What it is
GoDaddy is the world's largest domain registrar. Besides domains it sells cPanel hosting, an AI site builder, Microsoft 365 email, SSL certificates and managed DNS. It has localized sites and Spanish support for several Latin American countries, and it's one of the best-known ways to register a business domain.
How to use it
- Search and register your domain, in .com or your country's extension.
- Manage DNS to point your domain to your site, email or store.
- Set up professional email with Microsoft 365 on your domain.
- Build a simple site with its builder, or get cPanel hosting for WordPress.
What it's good for
- A business launching its first site that wants domain, email and website from one provider.
- An agency registering and renewing client domains from a single account.
- A Tiendanube or Shopify store that only needs the domain and its DNS.
