How Do You Share Access to Your GoDaddy Account?

Tech Talk

If you're hosting your website on GoDaddy, there is an easy way to share access to the account if you need help with DNS or other settings. And here is a way to share access with vendors or developers without sharing your direct login information.

It's always best to use the sharing tools built within a service instead of your personal username and password. It gives you more options for what someone else can control within the account, like your domain, products, and/or billing. And it also makes it easy to remove and add as many different people as you like.
