Godaddy to Google Workspace Migration Process
Explore our specialized process for seamlessly migrating your data from GoDaddy to Google Workspace.
GODADDY TO GOOGLE WORKSPACE MIGRATION PROCESS
1. Migration Inputs
You tell us about type of GoDaddy email plan you currently have and where you host your DNS.
Here is a list of things we will need to gather from you to start migrating your GoDaddy data to Google Workspace.
2. Advance Payment
You pay a 50% advance to us so that we can commit our resources and tools to your GoDaddy to Google Workspace migration.
Since we use Stripe, you can use any major credit card to make the payment.
3. Project Organization
You follow the progress of your project at every stage through a migration project dashboard that we will be sharing with you.
Whenever you want to see what’s going on, you can check the migration tracker – our team will update it every couple of hours.
4. Google Workspace Setup
We configure your Google Workspace account following Google’s best practices so that you get the best experience.
We verify your domain.Create the SPF record. Set up DKIM. Create users, groups and aliases. Set up the resource calendar.
Everything according to Google’s recommended security settings.
5. Migration Setup
We establish connections between GoDaddy and Google Workspace servers and take care of glitches, if any.
Drumbeats…
We are ready to roll.
Now the data can be smoothly extracted from your GoDaddy email servers and put into your Google Workspace mailboxes.
6. Base Migration
Data migration may take a few hours or days depending on size of you Godaddy mailboxes.
In between, while we are migrating emails, if you go on using those emails and folders, discrepancies may manifest.
Therefore, we migrate in stages. In the base stage, we migrate your old data (01-01-1990 to 30 days past today).
This way, you can keep working through your GoDaddy interface while a major portion of your data is being transferred.
Remember, no downtime.
7. Final Payment
By this time, you know that almost 90% of your GoDaddy data has been migrated to Google Workspace.
We request you to submit the remaining 50% advance.
8. Email Routing
The Internet must know that you are in a new home now and accordingly, your address must change.
This is achieved by changing your DNS (also called Mail Exchanger Routing or MX Routing).
Now, all the email under your domain begins to come to Google Workspace instead of going to GoDaddy.
9. Delta Migration
Remember we intentionally did not migrate last 30 days of data to avoid any discrepancy?
We will do it now.
The Delta phase generally doesn’t take more than a couple of hours as we only need to migrate remaining 30 days of data.
10. Your Review
You receive an email from us bearing the good news “Your data migration is completed.
Please log into your mailbox and confirm that everything looks perfect.
In all likelihood there aren’t going to be any problems, but just in case, remember that we are the professionals. We will fix them in no time.

Frequently asked questions about migrating from Godaddy to Google Workspace
Migration from one service to another, especially when you are using IT infrastructure for handling your business email, contacts and calendars, can disturb your peace of mind.
You must have been using GoDaddy for many years and even though you’re thinking of moving to Google Workspace, you know that massive amounts of your data reside on the GoDaddy servers.
What if something goes wrong?
What if you lose thousands of your emails, contacts, or calendar schedules?
What if the chronology of all your email threads – your critical negotiations and conversations that you have had with your customers and clients – go topsy-turvy and after the migration, you can make no sense of what you’re talking about?
We totally understand the gravity of the situation.
Therefore, we have designed and evolved our GoDaddy to Google Workspace migration service in such a manner that one, it happens without disrupting your ongoing business activities, and two, every bit of information is migrated/transferred intact, as it is.
That is, total peace of mind.
Absolutely.
Over the years we have observed that one of the biggest problems businesses all over the world face while trying to migrate from one service to another is the downtime that they have to suffer due to all the processes involved.
Our proprietary migration process achieves two things for you.
The entire GoDaddy to Google Workspace migration happens without obstructing your ongoing business communications and operations.
We follow a “latest to oldest” migration strategy that enables you to resume your business activities on Google Workspace coming Monday even if your entire gamut of emails, contacts and calendar entries hasn’t yet been transferred.
The data of the past two years can be easily transferred within a weekend and this gives you enough traction to carry on your business while the rest of the data is brought to the new Google Workspace server with great care.
Of course, you can do it on your own.
After all, it is your data, your account on GoDaddy, your account on Google Workspace, and above all, your business.
But before you decide to migrate on your own, give it a thought to why migration services like ours exist. Why do people hire us?
The thing is, and we don’t mean to scare you or anything, there are zillions of things that can go wrong during the migration and even a small oversight or mistake can have a cascading effect.
Special tools are required to migrate all your email threads, contacts and calendar entries with the same chronology.A distinct methodology is needed to ensure that there is no downtime during the migration.
So, if you can risk losing your data, if you can risk causing disruptions to your business communications, and if you can risk the consistency of years of email threads, then sure, go ahead.
