Managing domains for Google Workspace

Are you using Google Workspace (previously G Suite)? If so, it’s essential to have at least one custom domain associated with your site. This ensures a professional email address that matches your domain. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adding, editing, or moving your Google Workspace domains.

Add, Edit, or Move Your Google Workspace Domains

To get started with Google Workspace, you need a custom domain linked to your site. This domain will appear after the @ symbol in your email address. For example, if your domain is mysite.com, your email addresses will end with @mysite.com. If you’ve recently registered a new domain and want to update it for your Google Workspace email addresses, follow these easy steps:

1. Log into your Google Admin console.
2. Add the new domain to your Google Workspace account.
3. Set the new domain as your primary Google Workspace domain.
4. Confirm the change by going to your Google domains settings.

If you need further assistance in changing your domain, feel free to contact Google for support.

Primary Google Workspace Domain

Your primary domain is crucial as it represents your brand in email communications. While changing the primary domain, you might notice that your site’s Google Workspace panel still displays the old domain. To resolve this, log into your Google Admin console and adjust the domain for each user. To learn more about this process, refer to Google’s documentation.

Move Your Domain and Google Workspace Account

If you’re migrating to a new Squarespace site and want to move your Google Workspace account along with your domain, it’s possible. However, ensure that the new site doesn’t already have an active Google Workspace account. In case there is an existing account, cancel it before proceeding. The process for moving your Google Workspace account depends on whether you have a Squarespace or third-party domain:

• Squarespace domain: Your Google Workspace account will automatically move with your domain. Visit the Squarespace site to move your domain smoothly.
• Third-party domains: If you have a third-party domain, transfer it to your new site first. Once the domain is successfully moved, reach out to us for manual transfer of your Google Workspace account.

Use Multiple Domains with One Google Workspace Account

Did you know that you can use multiple domains within a single Google Workspace account? To make this possible, you must add any secondary domains to your Google Workspace account first. Google provides detailed steps in their documentation to guide you through the process. Once you’ve added a secondary domain, you can create new users with email addresses ending in that domain. Follow these steps:

1. Add a new user in your Google Workspace panel.
2. The user will receive login information and a link from Google. Make sure they use this link to log in for the first time. If they don’t receive the invitation, you can resend it.
3. After logging in, they should visit your account’s Admin Console.
4. Rename the user so that their email address ends with the secondary domain.
