If you registered your domain through Google Workspace, it's important to understand how to manage it effectively between both Google Workspace and Squarespace. Here's what you need to know:

Identifying Your Reseller Domain

Access the Domains dashboard and click on your domain. If it's a reseller domain, you'll see the reseller name listed under the domain expiration date.

Management Responsibilities

Google Workspace handles:

• Cancellation
• Automatic renewal settings
• Refunds
• Payment information updates

Squarespace manages:

• DNS records
• Domain forwarding
• Contact information changes
• Nameserver modifications
• Whois privacy
• Domain suspension issues
• Domain locking/unlocking

Accessing Your Squarespace Account

1. Log out of any existing Squarespace accounts
2. Visit squarespace.com/login
3. Click "Continue with Google"
4. Select your Google Workspace account
5. Complete the login process

Important Domain Verification

• You'll receive a verification email after registration
• Verify within 15 days to prevent domain suspension
• Verification email goes to the contact address provided during registration

Connecting to Squarespace Sites

You can connect your reseller domain to a Squarespace site, but:

• Billing settings remain separate from your website
• The domain cannot be transferred to a Squarespace site
• Billing continues through Google Workspace Admin Console

Key Points to Remember

• You cannot transfer a Google Workspace-registered domain to Squarespace
• Canceling Google Workspace doesn't automatically cancel the domain
• Domain billing remains with Google Workspace even if you keep using Squarespace for management
