Where to find your GoDaddy username

Your GoDaddy username is the account name you created when you first signed up, not your email address. You can find it by logging into your GoDaddy account at godaddy.com, clicking your profile icon in the top right corner, and selecting "Account Settings." Your username appears on that page next to "Username" or "Account Name." If you cannot log in because you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot your password?" link on the login page — GoDaddy will send a reset link to the email address associated with your account.

If you do not remember which email address you used to create the account, check the inbox of every email you have used with GoDaddy over the years. GoDaddy sends account confirmation emails and billing statements to the registered address, and those messages often show your username in the header or footer.

Key Takeaways

  • Your GoDaddy username is visible in Account Settings after you log in, found by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner.
  • If you cannot log in, use the password reset link on the login page to regain access to your account.
  • Check old emails from GoDaddy — confirmation messages and invoices usually display your username.
  • Your username is different from your email address and different from any domain name you own through GoDaddy.

Logging in when you remember your email but not your username

GoDaddy's login page accepts either your username or your email address in the account field. If you remember the email you used to create the account, enter that instead of your username and proceed with your password. Once you are logged in, go to Account Settings to see your actual username for future reference.

This method works even if you have changed your registered email address since you created the account. GoDaddy stores both your original username and any email addresses you have added to the account, so either one will get you in.

What to do if you cannot find any old GoDaddy emails

Contact GoDaddy support directly. You can reach them through the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of godaddy.com, or call their phone line — the number is on their website. Have ready the email address you think you used, the domain name you own (if you own one), or any billing information associated with the account. Support staff can look up your account and tell you your username.

GoDaddy support may ask you to verify your identity by answering security questions you set up when you created the account, or by confirming recent charges on the account. This process usually takes a few minutes over the phone or a few hours if you contact them by email.

Usernames for GoDaddy subaccounts and reseller accounts

If you manage multiple GoDaddy accounts or have a reseller account, each one has its own separate username. Log into the main account first, then look for a "Subaccounts" or "Reseller" section in the dashboard. Each subaccount will have its own username listed there, and you can switch between them without logging out.

If you have forgotten the username for a subaccount, the primary account holder can view it in the account management section. If you are the subaccount user but do not have access to the primary account, contact GoDaddy support with proof that you are authorized to use that subaccount.

Storing your username safely for the future

Once you have found your username, write it down in a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane. These tools encrypt your information and let you retrieve it from any device. If you use a password manager, you will not have to search for your username again — the manager fills it in automatically when you visit the GoDaddy login page.

Do not store your username in a plain text file on your computer or in an email to yourself. A password manager is more find because it encrypts the data and requires a master password to open it. If you do not use a password manager yet, storing your username there is a good reason to start.

The difference between your username, email, and domain name

These three things are separate and straightforward to confuse. Your username is the account name you chose when you signed up — it might be something like "sarah.jones" or "sjones2024." Your email address is what you use to receive messages from GoDaddy and log in if you forget your username. Your domain name is the website address you own, like "sarahjones.com" — you can own multiple domains under one GoDaddy account, but they are not the same as your username.

When you contact GoDaddy support or fill out account forms, they will ask for your username or email, not your domain name. If you give them your domain name instead, they may not be able to find your account right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my GoDaddy username?

GoDaddy does not allow you to change your username after the account is created. If you want a different username, you would need to create a new account. However, you can change the email address associated with your account at any time in Account Settings.

Is my GoDaddy username the same as my domain name?

No. Your username is your account name at GoDaddy. Your domain name is the website address you own. You can own multiple domains under one username, and you can own a domain without using it as your username.

What if I see multiple usernames in my account?

If you have subaccounts or are part of a reseller program, each account has its own username. The one you use to log in is your primary account username. Check the Subaccounts section to see usernames for any accounts you manage.

Can I log in with just my domain name?

No. GoDaddy requires either your username or your registered email address to log in. Your domain name alone will not work, even if it matches part of your username.
