Answer 2

It's important to note that if your app is using MVC, you will need to bin deploy it for it to work on GoDaddy. You will need to manually copy any MVC related DLLs that your project is using to your production bin directory.

Alternatively, you can set "Copy Local" equal to "true" in the Properties window for any of your MVC related project references as described in this blog post. Then when you do a Publish of your application, all of the needed assemblies will be included automatically.

Be sure to deploy the correct versions of the DLLs you need.

Answer 3

sure, you can deploy your MVC 4 application. Godaddy supports MVC 4. What I have done to deploy my MVC 4 application is:

1. I included DLLs such as:

• System.Web.Mvc
• System.Web.Routing
• System.Web.Abstractions

2. I edited web.config file. I put next strings:

<system.web>
   <trust level="Medium"/>
   .....  
</system.web>

3. Then I used the File System publish method and then I used FileZilla to transfer the files to the GoDaddy. I copied all files to httpdocs directory. You must copy just to httpdocs directory.

That's all. Good luck.
