I had my Drupal site built and hosted by somebody and they unexpectedly took down the server that the site was on. I have all the files, I have hosting setup through Godaddy, I have Drupal installed on Godaddy but I can't get the site up. Is anybody willing to help? I think for somebody that knows what they are doing it won't take very long at all. I am willing to pay.

Thanks

you state that you have all the files. Did you get a copy of the database? if not, then you've only a fraction of your site. Without a copy of the database from the old site you are relegated to having to start your site anew.

I do believe that I have the database. Honestly I am new to all of this, this site is just for my restaurant that I own. How would I go about verifying that I do have the database?

that needs to be imported into a database on the server using a tool provided by the host. godaddy would use phpmyadmin

Which character set do I want to import it in? utf8, ect...

yes and IIRC phpmyadmin defaults to utf-8. leave all default settings intact.
