I was looking to get an "official" mailing address for my business, an online travel agency. So used Google Workspace for it. The mail address has been up and running for almost 6 months now, but along with the mail ID, I am also paying for my domain, which, to my understanding, is being hosted by Squarespace. But I do not have a website at that address. How can I build and deploy my website on the domain?

I followed the link and was able to create an initial website, something that I can improve upon further, but I found something weird. Squarespace is asking for more money to publish it! To my understanding, I am paying for the domain and the mail address; why do I need to pay to publish my website ?
Do I need to publish my wensite on Google sites to avoid this extra charge ? If yes then is there anyway I can port my already created website to Google Sites ?

I don't have firsthand experience with squarespace (and sharing this based on their help page) but most low code platforms (like squarespace or zoho) don't allow you to export their websites or do it at an additional charge. Generally, movement between two such platforms almost never works, so you'll need to make your website from scratch in Google Sites.
However when it is time for you to renew your domain, you can move to a host which gives a starter site along with your domain name. Additionally, if you need basic emal address then you can use free tier of Zoho mail instead of Google workspace which will help you save some money.
@LaatSahab first move your domain out of squarespace. their pricing for domain is huge. use spaceship, cloudflare for domain. You need to pay for website as it is a separate service. You can get a hostinger hosting which will cost cheapest and best. manage workspace subscription directly. message me if you need help with any step, i can guide you. also have a hosting so i can give it for free.
