Finding your email provider is simple if you follow these clear steps:

Check your email address format first:

For custom email addresses, check your Google Workspace status:

  1. Open your Google Workspace panel
  2. If you see email users listed - Google Workspace is your provider
  3. 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.
