transfer Domain godaddy to microsoft 365
,I am having headache to transfer my domain from GoDaddy to Microsoft. I have 3 days and they said that the technician from Microsoft are still working. Andi it's amazing that they have 3 days for re...
I just went through this particular issue with a client. New ownership took hold of the company and requested I migrated everything from the old owner's GoDaddy account to their Microsoft Admin portal (which contains 3 other companies). GoDaddy actually packaged up all the emails/data and put it "out to sea". They emailed me with a new password for the admin account, and I had to purchase the licenses. GoDaddy gives a 7 day grace period for that. All data was there. This saved me a ton of time. I did manual backups of the data to be safe, but did not need to migrate the data manually. I would recommend doing the same with GoDaddy.
The next step is to move the domain from GoDaddy over to Microsoft. If anyone has experience with that, please let me know. My concern is the domain being snatched up on the off chance something goes wrong.

No chance of losing the domain name if you are only transferring it from godaddy, because the actual domain registry is not being changed. Even if the registry was Godaddy, they are not deleting the domain from the world, only the managed mail from their server. This is why you transfer from godaddy's onmicrosoft portal, into MS365 portal, and all you do is change the MX record to redirect mail. you still own the actual internet domain name
