Finding Your Domain Provider

Your domain provider (domain registrar) hosts your custom domain name (e.g., www.yourdomain.com). Knowing your provider is essential for domain transfers, connections, and setting up MX records.

Here are three reliable methods to find your domain provider:

1. Using ICANN's Lookup Tool (Recommended)

• Visit ICANN's lookup tool
• Enter your domain name
• Look for "Registrar" and "Registrar URL" in results
• The registrar listed is typically your domain provider

2. Check Your Domain Control Panel

• Log into your hosting account
• Navigate to domain settings
• Look for registrar information

3. Search Whois Records

• Use any Whois lookup service
• Enter your domain name
• Check registrar information

Former Google Domains Users: All Google Domains have been transferred to Squarespace Domains. Access your domain through Squarespace's domain panel using your Google Domains email address.

Squarespace Domain Customers: To verify your provider in Squarespace:

1. Open domains control panel
2. Find your domain
3. Check the Provider column

Important Notes:

• If you see a reseller listed, they might be your actual provider
• Squarespace works with both Squarespace Domains LLC and Tucows as registrars
• Tucows may appear in Whois records but might not be your direct provider

Once You Find Your Provider:

• Transfer or connect domains to your preferred platform
• Set up necessary DNS records
• Contact provider directly for account-specific help
• Manage domain settings and renewals

Remember: Keep your domain registration information updated and maintain access to the email address associated with your domain registration.
