Managing your Google Workspace domains effectively requires understanding a few key concepts and procedures. Here's what you need to know:

Primary Domain Basics

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

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

Domain Migration

When moving your Google Workspace account to another site, consider these scenarios:

For Squarespace Domains:

• The Google Workspace account automatically migrates with the domain
• No additional steps required

For Third-Party Domains:

1. First migrate the domain to the new site
2. Then manually migrate the Google Workspace account
3. Contact support before making any changes

Multiple Domain Management

To use multiple domains with one Google Workspace account:

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

Adding Users with Secondary Domains:

1. Add new user in Google Workspace panel
2. Share login information and link from Google
3. Access admin console after first login
4. Modify username to include secondary domain

Important Considerations:

• Currency changes may occur when migrating between sites with different payment currencies
• Always verify domain changes in the Google Admin console
• Resend invitations if new users don't receive them
• Keep login credentials secure and accessible

For advanced features, you can:

• Assign multiple email aliases to single users
• Use email addresses from existing custom domains
• Set up custom email addresses within Squarespace
• Troubleshoot domain verification issues
