FAQ

Switching from GoDaddy — your questions answered

Why is GoDaddy's renewal price so high?
GoDaddy uses low intro pricing as a customer acquisition strategy. They recoup margin on renewals — often charging 2–4× the intro rate in year two. This is legal and disclosed in fine print, but it catches people off guard. Their model is built on the assumption that switching is a hassle.
Is switching from GoDaddy to another host difficult?
No. We handle the technical migration for free. Your files, email, and DNS settings transfer without downtime. The main step for you is updating your domain's nameservers — a 2-minute process we walk you through.
Can I transfer my GoDaddy domain to you?
Yes. Domain transfers are straightforward: unlock your domain at GoDaddy, get the EPP/authorization code, and initiate the transfer here. The process takes 5–7 days and keeps your domain live throughout.
Will I get a free domain if I switch from GoDaddy?
If you're starting fresh or your current domain is up for renewal, yes — the free domain offer applies to new annual plans. If you're transferring an existing domain, you won't need the free domain offer, but we can transfer your domain and host your site on the same plan.
What's the actual total-cost difference over 2 years?
It depends on the plan, but the pattern is consistent: GoDaddy's year 2 hosting cost is often significantly higher than year 1. Our year 2 price is the same as year 1. For businesses that stay more than a year (which most do), the savings add up.
