I have gone through too many problems with trying to use Moodle with my GoDaddy account. I am looking for recommendations on where I should host my Moodle application. Initially, my needs will be small. I'm looking for something under $5 a month.
Any advice would be appreciated!
JH,
You (& SH) may be right. I would just point out that BlueHost is one of the two services that caused such a to-do over databases and Unicode (the other being HostMonster) as documented in Tracker issue MDL-11743. The "solution" is a work-around of their distortion of the default meaning of the SHOW VARIABLES query in MySQL; the only solution for the more reliable db PostgreSQL is to phone tech support and ask them to convert your database to UTF-8.
Anyway, here is my list of links that I have accumulated over the centuries on hosting:

RS,
According to http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle#Requirements,
yes, but Moodle 2.0 will require PHP5 (5.2.0 or later).
