First off, Wp will work generally just fine with IIS.  There are some
wrinkles though.

With GoDaddy, hit the forums.  There's some hoops to jump if they insist on
staying with IIS -- In fact, as I recall some core file edit needs to
happen.

The other might be a similar deal.  Or build ye olde little phpinfo() test
file and see if the host even has php configured correctly (by default, it's
a pita with iis).
