Finding your email provider is crucial for managing custom email addresses and domain transfers. Here's how to identify your email host:

Check Your Email Address Format

If your email ends with your domain (like @yourcompany.com), you have a custom email address. If it ends with gmail.com or yahoo.com, you're using that provider's service.

Verify Google Workspace Status

1. Check your Google Workspace panel:

• If email addresses are listed, Google Workspace is your provider
• If you see pricing plans, you don't have an account yet

Find MX Records

For Squarespace domains:

1. Open domain dashboard
2. Select your domain
3. Click [DNS]
4. Scroll to [Custom Records]
5. Look for MX records
6. Check the domain name at the end of records (e.g., google.com indicates Google Workspace)

For third-party domains:

1. Access DNS settings in your domain host account
2. Locate MX records
3. Check the domain name in records to identify the provider

Alternative Methods

If above steps don't work:

• Review bank statements for email service charges
• Contact your domain host
• Check with your IT department

Next Steps

After identifying your provider:

• Set up custom email addresses
• Transfer domains if needed
• Configure email settings
• Connect domain to continue using existing email
• Sign up for Google Workspace if needed

For unresolved issues, contact your domain host or current email provider for support.
