Transfer from Godaddy

Hello,

I would like to migrate my 365 email account from GoDaddy to Microsoft 365. It is important to me that I do not lose any of my emails in the process. However, I am uncertain about the steps involved in this transition. Could someone please provide me with guidance on how to proceed?

  • Hey Innovationweb ,
     

    No need to migrate tenants—we can do something much simpler: Defederation.

    This process removes GoDaddy’s control and gives you full Microsoft 365 access without changing users, data, or emails.
     

    Quick Overview:
     

    • Disconnect GoDaddy from the admin backend
    • Add Microsoft licenses (GoDaddy licenses aren’t transferable)
    • Secure & update setup: reset passwords, update DNS, and optionally change your SharePoint URL
    • Finalize with zero downtime and full Microsoft access
       

    Result: You get a clean, native Microsoft 365 tenant—no restrictions, better security, full control.
     

    Let me know if you’re ready to move forward—I’ve helped many businesses with this smoothly.

     

    Best,

      I was provided with a link to the Outlook Migration Assistant software. I will give it a try and inform you whether it was successful or not. Thank you!
