How to Find Your Email Provider: A Step-by-Step Guide
Finding your email provider is simple if you follow these clear steps:
Check your email address format first:
- Custom email addresses end with your domain ([email protected])
- Regular email addresses end with a provider name ([email protected])
For custom email addresses, check your Google Workspace status:
- Open your Google Workspace panel
- If you see email users listed - Google Workspace is your provider
- If you see "Select a plan" - You don't have an account yet
Check your MX records:
For Squarespace domains:
- Go to domains dashboard > select domain > DNS > Custom Records
- Look for MX records
- The domain at the end of the Data record is your provider (e.g., google.com)
For third-party domains:
- Log into your domain host account
- Locate DNS settings
- Find MX records
- Note the domain name at the end
Still unsure? Try these steps:
- Review bank statements for email provider charges
- Contact your domain host for DNS record information
- Look in your email settings for provider information
Next steps after identifying your provider:
- Set up custom email with your Squarespace site
- Transfer email services if needed
- Maintain existing email when connecting domains
- Sign up for Google Workspace if desired
Remember: Your email provider is essential for domain transfers, email connections, and service migrations.
