Domain management for Google Workspace requires at least one custom domain linked to your website. Here's how to manage your domains effectively:

Primary Domain Management

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

  1. Access Google Admin Console
  2. Add the new domain
  3. Set it as primary
  4. Verify changes in Google Domains settings

Note: After changing the primary domain, update the domain for each user in your Google Admin Console.

Moving Domains Between Websites

For Squarespace Domains:

  • Google Workspace account automatically moves with your domain
  • Currency adjusts to the new website's billing currency

For Third-party Domains:

  1. Link domain to new website
  2. Request manual migration of Google Workspace account
  3. Wait for confirmation before making account changes

Managing Multiple Domains

To use multiple domains with one Google Workspace account:

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

Adding Users with Secondary Domain:

  1. Create new user via Google Workspace menu
  2. User receives login credentials and link
  3. Access Admin Console
  4. Rename user with secondary domain

Common Tasks:

  • Create email aliases
  • Use existing domain email addresses
  • Set up custom email addresses
  • Verify domains
  • Troubleshoot verification issues

Remember to follow Google's documentation for detailed steps on specific processes and contact support if needed.
