I am having a difficult connecting Dreamweaver to my Godaddy MYSQL Database. Have any of you had any luck or could any of you refer to another hosting company.

hey, i created a site for a client a while back who was hosted on godaddy and i couldn't get DW to connect either. i had to use ftp:// and a browser. in fact, i called godaddy about this and the guy actually got mad at me for wanting to use DW to connect. he told me ftp'ing in a browser is their preferred method. stupid <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> but on the flipside i know someone who is using frontpage and they are connecting just fine. don't know why or how, but they are.

please don't take this as a frontpage recommendation. hahaha <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Have you ever been able to connect with yahoo webhosting an sql database, I am unable to get DW to connect to my yahoo sql database.

godaddy sucks, they hire idoits. i had hosting and registration thru them but they wouldn't allow me to modify my root folder or even create a new folder on my root and set as root.. aswell i wasn't able to connect to there database at all... i found omnis.com as a better hosting provider for the same price as godaddy you get 10 gb more. plus i am able to connect to mysql database using GUI administrator. only work around for godaddy was to run and test locally then upload files and change connection string to connect to online database. i would drop godaddy with the quickness if you haven't already. and try out omnis.com.

hi guys
There are so many options for best web hosting. You need to really sit down and assess your needs and then find a good reliable plan to fit them. Don't just get a host for your business it is because it has a cheap price or you like the look of the site. I found thelist of top 10 web hosting websites sorted by Price, Server Up-Time, Reliability, Eaze-of-Use, Control Panel and Customer Support May it will be help full for you as for me
