Verify/protect domain with Google workspace - Domains - Squarespace Forum
January 8, 2024 - Hi I'm trying to protect/verify my domain through Google workspace. I've just added a verification record in the DNS settings (on my squarespace account) However at Google's end it will not verify. Please take a look at the attached screenshots. Is the error message from Google normal? Thanks Alex

r/googlecloud on Reddit: Cannot Verify Google Workspace Account Through SquareSpace Domain Purchased on Google Cloud
January 8, 2025 -

Hello, I am very new at setting up domains. I registered a domain through Google Cloud and did not realize those domains are now managed by SquareSpace. I verified my domain contact email and the domain is considered active on Google Cloud.

I then tried to create a Google Workspace account using that domain. I needed to verify the domain in order to use Google Workspace. According to Workspace my domain is hosted under SquareSpace so I have to log in there to verify either the TXT or CNAME record.

Problem is, I had not tried to log in to SquareSpace until that point and had not received anything from them except the contact email verification. If a SquareSpace account was supposed to be created when I registered the domain, I never got any info from Google Cloud or SquareSpace about that.

I cannot log in with the Workspace email because it is not verified and nothing showed up on my domain dashboard when I tried logging in with the contact email. I registered the domain yesterday while logged in to the same Gmail as the SquareSpace domain contact.

SquareSpace support keeps saying because I bought the domain through Google Cloud they can’t do anything on their end. But everything on Google’s end sends me to the SquareSpace log in page. And I can’t transfer the domain until 60 days have passed because I just register it.

Am I missing a very obvious step? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: As of an hour ago, SquareSpace responded saying even though they are the listed registrar they cannot access the domain settings or anything because it was bought on Google Cloud.

The DNS provider is Cloud DNS but in order to verify my Workspace account I would need to copy and paste either the TXT record or the CNAME record. How do you do that in the Google Cloud interface?

UPDATE x2: After following NoCommandLine's guidance to verify through Google Cloud, I tried the same thing this time using the TXT record from Google Workspace and it worked! Thank you NoCommandLine and TexasBaconMan for helping me figure out what to do.

r/squarespace on Reddit: Cannot add a domain I already own...
January 2, 2024 -

I am trying to use my domain, bought through Google Workspace in my Squarespace account for two reasons:

  1. To create a website

  2. To verify my MX Records so I can recieve my Gmail emails again...

I own my domain name. Workspace says it is verified and "Gmail activation in progress". However, I cannot choose "use my own domain" on Squarespace. Every time I try and type in my domain, it says I do not have permission to use the domain. Yes, the domain says it is already managed by Squarespace. I can also not receive any emails to my connected account because I need the domain in order to re-do the MX Records so I can gain access to the Gmail account.

There is no Google Workspace live support and the 24/7 Squarespace Live Chat is not working either. I am in a constant circle and don't know how to proceed.
