HostPowr vs GoDaddy
The largest domain registrar and hosting brand in the world by customer count, with a reseller programme aimed primarily at web professionals bundling domains and hosting.
GoDaddy and HostPowr both offer reseller hosting on cPanel, but the two are aimed at different buyers. GoDaddy's product is a mass-market bundle for freelancers and agencies reselling domains and hosting to a large volume of small clients, with GoDaddy's own storefront, brand recognition and 24/7 phone support driving the buying decision. HostPowr is a smaller, EU-only host focused on the plan itself — the hardware, the panel, the renewal price, the support latency — with the reseller free to build their own brand and pick their own billing stack.
The structural differences that actually matter come down to jurisdiction, panel choice and how the plan renews. GoDaddy is a US-listed public company with US and global data centres; HostPowr operates from Europe on EU-sovereign PowrNode infrastructure. GoDaddy's reseller hosting is cPanel-based, but their shared and WordPress hosting pushes their own panel; HostPowr is cPanel across the range. GoDaddy's headline prices are first-term promotional and step up sharply on renewal; HostPowr's term price is the renewal price.
None of that means GoDaddy is the wrong answer. It is the right answer for a specific kind of reseller. The rest of this page is about which one you are.

Wat elk van beide kost
HostPowr
Reseller plans from around €19/mo, renewing at the same rate.
GoDaddy
Reseller hosting advertised from a promotional first-term rate that steps up at renewal. GoDaddy publishes both rates on their pricing page.
The renewal rate is what to compare, not the signup rate. Both change over time — check the current published figures on each side before deciding.

Welke moet u nu eigenlijk kiezen?
Kies GoDaddy als
- You want 24/7 phone support and a brand your clients already recognise
- Your business bundles domains, hosting, Microsoft 365 and marketing tools from one supplier and simplicity outweighs cost
- You are comfortable with a US parent company and its associated legal exposure
Kies HostPowr als
- You need EU-only data residency and no US parent in the processing chain
- You want the renewal rate to equal the signup rate on the term you commit to
- You prefer cPanel across the whole product range so client accounts stay portable and consistent
- You value written support in English, Dutch or French from the team that runs the servers, over 24/7 phone support
Van GoDaddy naar HostPowr verhuizen
GoDaddy reseller accounts on cPanel export as standard cPanel archives, which restore into WHM here at no cost. Accounts on GoDaddy's own shared-hosting panel need to be rebuilt on cPanel by hand — the files and databases still come across, but the panel-specific settings are re-entered. Domains can be transferred to any registrar you choose; leaving them at GoDaddy during the hosting migration keeps the site live throughout.
Vragen over GoDaddy en HostPowr
Ons oordeel
GoDaddy is the largest hosting and domains brand for a reason: broad product coverage, phone support in many languages, and instant client recognition. Choose it when those matter more than the price shape and the corporate jurisdiction. HostPowr is the better fit when you need EU-only data residency without a US parent in the chain, cPanel across the full product range, and a renewal rate that equals the signup rate.
