I work, and have worked in the past, extensively&nbsp;with Go Daddy services.

I understand &#8230; it is a business and they are good at what they do. But I want a little peace and quiet while I am in the technical space, so to speak. Also, I admit: I am an I.T. Manager and a Windows centric Systems Administrator so &#8230; I am biased, and Azure as an all-encompassing platform is the way to go for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Microsoft nicely merging Office 365 (Outlook, SharePoint, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Lync, OneDrive) with&nbsp;its Azure (virtual servers, networks, databases, storage blobs, web sites on the fly etc), they are creating a powerful business platform that few can match. They also offer excellent pre migration&nbsp;tools and documentation to assist companies in moving from &#8220;the LAN to the CLOUD&#8221;. This is no small task, especially for those with hundreds or thousands of Active Directory users AND Exchange Server email accounts or SQL Databases sitting in a dimly lit building server room somewhere! But I digress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, Go Daddy does a fine job in the domain registration and SSL sphere, so I still will use these services.
