Shopify Or Godaddy? The Easiest Way to Build an Ecommerce Store in 2018
🔥Edit: You Can Try Shopify for Free.
Have a great idea for a tee shirt shop, an apparel store, a “summer passion project” or a home based side hustle and need a world class online platform for delivering the goods?
We get a lot of questions from fans, friends, followers and subscribers about picking the right “hosting” platform for an ecommerce store, and many of our readers struggle between differentiating between Shopify and Godaddy. They really AREN’T the same thing of course, or aren’t really an apples to apples analogy, but that doesnt’ stop many newcomers to the online ecommerce universe from wondering which one is best for them.
Godaddy does A LOT of things pretty well (if “domain-ing” is your area of interest) but they are NOT the optimum choice for those of you looking to build an ecommerce blog, brand or business.
Shopify, on the other hand, IS.
The top reasons to pick Shopify over Godaddy.
1. There isn’t really a direct comparison! (Shopify is an commerce platform, Godaddy is essentially a registrar, with many other services thrown in — like web hosting, which would be where the comparison *may* start to fit)
2. Shopify is an all in one solution for a shop/brand or business
3. Great looking themes. (both free and premium — no comparison with the very basic styles available on a Godaddy driven free shop or site)
4. Much faster performance for low cost plans (Godaddy hosting for shared servers is really bad performance wise — Shopify, even on the slowest plan ($29) you are getting great speed and performance
5. FOCUS on your brand, business and making sales. (not tech, hosting and headaches — Shopify is no stress, no mess, just out of the box performance — worry about what MATTERS (marketing and sales) and what you LOVE (not the behind the scenes tools and tech that you don’t)
