Thinking About Leaving GoDaddy? Discover How to Gain Full Control of Your Microsoft Tenant and Boost Security

Thinking About Leaving GoDaddy? Discover How to Gain Full Control of Your Microsoft Tenant and Boost Security

If you started with Microsoft 365 through GoDaddy, you may not have full access to all the features Microsoft 365 has to offer.

GoDaddy places certain restrictions on your Microsoft 365 tenant, limiting access to the admin portal and key tools.

The good news is there’s a solution that doesn’t require migrating any data: a GoDaddy Defederation.

 

What is GoDaddy Defederation?

 

GoDaddy Defederation is the process of removing GoDaddy’s control over your Microsoft 365 account’s authentication and login management, giving you full access to Microsoft’s powerful security and productivity tools.

By defederating, your tenant’s authentication is managed directly by Microsoft, ensuring seamless integration, increased control, and enhanced functionality within the Microsoft 365 environment.

With GoDaddy Defed:

  • No Data Migration Required: All your data remains intact; defederation is simply about changing who controls your tenant’s sign-ins and security features.
  • Full Access to Admin Portal: Take advantage of Microsoft 365’s complete set of tools, which GoDaddy’s restrictions may have limited.
  • Enhanced Security and Management: Microsoft takes over the management of all user sign-ins, email settings, and security configurations, giving your organization the added protection of Microsoft’s robust infrastructure.

 

Benefits to a GoDaddy Defederation

 

Once defederated, you unlock the full power of Microsoft 365, allowing your business to access tools and settings that GoDaddy’s management structure may restrict. Here’s what this can mean for your organization:

 

Enterprise-Grade Security with Microsoft Defender for Office 365

Enjoy Microsoft’s built-in protection with features like Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to secure your accounts from phishing, malware, and unauthorized access.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Keep sensitive information safe with DLP, which restricts accidental sharing of confidential data.

Scalability to Meet Business Needs

Microsoft 365 provides a flexible, cloud-based environment that grows with your business, supporting new users and workflows with ease.

Flexible Licensing

Adjust your Microsoft 365 subscription based on your business needs, ensuring you are never over- or under-resourced.

Enterprise-Grade Security with Microsoft Defender for Office 365

Unlock the full suite of collaboration tools in Microsoft 365, such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, designed to make teamwork easier and more efficient.

Control and Customization

Through the Microsoft Admin Center, you gain control over user settings, permissions, and the ability to customize your environment to best support your business operations.
