I’m looking for a one-stop shop where I can have a website and company email. So far, I’m debating between GoDaddy and Shopify. In your experience, which do you find to be more worth it?

    I’m a software developer. I vehemently hate GoDaddy. Horrible service that intentionally makes it difficult to work with domains outside their platform. If your intention is to set up an e-commerce store, I’d suggest Shopify.

    Godaddy is garbage; especially from a web developer perspective. Shopify hands down

    GoDaddy lost most of their customers back in the day when they showed their true colors and released a statement in support of SOPA/PIPA. Since then, the only way they’ve been able to stay afloat is with the shadiest of business practices. Steer clear of those scumbags. Shopify is a way better platform.

    Shopify is a functional ecommerce that has all the standard features that a b2c needs. As a project manager, i’ve seen time and time clients DNS records getting wiped with their domains on GoDaddy

    I use Shopify. As a beginner, it’s easy. And there’s a million YT videos showing you how to make your store look really professional so long as you use on the of the popular Shopify themes. Re: the email piece, I use a gmail business account like probably everyone else everywhere. But i stopped using Mailchimp and use Shopify’s customer email tool and it’s pretty good for basic email marketing. Great way to save some money on a standalone email marketing platform.
