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,
Ahmed Masoud
