Thank you so much for this post. I too "stumbled" upon this upgrade plugin but I was sure it wouldn't work on GoDaddy. Honestly I was afraid I would screw something up. But after reading your post I'm going to give it a try.

Good tip. After backing up Wordpress, I am going to give this a try! Thanks for the help and I hope that it works well. As you said, Godaddy did help me setup Wordpress but I am not on my own.

If above doesn't work, try this. This is the last option upgrade.
1) Back up Wordpress MySQL DATABASE! 2) Delete all Wordpress files in directories, except "wp-content" folder & contents within that folder!!! --Once all set, wait about 15 minutes for GoDaddy to refresh-- 3) Setup new MySQL database for the new Wordpress you're about to install. 4) Reinstall Wordpress from scratch. Do not restore/import the MySQL Database yet! 5) Setup Wordpress options, (ie previous theme, update & activate plug-ins, PERMALINK SETTINGS) --Once all set, wait about 15 minutes for GoDaddy to refresh-- 6) Restore MySQL Database into the new database (step #3)

I've been with GoDaddy hosting for 2 years now and they've been great. Server uptime has been 99.8% and speeds are incredible. Rarely have I used their support system, when I do response times vary from 1 - 7 hours which is great.

I personally hate Godaddy for hosting, Cpanel is the only way to fly.

You have got it easy with GoDaddy. With 1and1, you have to include an ini file to upgrade to php5 and also add another file to the wp-admin folder. it ends up working fine after that, but we shouldn't have to mess with all that!

Godaddy drive me nuts. They seem to have a knack of making this more complicated that they should be.
