I have WHS HP ex490 and my subscription is up next month for DNS with tzo.com
I was wondering if there is a way to get rid off TZO.com and get my own domain with godaddy.com which is much cheaper
In WHS 2011 godaddy is included in the web remote configuration but in WHS previous version it is not available
How can I by pass or configure HP WHS with my own domain without transfering my domain over to TZO.com
Thanks

Manually, completely. 
That was one of the only real improvements made in WHS2011. Though, technically, the .homeserver.com website is "powered by goDaddy", as the certificates are theirs.
As how to manually set it up, you'd have to change the certificate it uses (import the new one), and configure whichever nameserver to point to your IP address, and if they have an application for it, update it periodically. If you want to keep the domain name you're using, it depends on what it is, but you'd have to contact TZO and GoDaddy about having it transferred. Again, this all requires a decent amount of experience with IIS (Microsoft's default Web Server).

Slightly off topic, but as GoDaddy seem to support SOPA, PIPA and every other kind of internet censorship - I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. I never realised though Drashna, that the live domains certificates are owned by GoDaddy, I feel a bit miffed now, seeing as I too am using the live domain. Bummer.

Perhaps you'll feel slightly better to know that GoDaddy, under pressure, has reversed its stance on both SOPA and PIPA. It no longer supports either. It would appear that the free market does work, sometimes.
In fairness, it should be noted that GoDaddy has interests on both sides of the issue. Since it appears that there is bipartisan congressional opposition, along with an administration that has no love for it, SOPA is all but dead.
