Alternative to GoDaddy Website Builder
GoDaddy Website Builder is a popular website builder. Hoila is something else: an assistant that looks after your website. You write what should change — in the app, by e-mail or on WhatsApp — and Hoila makes the change as a draft, shows it to you and only publishes it when you say yes.
What GoDaddy Website Builder is good at
GoDaddy Website Builder is a simple hosted builder from the well-known domain company, often bought together with a domain.
- Very quick to set up, next to your domain.
- Simple sections you fill in.
- Domain, e-mail and website from one provider.
When GoDaddy Website Builder is the better choice
- You want a one-page site in minutes and nothing more.
- You prefer having everything with one big provider.
When Hoila is the better choice
- Your website should grow with your business.
- You want a local company in Switzerland to talk to.
- Changes should take one message, with preview and undo.
GoDaddy Website Builder and Hoila side by side

|---|---|---|
| How you make a change | In the editor | Write a message: in the app, by e-mail or on WhatsApp |

| Updates and upkeep | Done by the provider | Done by Hoila, with undo |
| Your own web address | Yes | Yes, registered in your name (paid plans) |

Moving from GoDaddy Website Builder to Hoila
Hoila copies your GoDaddy Website Builder website as it is — pages, images and forms. You confirm that it is yours with a link we send to an address of the website, look at the preview and publish. Your web address can stay the same.
Questions about GoDaddy Website Builder and Hoila
Can I keep my GoDaddy domain?
Yes. You keep the domain where it is and point it to Hoila, or move it later — it stays registered in your name.
What about my e-mail addresses?
They can stay with your current provider. Changing where the website is hosted does not move your mailboxes.
Can I try Hoila for free?
Yes. The free plan includes one website or app. You can upgrade or cancel any time, and take everything with you.
Who makes the changes in Hoila?
An AI assistant (Claude, made by Anthropic) does the work, and you decide what goes online. Every change is a draft first, and every earlier version is kept, so you can always go back.
