Hi!
Post the error you get when connecting.

You mean from a godaddy server to godaddy mysql or from your home server to godaddy?...
for the latter you may need to first create a tunnel to the godaddy system, of installer pphpmysql on your server.

The first case seems unlikely.
As noci said, your original question seems to indicate you're running a local database instance.

If this is true, best move your database to GoDaddy first, if that's where your site will be running.

Not sure changing the character-set after the data was stored in such a case would auto-fix.
Check using substring to pull one character to see what value it has from the utc/ASCII table.
