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.

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. 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

I will be evaluating GoDaddy soon, simply because of the amount of storage / bandwidth they offer. The deluxe plan now offers 100GB of storage and a 1TB of bandwidth / month for little over $6!
https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/shared.asp?ci=9009
If they're rubbish I will post back info here in a few weeks.

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. /Dave |

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) Regards. |

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.

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/WalkThroughs...ault.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.

I am new to DotNetNuke and I am attempting to install the latest version on a GoDaddy hosted account.
I've read the forum posting about installing onto a GoDaddy account and found it helped a great deal however, I can't seem to get beyond the connection string to the database without something being wrong.
I've made so many changes at this point I don't know what is right anymore.
Below is my latest attempt at changing the web.config file and adding the connection string to my database but, I continue to get an error as follows:
Invalid value for key 'attachdbfilename'.
Below is the part of the web.config file that I have changed to include the connection string. I don't understand what is wrong with it...bigger still...I have no idea of where to go to find an answer.
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
-->
<!-- Host Header to remove from URL so "www.mydomain.com/johndoe/Default.aspx" is treated as "www.mydomain.com/Default.aspx" -->
<!--optionally strip angle brackets on public login and registration screens-->
<!--use as persistent cookie expiration. Value is in minutes, and only active if a non-zero figure-->
<!-- set UsePortNumber to true to preserve the port number if you're using a port number other than 80 (the standard)
-->
Can anyone see what I have done wrong and give some type of guidance as to how I should set this so it will work?
thank you,
|

You probably included some tags in your posting of the web.config. If you make sure that there are spaces before and after any < or > then it should post ok.
I would hope that the folks at godaddy could help with this. If not, maybe you could give Danica Patrick a phone call!
But, if you'll try posting that again, we can probably help, too. |

Let me start by saying I've been a Godaddy hosting customer for several years and equally frustrated with the shortcomings and apparent unwillingness to assist paying customers. It's a remarkable business model ~which goes to show the resilience of the company you keep. Nevertheless, I have a great discovery that I felt compelled to share with regards to the Godaddy hosting sub-directory debacle. This also leads to an issue that I am sure several of you bright folks will be able to assist or point me to an existing article/tutorial Lee has published. The details of the following and the source of my information can be found at the following link: http://help.godaddy.com/topic/173/a...#adddomain I have implemented the contents of this Help Article and can attest to its success. The end result is to have 'myweb.com/dnn' point to a sub-folder '/dnn' without displaying it in the URL resulting in only 'mydomain.com' Word-to-the-wise: Changing your domain name takes up to 24 hours to complete and potentially longer to propagate name servers. (Again, the detailed steps are listed in the above link.) Step 1: Remove web access to the root directory of your hosting domain (myweb.com) Under the Domain Management settings, change the Primary Domain on Hosted Site to a non-real domain name: myweb-nonroot.com (for example) ***Take a 24 hour coffee break*** Step 2: Enter an alias for your new non-real domain name (myweb-nonroot.com) as the original domain name: myweb.com. Enter the Domain Hosting Path of the sub-folder /dnn. Once this change is effective you can navigate to myweb.com and it will resolve to the /dnn sub directory without presenting it in the URL. Yea - finally something I have tried and it appears to work great...with one minor issue. My original site was originally initiated with the /dnn extension and my default portal is registered in my DotNetNuke installation as myweb.com/dnn and I have registered a portal alias of myweb.com. Every link and menu still references the myweb.com/dnn path. Therefore, if you can guide me to how to change the default to myweb.com instead of myweb.com/dnn, I believe this is a workable solution.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am actually referencing the default portal sub-directory that was used when the site was initialized, /dnn. Another example would be when selecting a page (on this site) in the links module. All of the site pages are qualified as ' http://myweb.com/dnn/forum/default.aspx', for example. Now that I have removed the .../dnn from my hosting URL reference, I would like to have dnn follow suit. |

For replacing text in Text/HTML modules, Engage Software's free F3 module can't be beat. It's prettymuch wysiwyg and you can accept/reject changes individually. |

Does anyone have any experience with hosting multiple domains on a single dnn portal @ Godaddy? I have never had success with multiple parent portals through Godaddy. I have attempted to utilize domain aliases and still nothing. Just curious if anyone has had success with this.
Thanks,

Brief update: I have solved all my hosting issues and it took all of 10 minutes! How you ask? I moved my hosting to PowerDNN and dropped GoDaddy like a bad habit. I currently support half a dozen or so sites independently that I have setup @ GoDaddy and I will be moving them all so I only have to support a single portal and multiple sites.  Me thinks this is going to save me lots of time! Thanks everyone for your input - and for those of you who continue to use GoDaddy for DNN hosting... you can always take pleasure remembering that you can burn upwards of 150 calories a day banging your head against the wall. |

Can someone help? I'm trying to figure out DNN hosting through GoDaddy. It seemed straight forward at first and I figured GoDaddy had overcome some of their earlier issues. I set up a GoDaddy account, installed DNN, set up a portal...although I had to set it up under a subdomain...now that I've canceled my other hosting account with a different hosting provider and have our main domain transferred I cannot seem to get it pointing to my DNN installation.
I've had no success accessing our site when using our domain name an alias.....
We used the setup for adding it as a domain under our hosting account and have it pointing to our /dotnetnuke/portals directory...this is what allowed us to remove the subdomain name we used when initially setting up our portal...anyway...just a little frustrated at the moment.
I've read through all these posts on DNN Creative but am still not sure how to do this correctly. I'm sure it can't be that difficult...

Terry,
I don't have any experience with GoDaddy and DotNetNuke. It might not be "that difficult" but is does seem, based on the comments that I read, that it seems to be more difficult than some.
Can you access the site at all? If so, using what URL? Is this a DNS issue?
Is there any help available from GoDaddy?

Joe,
I believe it may be a DNS issue but don't know where I'm going wrong. There domain controller is pretty straight forward but I'm doing something wrong.
I added our domain www.compassnorthgroup.com to our hosting manager and added the dotnetnuke directory to the path...this was actually pretty easy because it was just like browsing the server structure to make sure it pointed to the portals directory for the DNN installation.
I can access the site if I use the subdomain (www.cng.compassnorthgroup.info) I setup through the hosting controller but not our business domain. I really need to get it up soon..I thought it would be a simple process but it seems to be more difficult then I first imagined.
I have not talked with GoDaddy yet although I've gone through all their help files related to DNN with little progress. I was hoping to find someone who is really familar with DNN and GoDaddy first..
I've been going through the forums on both Dotnetnuke, here and various asp.net forums but most entries refrence GoDaddy/DNN from more then a year ago...
I will post any progress and/or solutions I come up with to help others.

Did you also put www.compassnorthgroup.com and compassnorthgroup.com in the portalalias table?

Joe,
Do you mean in the DNN portal or in the domain manager on GoDaddy? |

Portalalias is a table in your database. If you can browse to the site and login as a host, you can take care of this in the Portal Aliases section at the bottom of the Site Settings page .

I have posted the same issue on dnn creative forum before and have had zero success with GoDaddy, who refused to provide any assistance. I personally believe the disfunction of DNN to maintain child portals at GoDaddy is by design, thereby selling more cheap hosting. The whole lack of support and control drove me away from GoDaddy to a better and more specialized host provider. Making this change was worth the additional expense as it has minimized my administration time, backups, etc.. I highly recommend, based on my personal experiences that moving to a capable hosting provider is the best course of action. If you are still bent on sticking it out and dealing with headache after headache at GoDaddy - then I have to mention a resource who claims to have 'methods' for overcoming all of the designed short comings of GoDaddy. I and many others have had mixed success with these 'methods' (a.k.a. - creative hacks). I will say - this guy is really cordial, very accomidating, and apparently resourceful - however, when working in a corporate environment as a SERVICE provider, I can not afford to hack my way through something I can't explain. If it is my personal site or a free site for a friend or non-profit - maybe, but I still don't like having my name anywhere near it. My other admonition - it has been my experience, that messing with Hack-a-Daddy takes a tremendous amount of time and try, try, again! If you have an abudance of patience and time - knock yourself out! The only thread I have ever read about to make this work is as follows (attempt at your own risk): http://www.mynetnuke.com/Default.aspxBest Regards, Dan |

Joe,
Yes...thought that is what you were referring to. I did add both to the alias for the site....interestingly when I browsed to both I would get the DNN icon in the url but the content was GoDaddy's new site setup page.

Dan,
Thanks for the advice...we may have to do that. I just left a DNN hosting plan we had for the past 3 years for financial reasons...GoDaddy seemed like a good option financially...and when I was able to set up the installation under the subdomain I was convinced it was a no brainer to move...although I did not think I would have this much trouble trying to get the new site to come up with our domain once it was moved.

Just an update....
Because I did not want to rebuild my site and/or go try to backup/restore my site & database on another provide I attempted to get everything working right...the closest I was able to come was to get the portal to resolve to mydomain.com/dotnetnuke ....try as I may I could not get it to resolve to mydomain.com ...I will be moving to another provider and have backedup my site/database...appreciate any insight on the best way to restore my site on a clean install with another provider. I know I'll have to make changes to the web.config (my backed up web.config)...beyound that I'm not sure.

check out: These 2 methods should help you get the knowledge you need for moving to a new hosting provider. - Some hosting providers will actually set it up for you if you provide them with your dnn installation files and backup of your database. - Could be worth contacting support of a few hosting providers and see if they will set it up for you. - this can be an interesting exercise just to see how good their support is for the hosting provider as well, Thanks, |

Hi all,
Very very new to DNN so please be patient with me.....
I registered my domain name just today with GoDaddy and am using them to host my website also.
I would really like to get DNN 4.9.1 up and running on this.
From what I have been reading so far it seems pretty hard to do. I am looking for a newbie proof tutorial on how to set this up if someone has one or can point me to one that you do not have to subscribe too.
The video tutorials on here are simply fantastic and they have helped me get a much better understanding of what DNN is and what it can do.
All the best,
Mark |

I have not used GoDaddy as a host, but I have read of some troubles that people have with DotNetNuke installations. But ... all is not lost. Look here. |

Hi guys,
I'm currently at College and have no form of income so I am unable to currently pay the subscription fee. I would really love to get my first DNN site up and running. Are there tutorials available anywhere else? Thank you for all your help so far.
All the best,
Mark |

Hey guys, Thanx to the tutorials from Greenflash and this website http://spencerteck.com/cms-guides/1...all-part-1 I am happy to say I got DNN 4.9.1 installed on GoDaddy. I am using the economy option and it worked fine. As soon as I got it setup I logged on as the admin account to reset the password and was able to reset it no problem. I then logged in as host and wanted to also reset the password for the host account too in order to secure my site. The problem is each time I try to reset the password or create a new acocunt I keep getting the follwing error. "s.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed. Common causes for this error are when the response is modified by calls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled. Details: Error parsing near 'alid/0/Default.aspx¦ I have tried to change a number of things like the website name etc. etc and keep getting the same error. Would anyone know why this is? Have you seen this before? Cheers, Mark |

Probably because of Economy Plan limitations you received this error.
In my tutorials, i have focused on Deluxe Plan, i think you will also have issues with Container Menu Action buttons since they are using AJAX. |

In your tutorial you mentioned that a friend of yours had used the economy plan without any issues. Were they able to install OK and then had problems after? |
