How T3CHS Is Different
We are a small company built for local businesses. Here is what that means in practice.
- One team for everything. Domain, hosting, email and SSL are set up and supported by the same people.
- Written quotes. Our prices are not posted yet. We send a written quote that shows the first term and the renewal price side by side.
- Your name stays yours. Domains are registered to your business, and we hand over the transfer code if you leave.
- Built for trades. We set up sites around the jobs you do and the towns you serve. See websites for your trade.
We are newer and smaller than the companies we compare ourselves to. If you want the biggest brand or a do it yourself builder, one of them may suit you better. That is fine. Pick what fits your business.
Common Questions
Can I move my domain from GoDaddy to T3CHS?
Yes, as long as the domain is more than 60 days old and unlocked. Our guide on moving off GoDaddy shows each step.
Will my email stop if I leave GoDaddy?
Not if the move is planned. If your email is Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy, it has to be moved or replaced before that plan ends. We plan that part first.
Is GoDaddy bad for small business?
No. Many small businesses use it. Compare the renewal prices, what is included and how you get support, then pick what fits.
Do you charge less than GoDaddy?
Our prices are not posted yet. Ask for a written quote and compare it with the renewal prices on GoDaddy's own pages.
T3CHS sells hosting, domains and websites, so we are not neutral. We only list facts we could check on the company's own pages, with the date we checked. GoDaddy is a trademark of its owner. T3CHS is not connected to GoDaddy.
