first, this hopefully will answer your question:
http://help.godaddy.com/article/1361

second, normally people do this the other way.

godaddy is one of the worst hosts in the world, but one of the best domain registrars in the world.

be sure that your client gets linux hosting and not windows hosting.

on godaddy's windows hosting accounts, things like php/mysql based bulletin boards and blogs, do not work.

their tech support is laughable at best.....

I could go on but I won't.

good luck,
robert

Lol, I don't want this to turn into a "my hosting is better than your hosting" thing but I did want to add my thoughts. I have sites on both GD and on HG.

I haven't run into any trouble with the tech folks at either place. As with any other tech service departments, there can be misunderstandings (mumbles about not being bilingual) and there are newbie techs.

Thankfully my experiences have been good for all of the hosting/tech companies I use.

Robert,
I'm glad to be here and hope that I can provide some assistance!

Good news! PHP 5 is now fully supported on Windows shared hosting accounts running IIS 7, as referenced in .

Thanks for all the feedback!

Kit,
Glad to hear your experiences have been good!

Regards,

Alicia:
Great to have you here, and thanks for helping out! Let me know if there is anything we can do to help you.

While every hosting company has its pluses and minuses, one thing is for sure; if you are willing to enter the "den" to help out it says you and GoDaddy are willing to put yourselves out there to provide service. I admire that.

Again, thanks.

Hi Barry and Ann,

Problem is that I'm doing this for someone on their hosting account. Any requests I make will go to their default mail address, not mine.
