Finding your email provider is crucial for managing your domain and email services effectively. Here's how to identify who hosts your email:

Check Your Email Address Format

If your email ends with @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, or similar, that company is your provider. For custom addresses ending in your domain (like @yourcompany.com), continue reading to identify the host.

Check Google Workspace Dashboard

1. Open your Google Workspace dashboard
2. If you see active users/email addresses: Google Workspace is your host
3. If you see "Select a plan": You don't have an active account

Find MX Records

For Squarespace Domains:

1. Open domain management panel
2. Click your domain
3. Select DNS settings
4. Look for MX records under Custom Records
5. Check the Data record endpoint - this identifies your provider

For External Domains:

1. Log into your domain host account
2. Locate DNS settings
3. Find MX records
4. Check the domain name at the record's end

Alternative Methods

If still unsure:

• Review bank statements for email provider charges
• Contact your domain host
• Check email client settings
• Consult your IT department or administrator

Next Steps

After identifying your provider:

• Use custom email with your website
• Transfer email services if needed
• Set up Google Workspace
• Update DNS settings
• Configure email clients

Remember: Knowing your email provider is essential for domain transfers, email migrations, and maintaining proper email functionality.
