Okay, I swear I spent more tiem researching this than it will probably take.  I went about 15 pages into the infamous 55 page thread; read dozens and dozens of others.  It seems to be a mixed bag--some get Godaddy to work in the root; some do not.

Has anyone developed a surefire way to install the latest and greatest using a Godaddy account?  I hate to spin my wheels more than I have reding the forums and still not being able to "get 'er done!"

I dropped GoDaddy after playing with VWD and not being able to gain remote access to my database, but it could have been me...total newbie in the asp/DNN world.

Yea, dedicated has the security settings set so you can install DNN without jumping through hoops.  I was hoping people were able to install it to the root with, say, a deluxe shared plan...trying to save some jing just starting out until I can justify the premium for a dedicated server.

Very nice; thanks.  That looks promising. Since GD has a one month plan, I guess I'll take a shot at it myself...

You aren't, by chance, using Xmod are you?  I am wondering if it will work fine with medium trust that I'll be under at GD....
