Go Daddy has told me the reason my website is not working is due to the web.config file but haven't, can't, or won't tell me why exactly. I think it would be the same with any host using plesk. I haven't added to or altered the web.config file that vs generated at all. Anyone know what needs to be changed for the site to be hosted with plesk?

If you are deploying to a cloud environment that has multiple web server instances,
you should change session state mode from "InProc" to "Custom". In addition,
change the connection string named "DefaultConnection" to connect to an instance

I having had to deploy a site to Go Daddy before so I am hoping that someone can shed some light on the subject.
I don't get an error message attempting to browse the site, just the generic message that happens when an exception is thrown and the error can't be shown:
Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
You need to change the Trust level of your web application.
