Google domain registration migration to GoDaddy

Will this migration impact my Workspace subscription?

No, this migration won't impact your Workspace subscription. However, to ensure that your next domain registration renewal is seamless, review your domain contact information (and update it, if needed) in the Admin console before your domain migrates to GoDaddy.

As soon as you receive the email from GoDaddy about your new account, sign in and add your domain subscription billing information.

Which account contacts will be notified of these changes?

Google will email your Workspace account's primary administrator at least 30 days before the domain migration. This email will include all the important details about the migration, including when it will occur. After your domain has migrated, GoDaddy will email your domain contact with further instructions.

If you don't know your Workspace account's primary administrator, or if you'd like to update your account's secondary contact, go to Ensure you receive critical notifications.

If you don't know your GoDaddy account domain contact, or if you'd like to update your domain contact before your domain is migrated, go to GoDaddy Domains Help or contact GoDaddy support.

What if my GoDaddy domain account information is incorrect or outdated, and I can't sign in to my GoDaddy account?

If you can't sign in to your GoDaddy account before your domain is migrated:

1. Review your GoDaddy account sign-in information in your Google Admin console. Go to Menu Account Domains Manage domains View Details.
2. Sign in to your GoDaddy account.
3. Update your domain contact details. For the steps, go to Edit my domain contact info.

If your domain contact information isn't in the Admin console, or if you still can't sign in to your GoDaddy account, contact Google Workspace support.

If you can't sign in to your new GoDaddy account after your domain has migrated, or if your domain subscription isn't available in the Admin console:

1. Go to the GoDaddy domains sign-in page to retrieve your username or reset your password.
2. Sign in to your new GoDaddy domains account.
3. Update your contact details. For the steps, go to GoDaddy Domains Help.

When will my domain be migrated to GoDaddy?

Your domain migration start date will be emailed to your Workspace account's primary administrator and GoDaddy account domain contact. Keep in mind that the migration date might not occur on the exact date noted.

Google will email your Workspace account's primary administrator and GoDaddy account domain contact after the migration is complete.

What will I be charged for my domain at the next renewal?

GoDaddy will contact you about domain subscription pricing at least 30 days before your domain registration renewal date.

If my domain registration was previously set to auto renew, do I need to take action?

Yes. After your domain has been migrated, you must sign in to your new GoDaddy account to enter your billing information and, if needed, update your contact information. After you complete these steps, your domain registration is set to auto renew by default. You can change this setting in your GoDaddy account.

When will my domain registration expire?

Before your domain migrates to GoDaddy, you can check your domain registration expiration and renewal dates in the Admin console. For details, go to Manage domain registration renewals.

After your domain migrates to GoDaddy, you can check your domain registration expiration and renewal dates in your GoDaddy account.

Will I receive a cancellation notification for my Google Domain subscription?

Yes. After your domain is migrated, we'll email you confirmation that your Google Domains subscription has been canceled. This notice confirms that you no longer have an active Google Domains subscription. However, your domain subscription is still in effect and can be managed in your new GoDaddy domains account.

Additionally, GoDaddy will send you a welcome email with the sign-in details for your new GoDaddy account.

If I have an existing GoDaddy account, can the domain be added to my existing account, or can the newly created account be merged with my existing account?

No. If you purchased a GoDaddy domain when you signed up for Workspace, that domain can't be added to or merged with your existing GoDaddy account.

If you want to merge an existing GoDaddy account with your new GoDaddy account, contact GoDaddy support after your new account is created. Note that merging accounts could impact your domain registration renewal pricing.
