Note! During the purchase, there are two options for domain creation:
1.    Existing Business Domain: Provide any existing domain that you own.
2.    Create New: Search for new domain that reflects your business’s name.

Can I change the domain name?

Note! If you do change the domain in your Admin console, please contact support@gsubscriptions.com  to request a corresponding change at https://manage-XX.gsubscription.com

Why do I need to verify my domain?

Verifying your domain is a security measure to ensure that no one else can use your domain to sign up for Google Workspace. This verification process helps us confirm that you are the rightful owner, contributing to the security and integrity of your domain within the Google Workspace environment.

Note! If you purchased a domain name through www.gsubscriptions.com  Domain name registration services will be provided by ResellerClub. Initially, AppXite will verify your domain(s) on ResellerClub's behalf. 

How can I verify the domain?

If you haven't verified your primary domain, you'll see a  Set up Admin Console (admin.google.com)  prompt at the top of the Admin console dashboard that will walk you through the steps to verify. 

During the purchase, the user verifies the domain within Google. This process checks if the domain is already in use within Google.  

  • If the domain is not in use, you can proceed to checkout. 
  • If the domain already exists in Google, you will not be allowed to proceed to checkout. In this case, choose another domain name. 
How can I manage my domain purchased at gsubscriptions.com?

You can manage your domain through ResellerClub. Login details and password are provided in your invoice upon purchase.

What is Domain Management and why do I need it?

Domain management involves tasks like configuring DNS,  protecting privacy, creating subdomains, and setting up email. It ensures security, brand consistency, reliability, professionalism, SEO benefits, and control over your domain. Proper management protects against unauthorized access and keeps your services functional. Using a provider like ResellerClub offers the tools and support needed for effective domain maintenance.

What happens with domain if I don't renew my Google Workspace Subscription?

If you don't renew your Google Workspace subscription, your domain will be canceled, and you will lose access to it. This means your website, email, and any services associated with the domain will become inaccessible.
