Managing domain names registered through Google Workspace requires understanding how to identify your reseller domain and manage various domain settings effectively. Here's what you need to know:

Identifying Your Reseller Domain

To check if your domain is registered through a reseller:

1. Access your domains control panel
2. Click the domain name to view details
3. Look under the expiration date for the reseller name

Domain Management Responsibilities

Google Workspace handles:

• Billing and auto-renewal settings
• Payment information updates
• Cancellations
• Refunds

Squarespace manages:

• DNS records
• Domain forwarding
• Contact information
• Name servers
• Whois privacy
• Domain transfers
• Domain suspension issues
• Domain locking/unlocking

First-Time Login Process

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 prompts to access your domain control panel

Important Domain Requirements

• Verify your domain within 15 days of registration to prevent suspension
• Respond to the verification email titled "[Action Required] Verify Your Contact Information for Squarespace Domains"

Domain and Site Integration

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

• Billing settings remain separate from your website
• Domain transfers to Squarespace are not possible
• Billing continues through Google Workspace

Key Considerations

• Canceling Google Workspace doesn't automatically cancel your domain
• Domains must be canceled separately if no longer needed
• Domain management remains split between Google Workspace (billing) and Squarespace (technical settings)
• New registrations can be canceled within 5 days through Google Workspace
