Windows hosting is just as reliable and secure as *nix hosting. Its the admins that run the servers that are the issue most the time.

And to answer the OP, take your old config.php file from goDaddy, put it on your windows machine.

Create the database with same username and password from the config.php file, and restore the old database into it.

All done.
