Managing a Domain Registered Through Google Workspace

If you registered a domain through Google Workspace using Squarespace as the registrar, you'll need to manage certain aspects through both platforms. Here's what you need to know:

Identifying a Resold Domain

Check your domain panel and open the domain details page. If purchased through a reseller, you'll see the reseller's name below the domain's expiration date.

Domain Management Responsibilities

Google Workspace handles:

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

Squarespace manages:

• DNS records
• URL forwarding
• Domain contact information
• Nameserver settings
• WHOIS privacy
• Domain suspension issues
• Domain blocking/unblocking
• Domain transfers to other hosts

Logging Into Squarespace

1. Sign out of any existing Squarespace accounts
2. Visit squarespace.com/login
3. Click "Continue with Google"
4. Select your Google Workspace account
5. Access your domain panel

Important Notes:

• Verify your domain within 15 days of registration to avoid suspension
• Domain billing remains separate from Squarespace website billing
• You cannot transfer a resold domain to a Squarespace site, but you can connect it
• Canceling Google Workspace doesn't automatically cancel your domain
• Domain cancellation must be handled separately through Google Workspace

If you need to cancel your recently registered domain (within 5 days), contact Google Workspace support. Note that canceling makes the domain available for others to register.
