by Squarespace
• Domain hosting can be through Squarespace or third-party providers

To Ensure Successful Email Delivery:

• Add DKIM records to your domain to prevent spam filtering
• For Google Workspace users: Follow Google's DKIM and SPF record guidelines
• For other providers: Contact them directly for DKIM/SPF setup instructions

Key Components:

• Website: Always hosted on Squarespace
• Custom Domain: Can be hosted by Squarespace or third-party
• Email: Always hosted by external providers (Google Workspace or others)

Domain MX Records:

• Third-party domain emails remain unaffected when connecting to Squarespace
• Squarespace domain users can maintain third-party email services by updating MX records

This setup ensures professional email communication while maintaining flexibility in hosting and service providers.
