Old vb 3.07 forum, want to move hosts, and upgrade to latest vb version
 
Here is my dilemma...

I am currently running a VB forum at vb 3.0.7. My hosting is free, fast, and rarely has errors.
The problem is, that my host runs an old version of MYsql (its my friends server and wont upgrade because it will cause problems with other stuff he runs), this I cannot upgrade to a new version. My site gets tons of spam and my mods have had enough of moderating it, so upgrading to a new version would be nice. Anyways, I am thinking about hostgator's $13 plan.

Would it be a pain to move all my data from my old version to a new version, and also would hostgators $13 plan be sufficient for my site?

Thanks

I hated gatorhost. I was with there Business plan and I had so many issues, I left. I signed up and within two weeks I had two unexpected downtimes. Talk about a site with 99.9% downtime.

Anyways thats my two cents. I wouldn't recommend gatorhost.

The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file. Please see the instructions here:

Restore:

P.S. If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts:
