Google Workspace Domain Management: A Complete Guide

When you register a domain through Google Workspace, Squarespace acts as the domain registrar while Google Workspace handles billing and basic management. This partnership offers seamless integration but requires understanding where to manage different aspects of your domain.

Identifying Your Domain's Registration

To check if your domain is registered through a reseller:

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

Management Responsibilities

Google Workspace Controls:

  • Billing and renewals
  • Payment information updates
  • Account cancellations
  • Refunds

Squarespace Controls:

  • DNS records
  • Domain forwarding
  • Contact information
  • Name servers
  • WHOIS privacy
  • Domain transfers
  • Domain suspension issues

Initial Squarespace Login Process

  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

Important Domain Management Notes:

  • Verify your domain within 15 days of registration to avoid suspension
  • Domain billing remains separate from Squarespace website billing
  • You cannot move a resold domain to a Squarespace site due to billing structure
  • Cancelling Google Workspace doesn't automatically cancel your domain

Key Restrictions:

  • Cannot transfer domains from Google Workspace to Squarespace
  • Must manage billing through Google Workspace
  • Domain cancellations must be handled through Google Workspace support
