Looks like you have User Instance = true, which needs to be false in a hosting environment.

Also your "transmiamiConnectionString" is still looking by hostname, I don't know if this is your old connectionstring or not but that wouldn't work in a hosting environment either, if this is in fact your old hostname/instance, make sure you updated all your datasources to reflect your new connectionstring, which looks to be "ConnectionString", right?

You also may need to troubleshoot with GoDaddy to make sure all requirements on both ends are met. I've never hosted sql with them like this before, so I may be the wrong person to listen to ;)

Good luck!

Also,
I just found this, it might help.
