Find your email provider quickly by following these steps:

  1. Check Your Email Address Format

If your email ends with:

  • @yourcompany.com (custom domain) - Continue to step 2
  • @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, etc. (public provider) - You're using that company's email service
  1. Check Google Workspace Status

Open your Google Workspace panel:

  • If email addresses are listed: Google Workspace is your provider
  • If you see pricing plans: You don't have an account yet
  1. Look Up MX Records

For Squarespace domains:

  • Go to domain dashboard
  • Click your domain
  • Select DNS settings
  • Find MX records under Custom Records
  • Check the endpoint domain (e.g., google.com = Google Workspace)

For third-party domains:

  • Log into your domain host
  • Access DNS settings
  • Locate MX records
  • Note the endpoint domain
  1. Alternative Methods

If still unsure:

  • Review bank statements for email service charges
  • Contact your domain host
  • Check email login page branding
  • Review account settings
  1. Next Steps After Identification

You can now:

  • Use custom email with your website
  • Transfer email services if needed
  • Set up email forwarding
  • Configure DNS settings properly
