Managing domains registered through Google Workspace requires understanding specific processes for domain management and support. Here's what you need to know:

Domain Registration Overview

When setting up a new Google Workspace account, you can register a domain through Squarespace. These domains are managed jointly by Google Workspace and Squarespace, with billing handled through Google Workspace.

Identifying Resold Domains

To check if your domain is registered through a reseller:

1. Open the Domain Dashboard
2. Click on your domain
3. Look for the reseller's name under the domain's expiration date

Domain Management Responsibilities

Google Workspace Controls:

• Billing and payment information
• Auto-renewal settings
• Domain cancellation
• Refund requests

Squarespace Controls:

• DNS records management
• Domain forwarding
• Contact information updates
• Nameserver settings
• WHOIS privacy
• Domain suspension issues
• Domain locking/unlocking

First-Time Squarespace Login

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. Access the Domain Dashboard

Domain Authentication

• Look for email titled "[Action Required] Please Authenticate Your Squarespace Domain Contact"
• Complete authentication within 15 days to avoid domain suspension
• Authentication email sends to the contact address provided during registration

Important Notes

• You cannot move a resold domain to a Squarespace site due to separate billing requirements
• Domain transfer to Squarespace is not possible for Google Workspace registered domains
• Canceling Google Workspace doesn't automatically cancel the domain
• Domain billing continues through Google Workspace even if you cancel Google Workspace

Domain Connection

You can connect your resold domain to a Squarespace site while maintaining separate billing through Google Workspace.
