Squarespace domains registered through Google Workspace require unique management approaches. Here's what you need to know about identifying, managing, and troubleshooting your domain.

Identifying Your Reseller Domain

To check if your domain is registered through a reseller:

  1. Open your domain panel
  2. Click the domain name
  3. Look below the expiration date for the reseller's name

Domain Management Responsibilities

Google Workspace handles:

  • Cancellations
  • Automatic renewal settings
  • Refunds
  • Payment information updates

Squarespace handles:

  • DNS record management
  • URL redirects
  • Domain contact information
  • Name server settings
  • Whois privacy
  • Domain suspension issues
  • Domain lock settings

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

Important Domain Management Notes:

  • Domain verification is required within 15 days of registration to prevent suspension
  • You can connect your domain to a Squarespace site, but billing remains separate
  • Domain transfers to Squarespace are not possible for reseller domains

Key Information:

  • Canceling Google Workspace doesn't automatically cancel your domain
  • Domains must be canceled separately through Google Workspace
  • Domain billing continues through Google Workspace even after cancellation
  • All other domain settings remain manageable through Squarespace
  • New domains less than 5 days old may be eligible for cancellation and re-registration through Squarespace directly
