A custom email address matching your domain name adds professionalism to your business communications. When using Squarespace, you have two main options for setting up custom email addresses:

Option 1: Google Workspace Integration

• Create new custom email addresses through Squarespace's partnership with Google Workspace
• Billing managed through Squarespace
• Access emails, calendars, and documents through Google's interface
• Includes full Google Workspace functionality

Option 2: Use Existing Email Address

• Continue using your current custom email address
• Works with both Squarespace Domains and third-party domains
• Connecting domain to Squarespace won't affect existing email hosting
• For Squarespace Domains, adjust MX records to maintain third-party email service

Important Notes About Email Hosting

• Email is always hosted externally, never by Squarespace
• Website hosting (Squarespace)
• Domain hosting (Squarespace or third-party)
• Email hosting (Google Workspace or other provider)

Ensuring Successful Email Delivery To prevent emails from being marked as spam:

1. Add DKIM records to your domain
2. Implement SPF records
3. For Google Workspace users, follow Google's DKIM and SPF documentation
4. Contact your email provider for specific DKIM/SPF setup instructions

Custom email addresses work seamlessly with Squarespace while maintaining professional communication standards and ensuring reliable email delivery.
