Google Workspace eligibility

Overview

Before you can add Google Workspace to a domain through DreamHost, the domain has to meet a few requirements. Most of them are Google's, and DreamHost can't override them.

Requirements

  • The domain is on your DreamHost account.

  • You're the owner of the DreamHost account.

  • You're located in a country where Google offers Google Workspace.

  • The domain doesn't already have a Google Workspace account, whether directly with Google or through another reseller.

  • The domain hasn't had a Google Workspace account or trial that was canceled in the last 90 days. Google holds on to a canceled domain for about that long before it can be used again.

If your domain isn't in the dropdown

When you sign up, the panel only lists domains that are eligible. If yours is missing, the most common reason is that Google already has an account for it.

  • You have Google Workspace somewhere else — DreamHost can't transfer an existing Google Workspace account in from Google or another reseller. You can keep it where it is, or cancel it there and sign up through DreamHost once Google releases the domain.

  • You canceled recently — Contact Google to reactivate the old account, or ask them to remove it so the domain can be used again.

If neither applies and you believe your domain should be eligible, contact support and we'll look into it.
