If it is the case, does the above tell me I cannot use cURL nor FTP with my "economy" site? The difference is paying $41.97/mo instead of $4.95/mo.
Your code currently uses FTP to connect to the remote server and therefore according to the statement from GoDaddy will not run on the current plan you have, your options as I see it are:
  • Stay at GoDaddy and move to a VPS.
  • Move to another web host.
  • Stay at GoDaddy and rewrite the code to use http rather than FTP but this assumes you have control of both ends, that is the site you are reading data from can it provide it via the HTTP protocol or be made to.
