Managing domains in Google Workspace is straightforward. Here's what you need to know:

Primary Domain Management

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

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

Moving Domains Between Sites

For Squarespace domains:

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

For third-party domains:

  1. Move the domain to the new site first
  2. Contact support for manual Google Workspace transfer

Using Multiple Domains

To set up multiple domains:

  1. Add secondary domains in Google Workspace
  2. Create users with primary domain
  3. Modify email addresses in Admin console
  4. Send login credentials to new users

Adding Users with Secondary Domain

  1. Add new user in Google Workspace panel
  2. User receives login credentials via email
  3. New user must use provided link for first login
  4. Rename user to secondary domain in Admin Console

Additional Features

  • Create email aliases for users
  • Use existing custom domain emails
  • Verify domains for Google Workspace
  • Manage multiple email addresses per user

Remember to review domain settings after making changes and follow Google's documentation for detailed instructions on specific processes.
