use this and see where the redirection is: https://www.redirect-checker.org/

If it's in the godaddy part, fix it there, if it's hosting side, it's probably malware so fix that

Domain or website? if the domain go to your dashboard and select your domain, you should see the redirection option and disable it

Update: Apparently I removed the domain from my host without removing the server details from my registrar. Someone got lucky (I don’t know how) and added the domain to another cpanel Which made it redirect to a porn site.

Well this issue is of your hosting provider, sometimes domains get redirected if some settings are messed up.
Specially this happens with WHM/Cpanel Hosting Accounts.
