I feel like I haven't gotten a straight answer from GoDaddy on this.
I received an email that says my email accounts will be suspended unless I pay them for "Microsoft 365 Email Essentials Basic".
I did the "GoDaddy Workplace changeover" thing about 3 months ago, with no problems.
I know "GoDaddy is evil" and will most likely be going to another vendor if this MS 365 thing is true.

What's the difference between Office 365 and Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy?
Essentially, Microsoft 365 offers everything that Office 365 offers (such as apps), and then some. Microsoft changed the name to more closely reflect the offerings of the product which include innovative Office apps as well as intelligent cloud services.
But if you are already familiar with Office 365, you will also be familiar with Microsoft 365.
How much does Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy cost?
Pricing for Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy depends on the plan you sign up for and ranges from $4.99 per month to $11.99 per month. Here are the prices for each available plan:

Hi Jeff,
I’d like to first clarify the difference between three subscriptions you mentioned.
- Over all Office 365 business subscriptions, we don’t have Office 365 Email Essentialsvia our channel. It looks like this is a subscription from GoDaddy. Based on my research, it may include Exchange Online service. For details of this subscription, I suggest you find GoDaddy support.
- For Office 365 Business Essentials, we have this subscription and the subscription includes Office Online, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online and Skype for Business Online service. For more details, you can find it via products.office.com/.../office-365-business-essentials.
- For Office 365 Small Business, we do have this subscription and is renamed as Office 365 Business Essentials with additions and improvements via our official channel. In SharePoint aspect, Office 365 Small Business does not have SharePoint Admin Center, which is used to centrally manage SharePoint Online, compared with Office 365 Business Essential.
For “missing site deletion icons/abilities” issue, if you are looking for deleting subsite created by your own, you can delete it via navigate to the site > the gear icon > site settings > delete this site. If you are looking for deleting the three default site collection created by the system, it is not feasible to do that within Office 365 Small Business subscription.
For “service settings pages” and other issues, we need more detailed information about what service or settings you want for managing your SharePoint Online. You may capture a screenshot to help us understanding your requirement. You can upload screenshots by clicking Use rich formatting > the first Insert/Edit Media icon.
