Hi. I am in over my head and asking for help. Around 20 years ago I had an email and domain name only package with Go Daddy. We have four email addresses for the family. It went from under 20 bucks a year to a couple hundred dollars a year. If it makes a difference, I don’t use the webpage, just the email. Go Daddy used to have their own email platform but now use Outlook online. On our phones we just use the email app.

I understand there are other companies out there that will host my email, but I’m not sure how I would switch to another company without losing all of my archives of saved emails. For each account.

I am in over my head. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. Is there any other service I can switch to that might be less money than Go Daddy that would allow me to keep my emails?

I have searched Reddit, but can’t seem to get a firm understanding. on our phones we just use the email app. I will appreciate any and all advice about how I can get what I’m looking for. Thank you so much.

    I’d recommend switching to Office 365 and you can keep the domain with godaddy but cancel their email hosting so it should be around $20 a year for that and then the cheapest plan for Office 365 is $10 per user. Since godaddy also uses outlook, it should be relatively easy to move the data over.

      The hard part is migrating. Basically, GoDaddy acts as an MSP for your O365 mail. So you have to do a migration (at least if you care about not losing everything) to your new instance of O365 Outlook. It sucks and you’re going to pay, either frustration or $.
