Same numbers we'd want if we were choosing. Prices verified from public pricing pages.
SrvBot vs GoDaddy
| Feature | SrvBot | GoDaddy |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal price honesty | Flat rate — the price you sign up at is the price you renew at, forever | Intro price roughly 2.5× lower than the renewal rate (Basic: $5.99 → $14.99/mo) |
| Migration | Done for you, free — we handle the whole move | Free self-service migration wizard; paid done-for-you option available at extra cost |
| Human support on every plan | Real humans over chat and email, every day | Chat and phone support available; GoDaddy has a large support team |
| Daily backups with restore-drill | Daily backups + a tested restore-drill so you know recovery actually works | Daily backups available on Managed WordPress plans; no published restore-drill process |
| Public live status page | status.srvbot.io — real uptime and response times | Public status page at status.godaddy.com showing per-service status and incident history; does not publish response-time metrics |
| Brand recognition and ecosystem | Specialist WordPress host | Stronger here: one of the world's largest domain registrars — many customers already have domains, email, and billing in GoDaddy, which lowers switching friction |
| CDN included | CDN included on all plans | Cloudflare CDN included on Managed WordPress plans |
| WordPress-focused hosting | WordPress-only managed hosting — no distractions | Managed WordPress option alongside a broad product catalogue; upsell pressure is common |
| Price transparency | Single published price — no intro/renewal split | Intro rate prominently advertised; renewal rate in fine print |

Common questions
Yes — we do the whole migration for you at no extra charge. We handle the file transfer, database export, DNS update, and a post-move sanity check.
GoDaddy's Basic plan is $5.99/mo for the first 36 months, then $14.99/mo at renewal — nearly 2.5× more. SrvBot's $29/mo (or $19/mo founding rate) stays flat from day one through every renewal.
No. You can keep your domain at GoDaddy and just point it to SrvBot. Domain registrar and web host are independent — you don't need to transfer anything.
SrvBot support is real humans over chat and email, every day — no tiers, no bots as the first line. GoDaddy has a large support organisation, which means more availability but also more routing steps before you reach someone who knows your account.
Switching from GoDaddy is free
