So a lot of people go to GoDaddy for domains and website building and things like that. Josh: Biggest reason I've seen is they don't know any better. Hence why, if you've ever taken a look at what you have control over,you really don't have much control over the licenses. They're essentially just leasing the licenses to you. What I mean by that is if you get your licenses through GoDaddy, you don't actually own the license, GoDaddy does. They're sort of a weird in-between licenses. And so essentially the license is provided by GoDaddy. Let's go ahead and start selling Office 365. So GoDaddy is what's called a Microsoft Partner, just like BEMO but GoDaddy has a special sort of a partnership with Microsoft where they provide the domains for Microsoft and I guess at some point in the past, they decided, you know what, we're already doing all of the domains for Microsoft. What's the deal with GoDaddy's Office 365? Like how did that come about? What is it?
They offer you this versus going with a partner or buying directly from Microsoft. So something that you get from GoDaddy, when you're signing up for, you know, your brand new company website, etc. So today we are talking with Josh Franklin about GoDaddy's Office 365 versus Microsoft's Office 365. Prefer to read about it? Check out the full transcript: We will learn more about this trap and what to do if you've found yourself in its clutches. Since this is an everyday question, I figured it might be good to reach out to Josh and get a little more detail as to what GoDaddy offers when it comes to Microsoft products and why our customers often describe GoDaddy as a “trap”. My business is expanding but we are trapped by the licensing limitations. Josh Franklin is often the first point of contact for customers at BEMO and every day he hears the same thing: “I need to migrate off of GoDaddy. Yikes! Sound bleak? While yes, the optimal situation would be not to start with GoDaddy in the first place, it's completely understandable why people do (hello discounted licensing and sneaky marketing! 👋). The only problem? Once you've outgrown GoDaddy there are only two options: stagnate or migrate.
What's happened to you is what's happened to countless other growing small businesses: they've outgrown GoDaddy.
