Hey Virgil, I've never connected to a SQL Server on GoDaddy but I'm currently doing some work against MySQL databases. GoDaddy is very specific about the host name that it is connecting to. For the stuff that I'm doing I have to specify "mysql255.secureserver.net" as the host name. The number part (255) will change based on how they set you up. I imagine that there is a similar naming convention for SQL Server.
You may want to confirm that the hosting plan that you have is for Windows and it isn't on Linux, as well.
