Specialty Service

GoDaddy Defederation Experts

Remove GoDaddy domain federation and regain full control of your Microsoft 365 tenant

What is GoDaddy Defederation?

When you purchase Microsoft 365 through GoDaddy, your domain becomes federated with GoDaddy's infrastructure. This means GoDaddy maintains partial control over your Microsoft 365 environment, limiting your administrative capabilities.

Defederation is the process of removing GoDaddy's federation and converting your Microsoft 365 tenant to a direct Microsoft subscription with full administrative control.

  • Limited control over security and compliance settings
  • Unable to purchase certain Microsoft 365 add-ons
  • Restricted Azure Active Directory configurations
  • Cannot manage advanced Exchange settings
  • Want to consolidate billing directly with Microsoft

Common Questions

What is the difference between migration and defederation?

Migration is moving email data from GoDaddy to Microsoft 365. Defederation is removing GoDaddy's administrative control over your Microsoft 365 tenant. If you purchased Microsoft 365 through GoDaddy, you likely need both services to gain full control and migrate your data.

How long does GoDaddy defederation take?

GoDaddy defederation typically takes 3-5 business days including planning, backup, defederation process, and verification. This is separate from email migration time.

Will defederation cause email downtime?

Our defederation process is designed for zero downtime. We carefully plan and execute the defederation to ensure continuous email service throughout the transition.

Can I keep my domain name after defederation?

Yes! Your domain name stays with you. We update DNS records and remove GoDaddy's federation while keeping your domain intact.

Will my email addresses change after migration?

No. Your email addresses remain exactly the same (e.g., yourname@yourdomain.com). Only the hosting platform changes from GoDaddy to Microsoft 365.

What happens to my GoDaddy subscription after migration?

After successful migration and defederation, you can cancel your GoDaddy email subscription. We recommend keeping it active for 30 days as a safety backup.

Do you handle DNS record updates?

Yes! We handle all DNS updates including MX records, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration to ensure proper email delivery and security.

Will I lose any emails during migration?

No. We perform complete data migration with verification to ensure 100% data integrity. All emails, attachments, and folder structures are preserved.
