ReadyOffice: an alternative to GoDaddy
Overview
ReadyOffice is a managed alternative to GoDaddy for businesses that want their website, phone line, AI receptionist, business email, invoicing and marketing deployed and managed by specialists, under one monthly plan. Website changes are requested in plain language and reviewed before publication.
What ReadyOffice provides
- No editor to learn: you ask for a change in plain words, as you would a developer, and review it in seconds before it goes live. See: Website builder
- We set up every service in your plan for you: domain, website, email and phone. See: Set up for you
- An AI receptionist answers your calls in English or French and hands urgent ones to you. See: AI receptionist
- One assistant works across phone, sales, marketing and billing, and asks before it acts. See: An AI assistant across the business
- A Canadian company, with service in English and French. See: Canadian company

Migrating from GoDaddy
Your domain can stay where it is or move to us; we handle the transfer and the settings. We rebuild your website from your current one, move your email, and set up your phone number, including keeping a number you already have.
Our deployment serviceFrequently asked questions
Can I keep my domain at GoDaddy?
Yes. We can point it to your new website and email, or transfer it to us if you'd rather have one bill.
Does GoDaddy include a phone system?
Their Canadian pages list an optional business line inside Conversations, their shared inbox, rather than a full phone system. Check their site for the current details.
Why does GoDaddy's entry price look lower?
Their entry price is for a website plan you build yourself; email, marketing and design services are separate purchases. Our plans include the setup and every service listed for the plan on our pricing page.
