 * I got round this by installing the wp-supercache module at the recommendation
   of the Godaddy tech guys. It did work, but its a bit fiddly.
 * You are right, hosting on linux will solve it, but some people need windows hosting
   too (I also run asp.net apps)
 * The first problem I had was I couldnt even access my site to install the plugin,
   but eventually after a few refreshes it worked. Basically I did this:
 * * Download plugin from [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/)
 * * Extract the files and upload them to your wp-content folder
 * * go into your godaddy hosting account. Under content, go to file manager.
 * * Check the box next to wp-content and click permissions. Uncheck inherit and
   check Read and Write. Click ok (Yeah I know not good to make this writable, but
   its only temporary)
 * * Go back to your wordpress plugins page and enable the plugin.
 * * Next, go back into your file manager and go to wp-content/cache. Make this 
   folder read and write too.
 * * Next, edit your wp-config.php file in your ftp editor and add
 * define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);
 * near the top of your file. I put it after the db collate define section.
 * * Now visit the settings page of the plugin and turn the status ON. You can only
   do this when wp-config is writable, which is why we did that. Save the page settings.
 * * Now go back into the file manager and make the wp-config directory inherit.
 * * Hit your site and you will see the pages start to get cached.
 * They should now get served faster and be able to take a Digging.
 * Hope that helps someone – Im with enlaceflorida though in that if you can, maybe
   linux hosting is more appropriate until Godaddy sort this.

 * That link didn’t work for me – if you are still having problems, Ive stuck up
   an explanation as well as a web.config sample file for downloading at [http://www.globalartwork.com/2009/wordpress-permalinks-on-windows-iis/](http://www.globalartwork.com/2009/wordpress-permalinks-on-windows-iis/)
 * Post back here or in the comments of that page if it didn’t help 🙂
