Domain names registered through Google Workspace via Squarespace require specific management approaches. Here's what you need to know about handling these resold domains effectively.

Identifying Your Resold Domain To check if your domain is resold:

1. Access your domain names dashboard
2. Click the domain name
3. Look for the vendor name below the expiration date

Management Responsibilities

• Cancellations
• Auto-renewal settings
• Refunds
• Payment information updates

Squarespace Controls:

5. Follow login prompts to access your domain dashboard

Important Domain Verification

• Watch for email titled "[Action Required] Verify your contact information for Squarespace Domains"

• Verification email sends to your registration contact address

Domain Connection Information

• New domains can be canceled within 5 days and re-registered through Squarespace
