Why Move From GoDaddy Email to Microsoft 365?
GoDaddy email is fine for a handful of addresses, but growing teams outgrow it. Microsoft 365 gives you business-class Exchange email, larger mailboxes, shared calendars, Teams, OneDrive and proper security controls in one place.
The risk is in the move itself. Mailboxes, DNS records and devices all have to change together, and one wrong record can stop mail. That is why a planned migration matters.

How do I migrate from GoDaddy email to Microsoft 365?
We audit your GoDaddy mailboxes, set up your Microsoft 365 tenant and users, copy email, calendars and contacts in the background, then switch your MX records so new mail arrives in Microsoft 365. Your team keeps working during the move.
Will I lose any emails when I move from GoDaddy to Microsoft 365?
No. We copy the full mailbox history first, then run a final sync at cutover so mail that arrived in between is also moved. We verify mailbox counts afterwards.
Can you migrate GoDaddy Workspace Email (POP or IMAP)?
Yes. Workspace Email and other IMAP-based mailboxes are migrated into Exchange Online. Items that POP downloaded to a desktop client can also be brought across before the move.
What if my Microsoft 365 is sold through GoDaddy?
We can move you from a GoDaddy-resold Microsoft 365 tenant to your own tenant. This is a tenant-to-tenant migration and needs careful planning of domains, licences and user accounts.
How long does a GoDaddy to Microsoft 365 migration take?
Small teams are often done within days, and larger ones take longer depending on mailbox sizes. We agree the schedule with you before we start.
Will there be downtime?
Email keeps working throughout the copy phase. The only moment that matters is the DNS cutover, which we schedule at a quiet time and monitor until mail flows correctly.
How much does the migration cost?
Our plans above show our starting prices. The final price depends on the number of mailboxes, their size and whether you also need OneDrive, Teams or device set-up, and we confirm it in writing first.
What happens to my domain, website and DNS at GoDaddy?
Your domain and website can stay at GoDaddy. We only change the email-related DNS records, such as MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, and keep your website records unchanged.
Do you provide support after the migration?
Yes. We help your team set up Outlook on desktop and mobile, fix any issues and answer questions during the stabilisation period.
