Thanks. Ran into this exact problem when I wanted more advanced MS365 features. Go-Daddy didn't make it very clear or easy how to migrate, but I persevered and got it done. Lesson learned.
@@jeffbaumen3887 google "defederating godaddy" if you're still looking. tminus365 has a good webpage on it. You can't use ediscovery, etc to export psts under godaddy which is an annoying pain to run a backup prior to defederating. Probably don't need a backup but paranoia never hurt anyone
Thanks for this useful content. One of my current clients is using Godaddy M365 and I assumed there were limitations but this helped me understand what those limitations are. I also used to be based in Yorkshire so nice to get some help from a former home :)
Thanks.. yes we made that mistake back in 2017 but luckily found an IT consulting company here in the USA that was able to restore to us control of our M365 tenant, effectively kicking GD out the back door, for a very reasonable price. We have too many domains with GD to easily leave completely but that could still happen one day. Cheers!
I can attest. I got GoDaddy and it sucks trying to setup a domain with M365. I used Google domains and it was much easier. However, square space is about to acquire google domains very soon
Thank you for this video. I have been with GoDaddy for 15 years with no problems and then all of the sudden, this year, my email service stops working. In addition, I can no longer login to my GoDaddy online account using any browser or any computer and after spending hours on hold and on the phone with techs trying to solve the problem, a GoDaddy representative told me that my problem is a known issue for which GoDaddy has no solution. My company's email has now been completely down for an entire week and one of their techs told me I was lucky that I have not been down for more than 10 days which is apparently an average response time to my issue. I have had three techs in a row literally put me on hold for 20 minutes (after waiting on hold for 20 to 30 minutes just to get through to them) telling me they needed to speak to someone about my inability to login to my account and then after all of that the line hangs up without them ever coming back on the line. I don't know what is going on at GoDaddy, but I am having to spend my day trying to find a new email host and migrate my email to that new host. I am going to ask GoDaddy for a refund of the pro rata portion of the services I have paid for and if they deny me that refund, I will migrate all of my domain and email hosting services away from them anyway and walk away from a considerable amount of money. It’s not worth it. Do not make the mistake I made. Do not let GoDaddy host any of your domains, websites, or emails. They appear to be having serious internal problems. Don't do it!
@@dawgle2715 Did you read my comment in full? It is not one problem that is the issue. The issue is that there is no ability or willingness on the part of GoDaddy to fix my problem, even after hours of waiting. You can't provide a worse level of service than GoDaddy has done in my case. As a company, they have lost control of there own software, it does not get worse than that. My company is 100% reliant on having a functional email system. That is how I get orders for my work. It is the lifeblood of my company and most companies so having even an hour of downtime is a problem. If it were a minor problem and they fixed it after wasting an hour of my time, ok, maybe I give them a pass, but this is a massive problem and months have gone by and they have not fixed the problem nor are they willing to. When you try to get there techs to help you, after hours of waiting on hold, they just pass the buck to someone else or flat out admit they have no idea how to fix the issue. That's not one little problem, it is the problem of all problems. It is utterly the worst experience and worst customer service I have every had in my entire life of any of the thousands of vendors I have had to deal with. Unacceptable under any circumstance-one time or 100 times! This is a one and done situation even if they have been my vendor for 1 million years.
Awesome, this was soooooooo helpful. 2 years old and this still stands today! I knew but I am glad Mr. Edwards was able to clearing detail the answer to my questions. Essentially, if you want to ride a horse, buy a horse.
I've been with GoDaddy since 2010 - but, here's a good reason never to use GoDaddy. In December of 2021 I went to the Microsoft site and purchased a subscription for Visio. Then, I couldn't get a license from Microsoft. Why? My email was my business email - that happened to be hosted by GoDaddy. Microsoft told me to contact GoDaddy's customer support (an awful experience BTW). So, I call GoDaddy support (hours on hold) - but support tells me they don't handle Visio licenses. I had to contact the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint to get the license that I had paid for. I've since moved my business domain and hosting to another hosting site. I'll never use GoDaddy again. And, as for Microsoft - I consider what happened to me a bait-and-switch fraud. I wish I could ditch Microsoft - but it isn't that easy. Yeah, anyway, just stay away from GoDaddy. GoDaddy is the new Comcast.
thanks for this - GoDaddy's sales dept has been so opaque on exactly what it is i'm buying that it sent me searching for more info - i'll go straight ms for this
I have a question please. I purchased my domain through GoDaddy a few days ago, and unfortunately, I purchased a Microsoft 365 email subscription a year. I didn't purchase it at first, because I have owned other domains in the past, and has no issues setting up some email accounts under my domains (not purchased thru GoDaddy). I scoured my new GoDaddy dashboards for my email set up, possible POP3 addresses, or any other email settings. The areas I found were locked, stating I didn't opt in for an email address. And if I wanted more than 1 email address, I had to pay for each one separately. Is there a way to set up an email under my domain, without opting into their Microsoft 365 products? I would prefer to stay away from any applications that have monthly subscription fees.
Absolutely spot on. GoDaddy has a terrible implementation of Microsoft 365. It is a nightmare to deal with as I have many clients but only one that has used them. Be sure to not use GoDaddy.
Jonathan, thank you. Another reason that I think you did mention in a way. You cannot simply buy more storage for M365. First, teams/SP 1TB limit exceeded, so I want to buy more storage, but MS will not sell it ala carte because I use G-D. G-D says I need at least 5 seats for the next level up. Then I find that the data exceeded limit error is affiliated to a file folder and all the file/videos in there add up to 200 GB, not 1.4 terabytes. So I backed up and deleted the entire folder (double delete). Still shows 1.4 terabytes in team files/shareP. Nice. I if it is not gone by properly showing the smaller size I will need to migrate my teams site and delete the old. As for customer service - G-daddy has been pretty good otherwise.
Hi Jonathan ! Does this means the godaddy MS365 plans you can not use it for building a list, send newsletters, get subscribers, send newsletters to individual recipients and can not do organnizing = separate lists for separate subscribers? I know form a friend that th egd MS365 are easy to setup. Can you use them when your domain and hosting is elsewhere?
Well, for my perspective, if you are a "business" that you know will not grow, or only some people will have access to mail and Microsoft, like a little non profit organization or something similar (I'm myself part of something like that) then it could be a decent option : It's easy to set up, manage and you don't need tech experts to manage it
@@bearded365guy Yes, that's right, but we can't dany that having a easy way to have business Microsoft 365 for low price and easy to set up is a good option for little compagny or one man business. You can't do all the things Microsoft offer, but it's a good way to have custom domain, Word and Excel together
Thanks for a great and eye-opening post. Wow. I'm in the US and have used GoDaddy for years for our small family business. We have three POP3 email addresses that we access via Outlook desktop. I (owner) use all three and our daughter uses two of them. Even though we're constantly being prompted to switch to Exchange, we've always set it up as POP3 because the messages download to our desktop Outlook and anything another user does with what's in their mailbox, it doesn't affect what I'm doing. For example, some tax agencies (and others) require a different email address for different accounts, so I'll use the "info" one as a secondary address. When we replaced 2 computers I didn't realize one had automatically set up as Exchange (via GoDaddy) and when she deleted the tax notifications (because they have nothing to do with her) they were {{{poof!!!}}} gone from my email as well. With POP3 they remain in my in-box but not in hers. But since being forced to use Exchange there's nothing but headaches. We're back to not being able to delete (or move) any messages because they are synched to the other users. It's also behaving so frustratingly in ways we do NOT want. It seems it's something new every day, and there seems to be no way to get around it other than just ride it out. It's been giving me the saved reminders on the "info" account (which my daughter has always used and where all of her reminders are) but not on my own. Today it won't download my messages, only the info and one other account. To retrieve them (I KNEW they were there because I sent them from my personal email to the business one) I had to go online. It never downloaded to Outlook for me. I'm at my wit's end with it. So if I can find an alternative way to set up outside of GoDaddy, do you think I'll continue with these types of issues? And is there ANY way possible to go back to POP3 if I don't use GoDaddy's MS 365?
I also receive emails via POP3/SMTP in Outlook Desktop. I considered using Microsoft's Exchange product for my business. The idea of accessing my emails from both my desktop and phone is appealing, and I want copies of sent items to be kept. However, I'm still unsure if Exchange is the right product for me. I was planning to sign up directly with Microsoft rather than through GoDaddy.
Thanks for this video. Have you addressed how to migrate from GoDaddy to MS account that can have CoPilot added? And what are you thoughts on adding paid CoPilot to M265? TIA
Also, I would like your opinion on whether those of stuck with godaddy should associate our website domain/emails with the M365 account when they are already working fine through g-daddy? I am not sure where that gets us anything if we are only a 3 person team at present.
Hi Jonathan. Just watched your helpful video! I currently have two websites hosted by GoDaddy. I now would like custom emails from these sites, and to direct these to my Gmail account. My question to you is - do I have an option in creating customized emails so that I don't have to use the Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy?
@@bearded365guy Yes, that's correct. I honestly don't need their Microsoft 365 as we already have it. It's just the email I need, but I fear GoDaddy will end up billing me a bunch of extra charges. I see they're terrible about doing this.
Worsts company ever GoDaddy, I have seen people selling this with a CMS like Wordpress with woo commerce, then they offer as a best option for small business. Then they get site hack and no one respond because the support is not part of the bundle. daddy will charge more to recover if there’s something to recover.
I am currently not able to sign in to my outlook email address after my administrator migrated to go daddy. Still trying to figure out what is going on
Haven't figured out yet (but when I do I will update this) - but I can't figure out what you are talking about when you say MS 365 from GoDaddy is inferior - unless you are talking about downloaded apps, which you clearly are not. Where do you get your information that GoDaddy has "re-skinned" MS 365 and is offering an inferior version? How can I tell this when logged in? What you have not mentioned is what happened to me: I just installed the apps from my GoDaddy Business Professional (web-based) subscription.. and the version turned out to be 2016 once installed. That is a much-outdated version, and GoDaddy gave no advance warning of this fact. Not sure if they have anything to do with it. It is probably like you are mentioning, the fact that I have now got two MS 365 accounts, one personal (that entitles me to MS Office 2016) and this other through GoDaddy that *could* entitle me to download later apps, but somehow the wrong account is getting looked up. I will edit this comment when I get to the bottom of it, but I had to first raise the point that I can't see how GoDaddy could have "re-skinned" MS Office and offered an inferior version for web-based users.
Wish I would have seen this. I noticed issues when they switched to exchange. I moved my domain to other providers, to test them out, and have not been happy w/a few. Now I'm left trying to figure out an email wk around for my sm biz if I stay as the email issues continue, from sign in isssues, to shutdowns and random problems happening to dns records affecting email. Getting tired of it.
Is it complicated to migrate? I wonder if it’s a good idea to test the Minimum Viable Product with the GoDaddy integration and then migrate after the business is successfully market tested. Once profitability has been achieved, the migration would be the next priority reinvestment used for the yearly fees Microsoft charges through the app store on a Macbook. Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems that GoDaddy allows for monthly fees. If this is true that would allow to run several pilot protects simultaneously with the same initial investment amount and filter out only the good “seeds” that grow the businesses organically.
I'm aware that Microsoft 365 Email Essentials email uses MS exchnage mail server and each email / domain has it's own uniquie IP and that the "proffessional" email can log into MS online .. but Godaddy will not clarify if it uses a group / shared IP or if each has it's own IP
Thank you this is so spot on. I fell in the trap and got 365 through GoDaddy. A horrible, frustrating experience just slowing my new business down. It's almost impossible to create teams/groups without hassle and complications. Unfortunately, I will need to migrate back to MS. I'm not looking forward to learning how to do that efficiently.
@JonathanEdwards Will do thanks. I just don't want to lose the domain and email I already established via GoDaddy. This can be done remotely, correct? And approximately how long will it take?
So if I cancel my GoDaddy 365 product (grandfathered in Email Essentials from GoDaddy) that is up for renewal in a few days who/how will my email (5 mailboxes) be hosted? Can I just get a personal or family Microsoft 365 license and set up my Outlook to work that easy (and cheaper)?? I have Office Pro Plus 2021 on my main PC and Outlook on my mobile device. HELP! I'm confused. Have I been wasting money having both? And while my 5 mailboxes are my business domain do I actually have to buy a business license and pay more? I have a 15 month Family license here ready to go. $100 at Costco with a $10 gift card rebate.
Not just Microsoft 365. I say GoDaddy just walk on by. From personal experience once you start and develop your business they have your private parts in a vise to squeeze ever increasing money from you. Gees that could apply to Microsoft also.
Godaddy deleted my primary admin email unbenounced to me. I found out after all my companies files disappeared from the onedrive cloud despite sharing ownership with my secondary admin account, I cant seem to contact Microsoft because every link sends me back to godaddy who says they cant restore my files since the email was deleted 30days ago. Can Microsoft restore them, that is if I can find a awy to contact them directly? All phone numbers online lead back to "online support which links me back to godaddy. I have 50 employees who depend on me.
I have exactly the same problem, all my OneDrive files are inaccessible, and I have not been able to recover them, monitoring of projects, plans, diagrams, meeting minutes, completely inaccessible, I cannot connect, it sends error 0x8004de8a, if you know any solution for that, please Please let me know, I'm desperate HELP
ARG! I currently have microsoft 365 and so far so good no problems. But I also have godaddy and they recently advised my microsoft 365 will expire in march 2023 and i have to renew or they will cancel! What do I do or is it a gimmick to make me us/pay godaddy 365? My official microsoft 365 direct with them doesnt expire until 11 2023! My IT guy has been using 365 direct through godaddy for years without using godaddy 365. I wonder are they stopping this and forcing the change and you must go through godaddy?
So there are two things here - your domain name, the @domain.com This can reside with GoDaddy But try and move your Microsoft 365 away from GoDaddy before it expires.
I'm very sad to watch your video after I just bought Microsoft 365 Emails from Godaddy :( I already started having problems. I wanted to buy Microsoft 365 Apps for Business from Microsoft, but I couldn't make the setup because the system says my domain is already used in another panel on Godaddy. I don't know hot to solve this issue. For Business packages they say both emails and apps should be on the same server for one domain.

I have problem with godaddy domain that I can’t use Microsoft 365 portal, it will Direct me back to godaddy website which shows no options . I wanted to upgrade my subscription from free to pro for Microsoft Power bi but there is no option for that. Does anyone had similar issue that has been solved? Will love to hear that. Thanks
GoDaddy hides functionality for one drive and make managing a 1TB one drive account useless. Aggravating and hardly a solution for a small business unless you want your business to fail.
You can retain a consultant, pay MS for offshore support, or get everything in one place but no Azure integration. Otherwise this video is a shameless promotion.
When you do a video like this you loose any credibility you might have had by passing on "rumors". Stick to facts you can defend or don't do a sales video like this where you clearly are fishing for new business. We don't mind the "soft sell" if you provide value we can use from factual information.
I have to side with Johnathan. Godaddy is about up-selling and limiting their users scalability without purchasing add-ons. I am monumentally pissed off that I was essentially forced to migrate to Godaddy's MS365 and was told it would be at no charge. Here we are 2 years later and they want $191.00 for one year of service when I already have an MS 365 package that includes most of the MS products. My email was turned off and now I have to either figure out how to migrate to the MS subscription I am already paying for or just give in and pay Godaddy. Johnathan, I would love to have a conversation and employ your services. UUUUGGGGHHHH! Godaddy SUCKS!

You should buy a domain from a better registrar. Godaddy will raise the price in year 2 and constantly attempt to upsell.

Also, I would like your opinion on whether those of stuck with godaddy should associate our website domain/emails with the M365 account when they are already working fine through g-daddy? I am not sure where that gets us anything if we are only a 3 person team at present.
Hi Michael, it’s fine to host your domain and website with GoDaddy. Let me know if you need help moving away from them.
@@bearded365guy how can i get in touch with you about defederating our domain from g..d..? can u send me an email?
Hi Jonathan. Just watched your helpful video! I currently have two websites hosted by GoDaddy. I now would like custom emails from these sites, and to direct these to my Gmail account. My question to you is - do I have an option in creating customized emails so that I don't have to use the Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy?
Yes. I assume you want the custom email addresses to be the same name as your custom websites?
@@bearded365guy Yes, that's correct. I honestly don't need their Microsoft 365 as we already have it. It's just the email I need, but I fear GoDaddy will end up billing me a bunch of extra charges. I see they're terrible about doing this.
Quality content, thanks (subbed)
Great video - subscribed!
The price stuff went so high with Godaddy that charging USD 5 monthly per email account is too much
So helpful!! You just saved us some $$! Thank You!!
Pleased to help!
Hello there! is there any alternatives of godaddy to buy office365 (if I don't want to buy it directly from Microsoft)
Yes, you can buy via an IT company
Worsts company ever GoDaddy, I have seen people selling this with a CMS like Wordpress with woo commerce, then they offer as a best option for small business. Then they get site hack and no one respond because the support is not part of the bundle. daddy will charge more to recover if there’s something to recover.
I do agree with you.
I am currently not able to sign in to my outlook email address after my administrator migrated to go daddy. Still trying to figure out what is going on
Let us know if you need help
I would like to understand the timing and cost of your service offered here. Thanks, Chip
Hey, please send me an email at jonathan@integral-it.co.uk
True, i am experience this tight now
Haven't figured out yet (but when I do I will update this) - but I can't figure out what you are talking about when you say MS 365 from GoDaddy is inferior - unless you are talking about downloaded apps, which you clearly are not. Where do you get your information that GoDaddy has "re-skinned" MS 365 and is offering an inferior version? How can I tell this when logged in? What you have not mentioned is what happened to me: I just installed the apps from my GoDaddy Business Professional (web-based) subscription.. and the version turned out to be 2016 once installed. That is a much-outdated version, and GoDaddy gave no advance warning of this fact. Not sure if they have anything to do with it. It is probably like you are mentioning, the fact that I have now got two MS 365 accounts, one personal (that entitles me to MS Office 2016) and this other through GoDaddy that *could* entitle me to download later apps, but somehow the wrong account is getting looked up. I will edit this comment when I get to the bottom of it, but I had to first raise the point that I can't see how GoDaddy could have "re-skinned" MS Office and offered an inferior version for web-based users.
Hey Jonathan, how do i migrate my existing Godaddy M365 to Original M365?
Drop me an email
I have a customer with over a 100 users on Godaddy...They suck so bad! Moving off of them is a nightmare!
Wish I would have seen this. I noticed issues when they switched to exchange. I moved my domain to other providers, to test them out, and have not been happy w/a few. Now I'm left trying to figure out an email wk around for my sm biz if I stay as the email issues continue, from sign in isssues, to shutdowns and random problems happening to dns records affecting email. Getting tired of it.

Is it complicated to migrate? I wonder if it’s a good idea to test the Minimum Viable Product with the GoDaddy integration and then migrate after the business is successfully market tested.
Once profitability has been achieved, the migration would be the next priority reinvestment used for the yearly fees Microsoft charges through the app store on a Macbook.
Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems that GoDaddy allows for monthly fees.
If this is true that would allow to run several pilot protects simultaneously with the same initial investment amount and filter out only the good “seeds” that grow the businesses organically.
I would love to work with your business to execute the migration of the businesses that are successful
I'm aware that Microsoft 365 Email Essentials email uses MS exchnage mail server and each email / domain has it's own uniquie IP and that the "proffessional" email can log into MS online .. but Godaddy will not clarify if it uses a group / shared IP or if each has it's own IP
question.. sorry.. is microsoft 365 email essentials if just now got Microsoft 365 business standard?
I think mail essentials is a GoDaddy term? That doesn’t exist in Microsoft 365
I like Godaddy but detest Microsoft, so is there a company based email service other than MS, or did I miss something on you well done youtube vid?
You could use Google email?
Why would you Migrate a GoDaddy-MS365 customer to a new tenant instead of simply defederating the tenant away from GoDaddy?
That’s another option today.
Thank you this is so spot on. I fell in the trap and got 365 through GoDaddy. A horrible, frustrating experience just slowing my new business down. It's almost impossible to create teams/groups without hassle and complications. Unfortunately, I will need to migrate back to MS. I'm not looking forward to learning how to do that efficiently.
Drop us a line if you’d like us to do it for you
@JonathanEdwards Will do thanks. I just don't want to lose the domain and email I already established via GoDaddy. This can be done remotely, correct? And approximately how long will it take?
What about Hostsinger?
So if I cancel my GoDaddy 365 product (grandfathered in Email Essentials from GoDaddy) that is up for renewal in a few days who/how will my email (5 mailboxes) be hosted? Can I just get a personal or family Microsoft 365 license and set up my Outlook to work that easy (and cheaper)?? I have Office Pro Plus 2021 on my main PC and Outlook on my mobile device. HELP! I'm confused. Have I been wasting money having both? And while my 5 mailboxes are my business domain do I actually have to buy a business license and pay more? I have a 15 month Family license here ready to go. $100 at Costco with a $10 gift card rebate.
I could literally watch you talk about anything 😆🤣
I wish I had seen this...I got 365 through Go Daddy...now I am feeling very stuck! I want to get out of it! But my renewal is coming up next week...
How many mailboxes do you have?
@@bearded365guy just one. I am a lone wolf in my business:)
@@whereswendy what problems are you having? Just one mailbox on GoDaddy is usually OK. It’s just as you grow you might have problems
@@bearded365guy just the cost goes up and it’s frustrating! But I am likely just staying for now.
I hear you @wendyharris3022. Same thing.
Thank you
Not just Microsoft 365. I say GoDaddy just walk on by. From personal experience once you start and develop your business they have your private parts in a vise to squeeze ever increasing money from you. Gees that could apply to Microsoft also.
Thanks Ron. We agree!
Microsoft 365 with GoDaddy has horrendous sign in problems. It is slow, lagging and freezing. Not recommended.
I already have sign up for the 365 on GoDaddy. I want to deactivate and use personalised hosted email server on GoDaddy itself. Is that possible?
This is where I am too did you find a way ?
Godaddy deleted my primary admin email unbenounced to me. I found out after all my companies files disappeared from the onedrive cloud despite sharing ownership with my secondary admin account, I cant seem to contact Microsoft because every link sends me back to godaddy who says they cant restore my files since the email was deleted 30days ago. Can Microsoft restore them, that is if I can find a awy to contact them directly? All phone numbers online lead back to "online support which links me back to godaddy. I have 50 employees who depend on me.
Gosh, that isn’t good. Where are you based?
I have exactly the same problem, all my OneDrive files are inaccessible, and I have not been able to recover them, monitoring of projects, plans, diagrams, meeting minutes, completely inaccessible, I cannot connect, it sends error 0x8004de8a, if you know any solution for that, please Please let me know, I'm desperate HELP
How do I migrate from GOdaddy
You can migrate or defederate
Absolutely true
Thanks, but can anyone let me know how you do that
How to move?
We want to move away from GoDaddy but not sure how to move (emails, domain, website) without this causing an issue for our company.
Contact me and I will help.
@@bearded365guyI want to setup domain and email and I don’t want to use godaddy after seeing this video. Can you please suggest any other provider ?
Microsoft direct
Subbed!
ARG! I currently have microsoft 365 and so far so good no problems. But I also have godaddy and they recently advised my microsoft 365 will expire in march 2023 and i have to renew or they will cancel! What do I do or is it a gimmick to make me us/pay godaddy 365? My official microsoft 365 direct with them doesnt expire until 11 2023! My IT guy has been using 365 direct through godaddy for years without using godaddy 365. I wonder are they stopping this and forcing the change and you must go through godaddy?
So there are two things here - your domain name, the @domain.com
This can reside with GoDaddy
But try and move your Microsoft 365 away from GoDaddy before it expires.

bwahahhaha "No Daddy" nice one. thx for the tips.
How to migrate from go daddy to some other server, who has some genuine application for checking e mails. go daddy is fraud.. Can you please advice...
Don't use GoDaddy for anything if you ask me. Avoid them like COVID
I'm very sad to watch your video after I just bought Microsoft 365 Emails from Godaddy :( I already started having problems. I wanted to buy Microsoft 365 Apps for Business from Microsoft, but I couldn't make the setup because the system says my domain is already used in another panel on Godaddy. I don't know hot to solve this issue. For Business packages they say both emails and apps should be on the same server for one domain.
Hello bro! I am struggling to log in my microsoft 365 family to godaddy.
so i have an exisisting account of microsoft 365 family back before i brought a domain from go daddy. i tried adding my microsoft account to go daddy microsoft 365 and it wont let me log in it keeps saying " your account doesnt exist in our system". i hope you read this comment
I’m afraid you’d have to contact GoDaddy support 😫
@@bearded365guy i already did, they said microsoft 365 and GoDaddy 365 is completely different types of subscription you cannot use Microsoft 365 to godaddy
Skip to 3:30 😮💨
I have problem with godaddy domain that I can’t use Microsoft 365 portal, it will Direct me back to godaddy website which shows no options .
I wanted to upgrade my subscription from free to pro for Microsoft Power bi but there is no option for that.
Does anyone had similar issue that has been solved? Will love to hear that.
Thanks
Yes, that is what happens. You need to move your services away from GoDaddy
😫 I despise that I fell for this scam! I need help fixing it!!! I have to keep my emails but I want to do away with this crap email! I HATE IT!!!
So which do you recommend?
Just go with Microsoft
The video would have been more useful if you gave an alternate for people to used. To me, just mentioning the problems with no solution is pointless.
I thought I did? Use Microsoft direct.
As a mac user I hate Microsoft office
haha, I liked the "No Daddy"
GoDaddy hides functionality for one drive and make managing a 1TB one drive account useless. Aggravating and hardly a solution for a small business unless you want your business to fail.
You can retain a consultant, pay MS for offshore support, or get everything in one place but no Azure integration. Otherwise this video is a shameless promotion.
Promotion for what?
And here I am blaming Microsoft…save this vid!
It's always funny to me how people have issues that I have never experienced ever. I think it's just a user issue.
Are you using GoDaddy?
Is worst company ever, they sold my domain to other company
Oh my goodness!
LOL NoDaddy
When you do a video like this you loose any credibility you might have had by passing on "rumors". Stick to facts you can defend or don't do a sales video like this where you clearly are fishing for new business. We don't mind the "soft sell" if you provide value we can use from factual information.
It’s not a sales video. Businesses make a mistake if they go with GoDaddy.
I have to side with Johnathan. Godaddy is about up-selling and limiting their users scalability without purchasing add-ons. I am monumentally pissed off that I was essentially forced to migrate to Godaddy's MS365 and was told it would be at no charge. Here we are 2 years later and they want $191.00 for one year of service when I already have an MS 365 package that includes most of the MS products. My email was turned off and now I have to either figure out how to migrate to the MS subscription I am already paying for or just give in and pay Godaddy. Johnathan, I would love to have a conversation and employ your services. UUUUGGGGHHHH! Godaddy SUCKS!
