I thought you might have been referring to your localhost CF Administrator. This is irrelevant for you production Godaddy configuration. It is only relevant for your local testing configuration.

For your published Godaddy configuration you use the Godaddy web based database configuration tool to create your database and DSN. There is little help and it took me a lot of noodling around and trial and error to figure out what I have figured out, but I have this screen in my "GoDaddy -- Hosting Control Center"

SQL Server Database Information
Status: Setup
Host Name: xxx.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net
Database Name: DB_xxx
Database Version: 2000
Description: SOR DATA
User Name: xxxx
DSN: Not Installed (Install)

Cold Fusion DSN: my_CF_DSN Installed (Uninstall)
ASP Schema: Not Installed (Install)

I would then use the my_CF_DSN (changed to protect the innocent) string in my application code.
