I misspoke about the database. It's been awhile since I've actually carried out the process myself as I vastly prefer Wordpress these days. But yes, my instructions above do say to create the database on GoDaddy first. My apologies. Ah, yes. I misspoke about the database.

Indeed I found out that Joomlapack has been renamed AkeebaBackup. There are two distribution: a Core and a Pro one. However I'm perplex about your advice to refrain from creating a DB on GD. AkeebaBackup Guide at http://www.akeebabackup.com/akeeba-backup-documentation/performing-the-restoration-process.html#using-abi, see "Creating a database on GoDaddy", expressly advises to create one. What say you? Thanks a lot. Indeed I found out that Joomlapack has been renamed AkeebaBackup. There are two distribution: a Core and a Pro one.

Since this post was written, I think the software developer renamed it AkeebaBackup or something. It's the same thing. Yes, this process should help you resolve this issue. Wipe everything off your GoDaddy Server. Make sure it's completely empty. Do not create a database or install anything onto the hosting server before you try this process. This process will install the software and import the database for you. If this fails. . . use Wordpress. It's so much better! Hey, John!

There is no such thing named "Joomlapack" down the link mentioned at step 1. Did I miss something there? Why did my post earlier today disappear?

There is no such thing named “Joomlapack” down the link mentioned at step 1. Did I miss something there?

I did extensive research in Joomla!, GoDaddy and MySQL documentation and forums; I also asked GoDaddy support at length; I tried everything I was advised to and could think of but everything failed. The DB .sql file is very small though: 816KB. Questions: (1) Will Joomlapack/Kickstart help me to solve this issue? I noticed that the tutorial does not import the DB from phpMyAdmin (accessible from GoDaddy's Hosting Center). (2) If I use Joomlapack/Kickstart, do I have to uninstall the Joomla! application on GoDaddy, delete all the Joolma! files I uploaded, and delete the DB created by GoDaddy for Joomla!? PLEASE help: I simply don't know what else I could possibly do (but throwing myself through the window).

You can always expect editing online to be slower than editing locally, but frankly, GoDaddy sucks. Their shared hosting servers are VERY overburdened. This site is still hosted with them, but I was able to speed it up some by upgrading to a virtual dedicated IP. Even then, it was still slow, so I converted to Wordpress. I advise all my clients to host with HostGator now. The Joomla sites I have with them all run much faster than anything I've tried to host on GoDaddy. All web hosting companies are definitely NOT created equal. For that matter, I also now advise all my clients to use Wordpress versus Joomla, now that Wordpress 3.0 is out and can do just about everything Joomla can do, only better and faster... and then some. (Try hosting a blog with Joomla. It's really clunky.) Wordpress is also much better documented. If Joomla were as well documented as Wordpress, I would certainly not get the amount of traffic to this page that I currently do! Nope, it’s not just you.
