Both come with a domain.
Only one comes with a website.
GoDaddy is a registrar that added a builder. This page is about which half you are buying.
GoDaddy puts everything on one bill.
The domain, the hosting, the email and the marketing tools all come from one company and arrive on one invoice, and if that is what you want then it is a real advantage and we do not have it. What arrives with it is a builder that was added to a registrar, and a site made of template sections that you keep up yourself.
SiteSpin makes the opposite trade. You answer questions, we make the design decisions, and when something needs changing you say what is different.
What it takes to do the same thing.
Seven questions, answered for both. Four of them GoDaddy answers better, and those are on the list because leaving them off would make the other five worth less.
Their AI hands you a draft and then hands you the editor.
That sounds like a small difference and it is the whole thing, because the editor is exactly what stopped these owners having a website in the first place. Here, asking for a booking system costs you what changing the hours costs. On an editor one is a Tuesday evening and the other is a plugin hunt.
Sites that came off GoDaddy.
Three sites SiteSpin wrote. Ours, and all three live.
Any of these is you.
We would rather you read this now than find it out in a month.
Three common objections
- "But GoDaddy is cheaper at the entry tier."
- At first. GoDaddy's pricing climbs at renewal and in higher tiers, especially once you add email and marketing tools. SiteSpin Pro is one flat price, with no per-feature upsell ladder. Run the math at year three, not just year one.
- "My domain is already with GoDaddy. Can I still use SiteSpin?"
- Yes. Keep the domain at GoDaddy and point it at your SiteSpin site. The SiteSpin app shows you exactly what to copy into your GoDaddy domain dashboard.
- "What if I need email at my domain?"
- SiteSpin doesn't ship email hosting. Use GoDaddy's email service, Google Workspace, Fastmail, or your registrar's email service. Email and website are separate concerns; SiteSpin focuses on the website.
Common questions
- Can I move my GoDaddy site to SiteSpin?
- Yes. Describe your business in the SiteSpin chat using the content from your GoDaddy site. Bring your domain (it stays at GoDaddy, just pointed at SiteSpin).
- Will I lose SEO if I move?
- If your URL stays the same (you bring the domain), search engines pick up the new content within a few crawls. Your existing inbound links keep working. SiteSpin sites are built with clean semantic HTML and proper meta tags.
- Do I have to buy a domain separately?
- No. SiteSpin buys the domain and renews it, and that is inside the plan rather than a second bill. If you already own one you would rather keep, point it at your site instead: the app shows you exactly what to copy.
