Drush is very important tool for drupal Developers, Its managed from Shell so a lot of people failed in getting it work at shared hosts like godaddy, I will explain briefly how to install Drush on godaddy shared hosting plane. 1- Open your Linux Terminal and create SSH Connection to you account
ssh username@website.com
and Enter your password. 2- Go to your main directory

export DRUSH_PHP="/usr/local/php5/bin/php" export COLUMNS alias drush="/usr/local/php5/bin/php ~/drush/drush.php" alias php="/usr/local/php5/bin/php"
if you want to use PHP 5.3 add the following lines instead
export DRUSH_PHP="/usr/local/php5_3/bin/php5_3" export COLUMNS alias drush="/usr/local/php5_3/bin/php5_3 ~/drush/drush.php" alias php="/usr/local/php5_3/bin/php5_3"
