Installing on Godaddy?

Lautermilch · January 31, 2019, 08:23:58 AM

I just saw that Godaddy removed SMF from the automatic install on their hosting control panel. Is there any kind of a guide for a manual install?

Hello, take a look at this: https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Installing

SMF and Godaddy doesn't mix. Your first task is to get a good host.

I agree.
Is there any hosting that allows me to install SMF with the click of a button?
I need WP as well.
I am trying to add a forum on my website - www.deanlautermilch.com

Installing manually really isn't too hard, and for your own security and comfort it is definitely worth the trouble.

P.S. I am actually happy to see GoDaddy do this - should save us a lot of trouble in the future. GoDaddy is crap, and GoDaddy + SMF has been proven to be risk not worth taking.

Nothing wrong with GoDaddy. I have no issues and have been using them since 2002.

I would rather have the resources of a big company behind me than some of the hosts that have just a handful of employees.

godaddy has been known to screw up many forums, I would stay very very far away. they don't care if they screw you over either.

Can't count how many support issues I've seen arising from the actions of GoDaddy, which never got resolved because GoDaddy just made a mess and didn't own up to it.

I switched to TMDHosting and already have website running and SMF installed.
I've had GD for about ten years and change is good. I like the better performance and the tickets were answered in a few minutes.

I just installed smf from the installatron on godaddy a few days ago for my 2nd forum and it was still there. They did update cPanel a bit. So far I cant find anything bad to say about godaddy.

There are free hostings. . 000webhost, Infinityfree. The best paid hosting I've ever used is Greyweb host.
