I asked support if they could just reload backup of my database in mysql and this is the response i get:::: I am afraid what db backup are you talking about ? . You have your old db ? AS we did not restore any one's backup all site was same as like before just fixed our hardware issue none of sites are effected with this issue . Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need any further help. Regards Host4offshore.com Staff So I guess I'm screwed.

Luckly I just moved to this host a week ago and still had my old host. So just changing my nameservers back to my old host. Will lose a week of members and info but better than being down. I would not recommend Host4Offshore to anyone.

It means they don't have backup solutions for shared account, just full backup for a server.

As it appears they are translating to English or just cant speak English you may want to find someone else =)

@Future-FTA you are using old vbulletin version (3.8.3) which dnt support php 5.3.10. so update your vbulletin this problem will be solved .
Posted by Future-FTA, 02-21-2012, 02:31 AM
My forums were running fine until your server went down. My new host is using php 5.3.10 and my forums are running great.

You told me when the server come back up that nothing at all had changed on the server. Well then why was my forums running fine on your server before the outage and then when it come back up my forums are down???

@Future-FTA Recently we update our php . php 5.2 is an abandon project. We cant take risk by using this. Security issue. If you update your vbulletin 3.8.3 to 3.8.7 pl7 it will be start working .

@Future-FTA i think you missed my previous reply read it again webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=7967203&postcount=10 and i dnt understood why your vBulletin showing wrong information. Wheres i can see your server use 5.2.17 verify it from your c panel check this snap pokit.org/get/?8d4e3cad97eaaf28dcd265b9a17e73bb.jpg. If you have an legit vBulletin license contact with vBulletin about this issue . Vbulletin 3.8.3 dnt support php 5.3 only vbulletin 4.x.x and 3.8.7 support php 5.3 .
