godaddy email $72 to $192, per account, per year ?!?!?
Help with GoDaddy email or other options for business mailbox?
Workspace email
GoDaddy used to give away free Workspace email with the purchase of a domain. Workspace email can still be kept if you convert it to a paid plan. Workspace is about the same price as Office 365 though, and GoDaddy offers migration from Workspace to O365. Might as well do this because Workspace sucks and is going away eventually. O365 will be the only email service offered by GoDaddy in the future.

Hi,
My friend has a low traffic basic site using godaddy site builder. company info, pictures, contact info. No e-commerce or customer interactivity at all.
Friend signed up for godaddys minimum plan, and somehow got upsold on who knows what totaling $1000 his first year for his webpage.
Today, friend told me in addition to the $1000, they were told it cost an additional $72 per email address, per year.
Thinking this is clearly wrong, I had a look.

Despite charging you an additional fee for trash 360 webmail, none of these plans actually say email hosting.
Looking a little further. holy shit..**.**email accounts really are $72 to $192, per email address, per year ?!?!? Can that be real?

Am I missing something? Does go daddy just fool you in with (really just average) pricing, deny you email accounts, and then wack you with with up charges? I under stand upselling shit because everyone does it, but $72 minimum per email account, is that just extortion at that point?
For comparison, I host two domains with unlimited email accounts and bandwidth for $150 a year on inmotion hosting... and that's not even new user competitive rates.
Someone set me straight here do they really sell a web hosting package with no email hosting or am I understanding this incorrectly.
update:
the comments keep saying there is a basic email, but no one can actually point to where it says that on godaddys website. Email aliases are not new separate email accounts. I just helped friend with account. There is no option anywhere. Everything is a reoccurring $72 per email account using 360 only. I did get to workspace control center which you can create emails...but, they are locked out of doing so once logged in saying to call customer service phone number if you want email. then customer service wants the insane Microsoft subscription email fee. On top of already paying 10x the average price to host a fucking webpage with restaurant menu.
This is the most predatory hosting company I have ever come across.
