We use Godaddy Webmail

If you are using Godaddy Webmail, then we will need email address and password of each of your users to migrate their data.

This password is used programmatically by our data migration utility which does not save any data except reporting stats like how many emails are migrated, success percentage etc.

Reference Reading : Why are passwords needed?

We use Godaddy Office 365

If you are using Office 365 from Godaddy, We will need an Office 365 account with global administrator rights.

You can either provide us your existing Office 365 global/super administrator credentials, otherwise you can create a new user in Office 365 and assign global/super administrator permission to it.

We can migrate Email, Calendar and Contacts in this case.

We are not sure of our Godaddy Plan

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about migrating from Godaddy to Google Workspace

What do you mean by piece of mind migration?

Migration from one service to another, especially when you are using IT infrastructure for handling your business email, contacts and calendars, can disturb your peace of mind.

You must have been using GoDaddy for many years and even though you’re thinking of moving to Google Workspace, you know that massive amounts of your data reside on the GoDaddy servers.

What if something goes wrong?

What if you lose thousands of your emails, contacts, or calendar schedules?

What if the chronology of all your email threads – your critical negotiations and conversations that you have had with your customers and clients – go topsy-turvy and after the migration, you can make no sense of what you’re talking about?

We totally understand the gravity of the situation.

Therefore, we have designed and evolved our GoDaddy to Google Workspace migration service in such a manner that one, it happens without disrupting your ongoing business activities, and two, every bit of information is migrated/transferred intact, as it is.

That is, total peace of mind.

Can you really migrate from Godaddy to Google Workspace within in a Weekend?

Absolutely.

Over the years we have observed that one of the biggest problems businesses all over the world face while trying to migrate from one service to another is the downtime that they have to suffer due to all the processes involved.

Our proprietary migration process achieves two things for you.

The entire GoDaddy to Google Workspace migration happens without obstructing your ongoing business communications and operations.

We follow a “latest to oldest” migration strategy that enables you to resume your business activities on Google Workspace coming Monday even if your entire gamut of emails, contacts and calendar entries hasn’t yet been transferred.

The data of the past two years can be easily transferred within a weekend and this gives you enough traction to carry on your business while the rest of the data is brought to the new Google Workspace server with great care.

What if we want to do the migration on our own?

Of course, you can do it on your own.

After all, it is your data, your account on GoDaddy, your account on Google Workspace, and above all, your business.

But before you decide to migrate on your own, give it a thought to why migration services like ours exist. Why do people hire us?

The thing is, and we don’t mean to scare you or anything, there are zillions of things that can go wrong during the migration and even a small oversight or mistake can have a cascading effect.

Special tools are required to migrate all your email threads, contacts and calendar entries with the same chronology.A distinct methodology is needed to ensure that there is no downtime during the migration.

So, if you can risk losing your data, if you can risk causing disruptions to your business communications, and if you can risk the consistency of years of email threads, then sure, go ahead.

Having said that, we are an experienced GoDaddy to Google Workspace migration service that helps businesses transition from multiple cloud services to Google Workspace, as a living.

Since we have been providing migration services for years, there is practically every situation we have tackled and every problem we have solved.

In fact, our entire migration process has been evolved keeping all the problems and predicaments that can crop up during GoDaddy to Google Workspace migration, especially if you have years of emails (the number can easily run into hundreds of thousands).

Hence, you have two options:

1. Do the migration on your own and risk losing your emails, contacts and calendar entries and on the top of that, risk a prolonged downtime.

2. Assign the job to us, have a nice weekend, and resume your business through your brand-new Google Workspace setup.
