Hey everyone, im looking into installing Discourse through a GoDaddy hosting: https://www.godaddy.com/pro/one-click-installation/discourse?countryview=1 I already have GoDaddy’s service hired for email and Webflow webpage hosting and wanted an expert and user opinion on implementing this install. …
