Managing Domains Registered via Google Workspace

If you registered a domain through Google Workspace, it's managed jointly by Google Workspace and Squarespace as a reseller domain. Here's what you need to know about managing your domain effectively.

Identifying Your Reseller Domain

To check if your domain is registered through a reseller:

1. Open your Domains dashboard
2. Click on the domain name
3. Look under the domain's expiration date - the reseller's name will appear there

Domain Management Responsibilities

Google Workspace handles:

• Billing and renewals
• Payment information updates
• Cancellations
• Refunds

Squarespace manages:

• DNS records
• Domain forwarding
• Contact information updates
• Name server changes
• WHOIS protection
• Domain suspensions
• Domain locking/unlocking
• Domain transfers

First-Time Squarespace Login

1. Log out of any existing Squarespace accounts
2. Visit squarespace.com/login
3. Click "Continue with Google"
4. Select your Google Workspace account
5. Follow the login prompts

Domain Verification

• Watch for an email titled "[Action Required] Verify the contact information for your Squarespace domain"
• Click the verification link within 15 days to prevent domain suspension
• The email goes to the contact address provided during registration

Connecting to Squarespace Sites

You can connect your reseller domain to a Squarespace site, but:

• Domain billing remains separate from website billing
• The domain cannot be moved to a Squarespace site
• Billing continues through Google Workspace

Important Notes

• You cannot transfer a Google Workspace-registered domain to Squarespace
• Canceling Google Workspace doesn't automatically cancel your domain
• Domain cancellation within 5 days of registration may be possible through Google Workspace support
