Howdy guyz,
A few days ago I used to buy hosting serivce @ GoDaddy. Today I'm not quite happy with my decision - especially since I've got some bad problems installing Geeklog. Is there anyone who already managed to install GL on GoDaddy's stuff and is willing to share his how-to? Will be grateful for advices, kind regards - Apoc.

I haven't had any problems with them. I also host on my own websites. Which plan are you on?
I think you made a good choice with hosting. Just have to post your errors here.

I not only host with them, geeklog can be installed automatically via checkbox with one of their linux hosting accounts. Then you just configure it. However, what I don't know is whether or not doing advanced stuff is difficult. I haven't gotten very high skill-wise with CMSs in general, so they could still end up not being a good choice. I'd be very surprised though, I know several employees and know many that have used them for years. They don't appear to me to be a company that does things half-way, etc.

Where do I find the checkbox to install Geeklog? I have a Linux hosting account with GoDaddy.
Thanks

I am having the same problem, I got my godaddy site working fine at http://www.mysite.com/geeklog/public_html/ but I can't figure out how to make geeklog the root directory without having .htaccess access which I dont think godaddy allows.
Has anybody been able to do this?
Thanks

You may want to read the bit about public_html in the installation instructions again ...
Also see Alternative installation instructions and Installing Geeklog entirely within the web root
