Millions of customers rely on our domains and web hosting to get their ideas online.

No. While we’re the world’s largest domain registrar and the pioneer that made domain names accessible to everyone, GoDaddy has grown into an all-in-one AI platform where you can build, run, and grow your entire business online. From just a single account, you can brainstorm your brand, generate custom websites, web apps, and online stores with AI, set up domain-based email, accept online and in-person payments, or deploy AI agents and advanced hosting. Connect everything in a few guided clicks, then focus on your idea while we take care of the technical work.

Most people searching for a web address are taking the first step toward launching a business or side hustle, which means you need a complete business starter kit and not just a URL. When you buy a domain from GoDaddy, you get competitive introductory pricing, but our support does not stop at launch. Every renewal is backed by ongoing, built-in value designed to save you time and stress down the road: 

• Over 20 free built-in features: All eligible domains automatically include free WHOIS Domain Privacy, free DNSSEC security, account-level two-factor authentication (2FA), and AI setup tools. For extra peace of mind against accidental expiration or unauthorized transfers, we also offer optional Domain Protection plans as a separate security upgrade. 
• One-click connections: Instead of manually configuring DNS records across separate vendors, your GoDaddy domain automatically connects to your site and email. 
  Brainstorm with AI: Still shaping your idea? Use the free Business Name Generator to spark ideas for creative, and available domain names tailored to your industry. 
• Explore over 500 creative extensions: If the standard .com is taken, our smart search instantly suggests memorable variations across hundreds of top-level domains (like .ai, .co, .shop, or local extensions), to help your brand stand out. 
• Pursue taken domains: Want a domain that’s already registered? Our Domain Broker Service and aftermarket tools give you a clear path to try to acquire it. 

At GoDaddy, no coding is required (unless you want to). With GoDaddy Airo AI Builder, you simply describe what you want in plain language, and our AI tool generates a working site, storefront, dashboard, or custom web app in minutes, complete with layout, tailored copy, images, and backend infrastructure. You can also start with a template to save AI credits, then refine your build through AI chat.

Depending on what your business needs, our AI Builder can power your entire creative setup:

• Business websites and web apps: Create a website with appointment scheduling, client portals, or service pages.
• Ecommerce storefronts: Launch an online store complete with product catalogs, inventory tracking, and integrated checkout.
• Custom brand identity: Generate a custom brand mark in minutes using the AI-powered GoDaddy Logo Maker.
  
  Start building with Airo AI Builder for free. On paid plans, you always own your work and can export and download your code anytime.

If you create your site with Airo AI Builder, your plan includes web hosting, an SSL certificate, and DDoS protection already built right in. Plus, paid annual plans include a free custom domain for the first year. However, if you’re building a site outside of our AI Builder, we offer dedicated hosting plans that include a 99.9% uptime guarantee, free SSL, daily backups, and a free first-year domain on annual plans:

• Managed Hosting for WordPress: Perfect if you want the limitless themes and plugins of WordPress without the maintenance headaches. We handle software updates, server-level caching, and specialized security monitoring, so you can focus on your business.
• Web Hosting: Ideal if you want flexible control panel management to host custom websites, manage multiple domains, and scale server resources as your traffic grows.

If you’d rather focus on running your business while professionals handle the build, we’ve got you covered. With GoDaddy Website Design Services, our creative experts create a custom, mobile-friendly, SEO-ready website for your brand and goals. We handle layout, copy, and imagery with your feedback along the way. After launch, update it yourself or let our team handle updates.

Once you’ve secured your name and site, GoDaddy makes it easy to run your daily operations without piecing together third-party software:

• Look professional in every inbox: Customers are far more likely to trust a domain-based email (you@yourbrand.com) over a generic free email address. Setting up Professional Email takes just a few clicks, because GoDaddy automatically configures the background DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM).
• Get discovered and grow: With our built-in marketing and SEO tools, you can easily manage your social media presence, optimize your search rankings, and reach new customers right from your dashboard.

Yes – whether you want a 24/7 AI assistant to automate daily business tasks or full terminal control over your stack, GoDaddy makes advanced deployment simple:

• One-click AI agents with OpenClaw VPS Hosting: Launch your own private, always-on AI assistant in minutes with zero SSH, Docker, or terminal setup required. Hosted on an isolated VPS so you own your data, OpenClaw connects directly to WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, and 50+ tools to handle customer questions, manage messages, and run automated workflows 24/7.
• Fast app deployment with Node.js Hosting: Deploy web apps in seconds without managing server infrastructure. Ship straight from your browser, terminal, or AI coding agents using the GoDaddy CLI and Hosting REST API. Plus, a managed MySQL database, private previews, and built-in CDN and firewall protection.
• Full server control with VPS Hosting: If you need dedicated NVMe power and root access for high-traffic sites or custom stacks, then choose Self-Managed or Fully Managed VPS plans that let you scale CPU, RAM, and storage on demand.
• Complete lifecycle Domain API: Developers managing domains at scale can automate registrations, DNS, and aftermarket workflows using GoDaddy Developer API, alongside our CLI tooling and OpenAPI specs.

GoDaddy is built so you can start small today and expand effortlessly tomorrow. As you grow, we’ll recommend next steps tailored to your stage, like adding professional email or enabling advanced security, so you always have a path forward.

Our product recommendations are designed to guide your online journey, not be requirements or forced add-ons. You'll see clear introductory and renewal pricing at checkout and stay in control. Easily upgrade, adjust auto-renew, or manage your subscriptions anytime from one dashboard.

Yes. Moving to GoDaddy gives you one unified dashboard, one-click connections between your products, and access to award-winning support to assist with your setup. We offer guided migration tools for websites and hosting, plus a free 1-year registration extension on many domain transfers.
