Does GoDaddy own Office 365?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 5:17 pm

In late 2016, reports surfaced that GoDaddy was considering purchasing Office 365, which would make the company the largest owner of Office 365. The speculation came after reports surfaced that the company was in talks to buy the cloud-based productivity suite from Microsoft. However, Microsoft later denied that GoDaddy was interested in purchasing Office 365. In March 2017, GoDaddy announced that it would be making a $2 billion investment in data storage and cloud technology.

PRO TIP: GoDaddy does not own Office 365. Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription service that provides users with access to the latest version of the Microsoft Office suite of applications. GoDaddy is a web hosting and domain name registrar company.

This raised speculation that the company was planning to purchase Office 365. However, GoDaddy denied that it was interested in purchasing Office 365, and said that its investment in data storage and cloud technology was unrelated to Office 365. It is unclear whether or not GoDaddy owns Office 365.
