Should I leave GoDaddy because they are charging more than Microsoft?
Should I leave GoDaddy because they are charging more than Microsoft?
Maybe. It depends on your needs and how many services you have purchased with them. “They are charging me an arm and a leg,” is what I hear often. I will review my clients’ invoices and find that some are being overcharged due to the wrong license, too many “padded extras,” or they got talked into a 3-year “deal” and their invoice for one or two mailboxes is $700. That does seem like a lot, but it does check out.
One Exchange mailbox with full use of business apps is approximately $238 a year through GoDaddy. For three years, that is about $714. Microsoft direct pricing is around $450 over the same period. A difference of roughly $264. That is when people see it and start calling around to find help. However, before leaving GoDaddy, ask yourself one important question: Are you paying more for support and convenience, or are you paying for services you don’t actually use? Sometimes the answer is yes to both.
