Identifying your domain provider is essential for managing your website effectively. Here's how to find yours:

Quick Methods to Find Your Domain Provider:

  1. Use ICANN Lookup Tool:
  • Visit ICANN lookup website
  • Enter your domain name
  • Check "Registrar" and "Registrar URL" sections
  • Look for reseller information if listed
  1. Check Squarespace Central Panel:
  • Open central domains panel
  • Log into your account
  • Look in the "Provider" column
  1. Check Domain's Whois Records

For Google Domain Users: All Google domains have migrated to Squarespace. To manage your domain:

  • Log in to Squarespace using your Google Domains email
  • Update billing details
  • Manage domain collaborators

For Squarespace Domain Users: Squarespace uses two registrars:

  • Squarespace Domains LLC
  • Tucows (as reseller)

To verify your Squarespace registrar:

  1. Open domains panel
  2. Click your domain
  3. Check provider name at page top

Why You Need This Information:

  • Transfer domains
  • Connect domains to your website
  • Set up Google Workspace MX records
  • Manage domain settings
  • Contact support

After identifying your provider, you can:

  • Transfer or connect domains to Squarespace
  • Set up MX records for Google Workspace
  • Manage domain settings
  • Contact provider support directly

For resold Squarespace domains, some management tasks may require working with the reseller, though Squarespace remains the primary provider.
