If you get a new domain or rebrand your company, you might want to change the domain for your Google Workspace account. Then, you can use the new domain for your email addresses, Google Drive sharing, Google Meet, and other services. You can keep your old domain as a domain alias so you get email at both your new and old email addresses.
Before you beginSwitching your primary domain is an involved process. You might consider adding another domain to your account instead. Learn about Alternatives to changing your primary domain.

Step 1: Prepare for the switchBe sure you can sign in to the domain host (for example, GoDaddy or Enom) of your new primary domain. You need to update domain settings, and your domain host can help you.
If you purchased your account from a reseller, notify your reseller before switching. They can help with the switch.
Adding a new domain won't affect or change your current email.
Before you begin: If you already added your new domain as an alias, go to Remove a domain. You can come back and add that domain as a secondary domain and then change it to your primary domain. You might need to wait up to 24 hours for verification before you can change the secondary domain to your primary domain.

Note: The domain aliases are linked to the old primary domain. After you remove the domain alias, it can take 24 hours before you can add it back.
If you installed apps from the Google Workspace Marketplace, check with the app developer about whether you need to reinstall the app. If an app saves data based on the domain name or a user's email address, some data might be lost.
If you have a Google Cloud account, there's no impact to your projects or resources. The Google Cloud organization resource display name might take several days to update.
