Godaddy Hosting for Self Defense Directory, Beginners Help

[SecuritySaint]

Hello to all.

I want to start a self defense directory. I have already acquired a domain name from Go Daddy. And INTEND to use their hosting?

On this directory I would want want to run Google AdSense and maybe one or two affilate links or banners. (I mention this cause not sure if all templates are capable)?

Although I have developed a few sites, I have very limited knowledge with PHP / FTP / SCRIPT. Starting from scratch how hard is this to get up and going? WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

I know I've seen the "support forums" recommended, however is there enough info. there to get me up and going? Hate to get stuck not being able to install or publish....

Asking a lot, but is there any sources available to have a walk through during installing/set-up.

Excuse my lack of knowledge and thank you for your help.

Yours in Safety,

Many people install successfully as long as you take the time to read the instructions.

Supporters forum is recommended but is not a prerequisite to support for the script.

Godaddy has improved somewhat with their hosting.
Make sure you chose the linux package.

There is more than enough information for you to get going and if you run into a problem just send me a pm :)

OK, thanks for the reply.

Would you recommend another economical host instead of Go Daddy?

Will the "linux package" conflict with my other sites and programs I use for the existing sites, currently I use IE?

Also, I noticed that services are available for "development" etc....is that you may I ask? Where can I find more info. on that?

Most grateful for your help.

I like hostgator.com a lot (have 3 accounts with them).
For custom development we do offer services at $30/hour when available. Right now, we are committed for the next 1-2 weeks to some existing projects, but can discuss your project if you like via PM.
