Have you got cpanel on it? If so... try...
click redirects and you should do it there...

Want an other way?
Create a blank index file you can try the java way..

Is your domain with your host? You should try to avoid that.

If it was with a registrar you could just do domain forwarding right at the registrar.

If it's with the host then a 301 through htaccess is going to be your option.

I don't use godaddy anymore (and enither should anyone else) but I'm sure you can redirect to a subdomain from their control panel.
You will usually have to switch the nameservers to their's before you can use their redirection settings.

Quick search at GD gave me this:

You might have it framed and thats why it is showing the origional domain name.
There should be an option where you have it not framed.

That would be what's called a framed redirect.
There should be an option for regular or framed. If you can't find it you might want to contact GD support.
