When Should You Choose Tenant Migration?

Tenant-to-tenant migration is the right choice in specific scenarios where defederation alone isn't enough

Choose Tenant Migration When...

  • You want a completely fresh Microsoft 365 tenant with no GoDaddy history
  • Your organization is rebranding or changing its primary domain
  • You need to consolidate multiple GoDaddy tenants into one
  • You require a clean slate for compliance or regulatory reasons
  • You want to restructure your Microsoft 365 environment from scratch
  • Your GoDaddy tenant has accumulated legacy configurations you want to remove
  • You are merging with another company and need a unified tenant

Consider Defederation Instead If...

  • You just want to remove GoDaddy's admin control without moving data
  • You need the fastest possible solution (1-2 days)
  • You want zero downtime and zero user disruption
  • Your data volume is very large and migration would take too long
  • You want to keep all existing configurations and settings intact
  • Budget is a primary concern and you want the most cost-effective option

Our Migration Process

A structured, phased approach refined across 1,000+ successful tenant migrations

01

Discovery & Assessment

Day 1

We perform a comprehensive audit of your GoDaddy Microsoft 365 environment — inventorying all mailboxes, OneDrive accounts, SharePoint sites, Teams, licenses, and third-party integrations.

Mailbox inventory and size analysis
SharePoint and OneDrive data volume assessment
Third-party app and integration mapping
License requirements for new tenant
Custom domain and DNS review
Risk identification and mitigation planning
02

New Tenant Setup & Configuration

Day 1–2

We provision and configure your brand new Microsoft 365 tenant with all required settings, security policies, and user accounts before any data moves.

New Microsoft 365 tenant provisioning
Domain verification and DNS configuration
User account creation and licensing
Security and compliance policy setup
MFA and conditional access configuration
Exchange Online and SharePoint baseline setup
03

Pre-Migration Data Sync

Day 2–4

We begin migrating data in the background while your users continue working normally on the source tenant. This minimizes cutover downtime significantly.

Email migration (initial bulk pass)
OneDrive file synchronization
SharePoint site migration
Teams structure and files migration
Calendar and contacts migration
Incremental sync to capture new changes
04

Cutover & DNS Switch

Day 4–6

During a scheduled maintenance window (typically 4–8 hours), we perform the final data sync, switch DNS records, and redirect all email flow to the new tenant.

Final incremental email sync
MX record cutover to new tenant
User password reset and communication
Outlook and mobile device reconfiguration
Third-party app reconnection
Email flow verification and testing
05

Verification & Handover

Day 6–7

We conduct thorough post-migration testing, verify all data integrity, and provide your team with full documentation and admin access to the new tenant.

Email delivery and receipt testing
OneDrive and SharePoint access verification
Teams functionality testing
Calendar and contacts verification
Admin access handover
30-day post-migration support

Total Timeline: 3–7 Business Days

Most tenant-to-tenant migrations complete within 3–7 business days depending on data volume and organizational complexity. The cutover window (when users experience brief disruption) is typically just 4–8 hours, scheduled outside business hours to minimize impact.

What to Expect After Migration

Unlike defederation, tenant migration requires some user-side actions — we guide you through every step

Required

Password Reset

All users will receive new passwords for the new tenant. We provide a clear communication template and step-by-step guide for your team.

Required

Outlook Reconfiguration

Outlook desktop and mobile apps need to be reconfigured to connect to the new tenant. We provide automated scripts and user guides to simplify this.

Required

Mobile Device Setup

Mobile email apps (iOS Mail, Android Gmail, Outlook Mobile) need to be updated with new account credentials. Takes 2–5 minutes per device.

Required

Third-Party App Reconnection

Apps connected via OAuth (Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, etc.) need to be re-authorized with the new tenant credentials. We provide a full reconnection checklist.

Simple

Teams Re-login

Microsoft Teams requires users to sign in with their new tenant credentials. All team structures, channels, and files are already migrated and ready.

Simple

MFA Re-enrollment

Multi-factor authentication needs to be re-enrolled on the new tenant. We pre-configure MFA policies and provide user enrollment guides.

We Handle the Heavy Lifting — You Focus on Your Business

Our team provides automated reconfiguration scripts, user communication templates, and step-by-step guides for every post-migration task. We also offer a dedicated helpdesk during the first 30 days to assist your users with any questions or issues.
