Why can't I find any pages after migrating a site?
So, the usual way to do this is like this.


dump all caches and back up the database
clean drupal install on your new server
move the db to your new server
configure proper db user on new server
copy the sites folder to the new server
make sure settings.php is correct for new server config
run update.php


It's not clear from your description exactly what's happened, but I would try it again. From what you describe, it doesn't sound like you followed all the steps for a normal site migration, so you need to make sure all the stuff drupal needs is there. I've also had some issues with folder permissions when moving stuff to Godaddy, so you can look at that too.
