Before you check your MX records, look at your email address. If it ends with @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, or similar, that company is your provider. For custom email addresses (like @yourcompany.com), follow these steps to find your provider:

Check for Google Workspace in Squarespace

  1. Open your Squarespace Google Workspace panel
  2. If you see email addresses listed, Squarespace manages your Google Workspace account
  3. If you see "Select a plan," you don't have an active account

Find Your MX Records For Squarespace domains:

  1. Go to domains dashboard
  2. Click your domain
  3. Select DNS settings
  4. Look for MX records in Custom Records
  5. The provider name appears at the end of the Data record (e.g., google.com)

For third-party domains:

  1. Log into your domain host account
  2. Find DNS settings
  3. Locate MX records
  4. Note the domain name at the end of records

Still Can't Find Your Provider?

  • Check bank statements for email service charges
  • Contact your domain host for help
  • Review your DNS records

Once you know your provider, you can:

  • Use your custom email with Squarespace
  • Transfer email services
  • Connect domains while keeping existing email
  • Set up new Google Workspace accounts

Remember: Knowing your email provider is essential for domain transfers, email setup, and service migrations.
