I was talking to godaddy.com today about DNN and the hosting plans they have available to support it.  They told me on 2 different phone calls that MySQL can be used with DNN.  I made sure the second time I called to verify they were not talking about MS SQL, and she said she was not. 

Will DNN run on a MySQL database?  When I search the web, everyone is saying it won't.  Does godaddy.com have something that everyone else doesn't?

Godaddy is definately wrong, you need Microsoft SQL server (at least Express version) to run DotNetNuke.

I gave up on godaddy.  I spent too much time trying to do things only to discover that they didn't support it (no PHP on their Windows servers, for example).

In addition, their performance is fairly slow.  It's a big chore to install godaddy to the root, etc, etc.

You *could* have DotNetNuke running with MySQL from what I understand... but that costs some extra dough.  There is a MySQL data provider out there but I've never personally tried it before.

Thanks for all the feedback.  I guess what I learned today is that the technicians at godaddy do not know what they are talking about.
