Magento – Error: “Couldn’t resolve host ‘magento-community'” when installing a Extensions

errormagento-1.9magento-connectthird-party-module

I cannot install any Extensions on magento. I tried the solutions from other posts but none of them worked for me. I have magento on godaddy ver. 1.9.
I tried keys in several formats like:
http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/[name]

magento-community/[name]

http://connect20.magento-commerce.com/community/[name]

Godaddy , of course, is never helpful. Can anybody give me any suggestions to fix this problem?

Thank you

That first example should be correct and is a Connect 2.0 format key. That's the format you want for Community 1.9. It looks like your error comes from the 2nd example which isn't a hostname. If you copy the installer key directly from Connect as-is on the product page it should work. Alternatively you can use a tool like http://freegento.com/ddl-magento-extension.php to paste keys into and download an archive of the code so you can review the code and install manually. This is a safer route because you can have a look at the code before it goes on your store.
