Smile help hands or helping hands?

I wonder which one is right between the two sentences.

1. If you need some help hands to set up a web server, contact me anytime.
2. If you need some helping hands to set up a web server, contact me anytime.

Also, I wonder about the sentence structure that starts with if.
for example,

1. I would appreciate it if you could/or would help me.
2.I would appreciate it if you helped me.
which one is right?

looking forward to seeing your answer.

If you need help setting up a web server, contact me anytime (or any time).

I would appreciate it if you would or could help me works.

If you want to use the phrase 'helping hand', you would probably say:

"If you need a helping hand to set up a web server, contact me anytime."
