Never contacted GoDaddy support ... never had a need to. All of my development and testing is done on servers that I maintain and then the content is moved to production site.

Sorry you had trouble.

Yes, there are lot of hosting provides that do support DNN when that is needed.

Thanks,
Greg Hart

Just wanted to clarify for some of you that might not know the difference.  Any web host will host any application fine if you have a virtual or physical environment.  In this case, it sounds like Gary has dedicated servers.  Where a lot of web hosts like GoDaddy seem to fail is in their shared hosting environments.  Every web host "locks down" that environment because any one website could potentially bring down the other sites.  However, GoDaddy locks down that environment to a point where hosting a web application becomes nearly impossible.

When you have a dedicated server (virtual or physical), the hosting provider itself is not an issue in most cases.  This is because you then are able to decide what you want to support.  No trouble tickets are required because you are configuring the environment yourself.  For many websites - and especially mission critical websites - this is not only desired, but required.

If you are not able to spend the extra money to have your own hosted environment and have to stay in a shared hosting environment, I can tell you from experience that GoDaddy is not a place you want to host your DotNetNuke website.  Quite honestly, nearly any other web host is better than GoDaddy in this area.  From my experience, 1and1 is also one you want to stay away from when using shared hosting plans.

Also, keep in mind that these are my own opinions based on my own experiences and do not reflect the opinions of DNN Corp.
