Managing Domains in Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) requires understanding a few key concepts and processes. Here's what you need to know:

Primary Domain Management

Your primary domain appears after the @ in email addresses (e.g., @mysite.com). To update your primary domain:

1. Sign in to Google Admin console
2. Add your new domain
3. Set it as primary
4. Verify the change in domain settings

Moving Google Workspace Accounts

When transferring your Google Workspace account between sites:

For Squarespace Domains:

• Your Google Workspace account automatically moves with your domain
• Currency adjusts to match the new site's location

For Third-party Domains:

• First move your domain to the new site
• Contact support for manual Google Workspace transfer
• Don't modify your Google Workspace settings during the process

Using Multiple Domains

To set up multiple domains:

1. Add secondary domains in Google Admin console
2. Create new users with primary domain
3. Edit email addresses to use secondary domain

Adding Users with Secondary Domain:

1. Add new user in Google Workspace panel
2. User receives login information and activation link
3. Access admin console after first login
4. Update user's email to include secondary domain

Best Practices

This comprehensive domain management approach ensures smooth operation of your Google Workspace environment while maintaining proper email functionality across all domains.
