Frequently asked questions
Should we move away from GoDaddy?
Only where there is a reason: resource limits, unclear backups, or cost against a sized alternative. Domains and hosting can also be separated so a move affects one and not the other.
Is the bundled email good enough?
For small teams it can be. Where retention, sharing, mobile policy or deliverability matter, a proper tenant on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace is the correct answer.
What should be secured first?
The registrar account: MFA, registrar lock, current recovery contacts, and a record of who holds access.
