GoDaddy is a great hosting provider. However, not the best for DNN. With their shared hosting packages you are not able to install DNN into your root folder due to folder permission related to security. You must create a virtual directory first, therefore you if you intended to use your DNN app as your home page a redirect is required unless you dont mind the URL with the trailing folder. They do offer DNN as a "value applicatoin" with their hosting packages and can be installed from their control panel. Also, I believe that if you used the value application install option, the virtual directory that is created by default is not accessable via FTP preventing you from accessing the DNN app files.
I believe that you can avoid all of this hassle, cough up the cash and pay for a dedicated hosting package allowing you full control over the hosting server.

| i have had a dedicated server plan with godaddy.com. i am not at all happy with them.
the site is extremely slow and it appears that their HDD has a problem. this was indicated by the perf counters reading 100% disk time all the time and disk queue length more than 2 all the time..
there is no one to assist you with diagnosing the problem and i had to spend countless hours figuring out what went wrong. now i have to switch HDD i think and they wouldn't even support me with backup.
bad experience.
regards

I have 5 domain names for different purpose but Godaddy deluxe plan allow to install only 2 DNNs (2 SQL Database) then I try to use other 3 domain names with parent/child portal. When I point my domain name to the child portal directory "root/dotnetnuke/childPortal" (dotnetnuke is where in install DNN) and add http alias as www.mydomainname.com in DNN, DNN looking for App_Code directory in the child portal directory not in the DNN installed directory. That cause the error which cannot solve so far.
Any idea or suggest would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Jeeradate K. |

Thank you very much for your advice.
Godaddy support staff try very hard to solve this problem, I see from the Site log that they work very hard on this problem in my site for many hours. I had forward your advice to him. I will let you know the result as soon as it fixed.
Best regards,
Jeeradate K.

It work, at last Mr. Sean R Smith at Godaddy support did it for me but I don't know how to do that, he is document the procedure for all the users. www.beingpro.com is the domain name of the parent portal of http://www.noklek.com .
Now Godaddy's customers can host the domain name by parent portal of the DNN which install in sub directory.
I think install DNN in the sub directory is good as you can install more than one DNN installation.
Best regards,
Jeeradate K. |

Don't forget that with those plans you have only MSSQL 2000 available on godaddy and if you developed your own modules which use procedure with new features from MSSQL 2005 - you screwed you need to have MSSQL 2005 and you realize godaddy is not for you.

For my deluxe plan, I have 2 SQL Database which quite limited. I use both of them to install 2 DNN installation. If I need to develop the module I will my home PC for module developing but so far I never develope any module. I love the Godaddy support. The time they spend on my case worth more than years of hosting fee.
Godaddy is my first hosting company I have experience with. I can not say it is the best. But it is quite OK for me. |

I have used GoDaddy for 6 months for DNN and 5 years for web hosting. I am looking for another provider for several reasons:
- GoDaddy's unreasonable permissions on the root directory make installation and updating DNN a huge pain. In my case I installed in /dnn and moved the files up one level have the instal was completed. Basiclly at GoDaddy you have 3 DNN choices. 1. Use their value application and have little or no control. 2. Install in a subdirectory (/dnn) and not be vued as a "site" by Google & Yahoo or Use Redirects and loose referrer info. 3. Go thru hoops to to the install and upgrades to have your site at root.
- GoDaddy's email system keeps blacklisting IP blocks of people who send me mail, such as Border's Books. You don't hear about the blocked mail at all.
- GoDaddy's quality of support has dropped greatly during the 6 month
I will be evaluating / trying other ISPs during the next week or two and you may see my comments added for other ISPs

Wait a sec:
"Don't forget that with those plans you have only MSSQL 2000 "
- what are the disadvantages of using SQL 2000? Quite a lot of hosting providers use this as far as I can see. Can someone point me to a host that provides SQL 2005?

Bet you a buck you can't get DNN installed in the root within a week at Godaddy 
Lots of space is nice, but I just traded space for a DNN friendy provider, SQL Mgr access and pain-free backups and restores.
BTW When I left GD all new databases were SQL 2005.

Well, i am not a reseller of Godaddy, but i strongly suggest them if you have small budget.
I will update my Tutorials for DotNetNuke 4.5.3 installation to root.
MSSQL 2005 is better, for performance and reliability.
If you are rich, Discount ASP.NET is good choise, but they are expensive, support is cool.
I'm poor, so i need to continue with Godaddy, as i understand how to fight with them, no problem at all. Once i learn new things about Godaddy, i am sharing my experince with my visitors (http://www.mynetnuke.com for Global users)

Ok, thanks for all your advice! The last thing I want is a rubbish host...
Here's a quick background on my requirements:
I represent a series of churches in the UK, and we are looking to upgrade our websites one by one to add audio / video content amongst other things. For instance, for one church we wish to host 60 audio messages (15MB / message) totalling 900MB, and add 1 audio and 1 video message per week, (60MB / week). As you can see, our storage requirements will quickly reach several GB. We wish to add podcasting capability per site, and are thinking of purchasing licences for NukeSyndicate.
Now I doubt bandwidth will be that high. Its not YouTube, and the "audience" will be a small group of users. I was initially attracted to GoDaddy as they offered silly storage for a low price, however the more I hear about them the more Im thinking "stay away!"...
We don't have a lot of money, and would like to do this as cheaply as possible, however Im sure we could afford a few hundred $USD / year, especially with the awesome 2:1 £GB exchange rate 
So, baring the above in mind, does anyone have any advice as to how I may achieve this?
I also have access to unlimited storage at fasthosts.co.uk, but no MSSQL. One idea I had was to host the DNN site(s) at the highly acclaimed IHostASP but have mass storage elsewhere, then develop a clever module that allows upload/download of content to the remote site thereby making this transparent to users / administrators.
Cheers,
AndyB1979

| Don't try to make things too complicated. Shop around and find one hosting company that can meet your DNN, storage and bandwidth requirements. If you deal with a host that actually knows DNN, that will be a great help if and when you have problems. |

Great! thank you for that.
I have bought an $8 account at IHostASP just to try it out, after all, if I cant get it to do what I want, in 1 month I can cancel it and only lost $8. However, I do really need the webspace that godaddy provides.
Now my worries are this:
1. As they are so cheap, I wonder if they have proper procedures in place for backup and restrictions for security etc? What I dont want is my website hosted on the same server as spam or XXX, as this means viruses!...
2. Since it is such a hassle to install, can it be upgraded easily too? What I really want is the ability to keep a backup of the site on my local computer at home, in case I need to move hosting providers.
3. Is it possible to host more than one DNN site at godaddy. I only want 3 at the most. 1 for a Christian music festival in the UK, 1 for a network of church websites and 1 for just testing and messing about. If godaddy only supports 2 then the test site can be dropped.
It seems like a good option and for only $7, I might as well give them a try. If after 1 month it doesnt work out, then I dont lose much!... I do appreciate your articles and have read them. This sort of stuff is really useful!
Thank you,
AndyB

@andyb1979
My articles should help you to achieve your goal. [edited]
1) Cheap hosting does not provide good backup option. But you may want to buy a third party module (e.g Evotiva BackupScript - i am using currently and it has great features such as scheduled backups, this way i am able to run a copy of live environment at my localhost
2) Sorry, no. It won't be easy to upgrade with known steps. You should understand permissions, copy & move differences to handle upgrade process. I will cover all upgrades as long as i will alive 
3) Yes, its very possible, im running mikroproje.com as main portal (/Portals/0 directory) running mynetnuke.com as second portal (parent portal - /Portals/27), and a sub portal autopatcher.mikroproje.com (/Portals/x) as Autopatcher mirror.
I don't know but i should be able to create as many portals that DNN and webspace supports.

| Ajax is now supported at Godaddy.com on their Windows based hosting plans. I have created a tutorial which will walk you through the steps required to actually get DNN working on the root of a godaddy.com based Windows shared hosting account, http://spencerteck.com/WalkThroughsGuides/DNNGodaddycomRoot/tabid/80/Default.aspx. You can view this tutorial without signing up, but have to register if you want to post in the forums with any issues questions (register is free though, just required to be able to post to the forums). |

Arrghh!
Im still having trouble finding a decent web-host. Im currently with IHostASP.net but am finding them reliable but incredibly slow.
I am UK based (don't really care where the site is hosted), but I need 5GB space, 1 database (more would be nice but not essential), plenty of bandwidth (30-50GB / month). I have a budget of around £20 ($40) / month maximum and want to host podcasts.
Any ideas?
Cheers! |

I've been using SeekDotNet.com. I've been with them for a couple of years. They provide reasonable service. For the price, it's quite good. I also like the fact that I have access to both my database and my web directory.
You'll have to check with them for details and prices. |

Hi there and thanks for the info,
I like the bandwidth / disk space / cost, it looks good. I also really like the direct access to database. Makes backup/restore much easier.
Do you have a web address for a site on that host so I can get an impression of loading times? Also, do you know if they do automatic upgrades to the latest DNN version?
Thanks for your help,
AndyB |

You can take a look at patapscorg.com. The first page usually comes up in 5 or so seconds. After that, it's quite quick. I think that there are some shared hosting issues on my site that prevent the outside ping "keep alive" service from operating efficiently.
I'm using KeeperUp running on a computer in my house to the the keep alive pinging. |

The one thing I don't like about Godaddy is the MS SQL databases are 200MB. That will require a lot of attention to make sure the database doesn't get to big.
