The difference
Why people switch from GoDaddy.
The advertised price takes a 3-year prepay
GoDaddy’s $5.99/mo Economy price requires paying $215.64 up front for 36 months, and it renews at $11.99/mo. Minuteman is $4/mo billed yearly, $6 month to month, and it renews at exactly that.
SSL that stays free
GoDaddy’s own SSL certificate is free for the first year and $119.99 a year after that. Ours are free for every domain, renewed automatically, for as long as you host with us.
A real refund window on monthly plans
GoDaddy’s monthly plans come with a 48-hour money-back window. Every one of our plans, monthly or yearly, gets 30 days.
A modern control panel
Instead of a reskinned cPanel, you get a fast control panel with a database studio, web terminal, one-click restores, team roles and a full API.
