Who's my domain provider?

Resources on locating the domain provider for your domain.
Your domain provider (aka domain registrar) hosts your custom domain name, like www.yourdomain.com. You’ll need to know who your domain provider is to:
- Transfer the domain to Squarespace
- Connect the domain to Squarespace
- Set up MX records for Google Workspace (for third-party domains only)
There are a few ways to find your domain provider. You can:
- Use ICANN’s free lookup tool, or the Abuse Contact IDentifier (ACID) tool from ICANN's Registrar Stakeholder Group
- Look at your domains dashboard
- Use Squarespace's free Whois Registration lookup tool
Tip: When you build a site with Squarespace, Squarespace is your web host. Learn more about the difference between web hosting and domain hosting.
If you bought your domain from Google
All Google Domains have migrated to Squarespace and are now Squarespace Domains. If your domain migrated, you'll manage your domain from the domains dashboard in Squarespace. Log in with the email address that you used for your Google Domains account. You may want to:
If you’re not sure which email address to log in with, search all possible inboxes for emails from Squarespace about the migration. If you know the email address but can’t log in, recover your account.
Use one of ICANN's free lookup tools
You can use one of ICANN's free lookup tools to find the registrar information for any domain.
- Go to ICANN’s lookup tool, or the Abuse Contact IDentifier (ACID) tool from ICANN's Registrar Stakeholder Group.
- Enter your domain name in the search field.
- Click Lookup or Check, depending on which tool you choose.
- On the results page, look for the name and URL listed in Registrar and Registrar URL sections.
- If the Registrar section only displays an Internet Assigned Name Authority ID (IANA ID), search for the number in IANA's Registrar IDs to find the registrar that corresponds with the ID number.
- The Registrar is usually your domain provider. Use the Registrar URL to log into your domain account or contact the provider for more help. If you see a Reseller listed, this might be your domain provider instead. To make changes to your domain, try logging into your account with your reseller first.
If Squarespace is your domain provider, you'll manage your domain in your Squarespace domains dashboard.
Note: If Tucows is listed as the Registrar, Squarespace may be your provider. See this section for more information.
Find your domain provider in the Squarespace domains dashboard
To identify your domain provider in Squarespace, you can check your domains dashboard:
- Open the domains dashboard.
- If prompted, log into your account. If you're having trouble, visit I can't log in.
- Find the domain name and look under the Provider column. The name listed is your domain provider.
Resold Squarespace domains
Squarespace partners with third-party companies to provide Squarespace domains to their customers. If you registered your Squarespace domain through a reseller, Squarespace is your domain provider, but you may need to manage certain aspects of your domain with your reseller. To learn more about identifying and getting support for your resold domain, visit Managing Squarespace domains registered through a third party reseller.
Registrars for Squarespace domains
We sell domains directly through three registrars: Squarespace Domains LLC, Squarespace Domains II LLC, and Squarespace Domains Canada Inc. We also resell domains through Tucows' and Key-Systems' family of registrars. To find your registrar of record, follow the steps in Who's my registrar of record?
If Tucows is in your public record but Squarespace isn't your provider
Tucows sells domains directly and through other resellers. If Tucows is listed in your public record, and your domain is connected to a Squarespace site, visit your Domains panel to see who's listed as the provider.
