Godaddy run a very old version of mySQL that is not supported by web wiz forums.

This has been bought up a number of times and it seems that GoDaddy say that you have to upgrade to a dedicated server to get a newer version of mySQL.

From posts on this forum, GoDaddy seem to be one web host worth avoiding.
