Hoping someone here might be able to help with this one.

About to register a domain on go daddy. I would like to have the email address to (e.g hello@extratbusiness.com for example)

I already have an office 365subscription.

Is it as easy as buying their cheapest option (about 4GBP per month) for use with my Office subscription or do I need to buy any other option?

Cheap option will be fine but their hosting is slow and painful, so if you are using it for a business website I'd look at another host and just use GoDaddy for your domain name.

Definitely this.

Exactly what I’m doing!

I’m always wary of “easy/all in one options” because you’re usually tied down later... and as this is PH... it’s a bit like learning to drive on an automatic, you’d never be allowed to drive a Manual!

Thanks all!

For the love of God do not use Godaddy for ANYTHING! They are an absolute rip off and charge you for things they never deliver. The only reason I have to deal with them is because some expired domains only become available through them, but even then I try to move them away as soon as possible.

I cannot reiterate this enough. Their domain fees are a joke and it is a massive pain in the a$$ to transfer away from them.
