How to Find Your Domain Provider: A Complete Guide
Domain providers host custom domains like www.yourdomain.com. Finding your domain provider is essential for domain transfers, connections, and setting up MX records. Here are three reliable methods to identify your domain provider:
1. Using ICANN's Lookup Tool
- Visit ICANN's lookup website
- Enter your domain name
- Check the "Registrar" and "Registrar URL" sections
- The registrar listed is typically your domain provider
2. Check Domain Management Dashboard
If you use Squarespace:
- Open the domains dashboard
- Log in to your account
- Look under the "Provider" column
3. Google Domains Users
All Google Domains have been transferred to Squarespace Domains. To manage your domain:
- Log in to Squarespace using your Google Domains email
- Access the domains dashboard
- Update billing information if needed
Special Cases
Resellers:
- If you see a "Reseller" listed in ICANN lookup, try logging in through the reseller first
- Some domains are managed through third-party vendors partnered with Squarespace
Tucows and Squarespace Domains:
- Open the domains dashboard
- Click your domain
- Check the Provider field - it will show either "Squarespace Domains LLC" or "Tucows"
Next Steps After Finding Your Provider
Once identified, you can:
- Transfer or connect your domain to Squarespace
- Set up MX records for Google Workspace
- Contact your provider for account assistance
Remember: Keep your domain provider information accessible for future reference and domain management needs.
