Hi..I'm not technical oriented & know nothing about programming or scripts writing - that's why I'm here typing "crying" for help...

- okay.. this is my issue -

I co-own www.itulip.com that currently is equipped with SiteNet BBS Forum, and we want to switch it to vBulletin - at the same time when we switch our hosting server (as our current hosting company does not support SSH access.)

The itulip.com forum has 118 registered users, 403 messages, 55 topics & 348replies and counting...(I show these numbers just to give you some idea of how much data need to be transferred if we switched to vBulletin..)

iTulip.com is a commercial site with heavy traffic & is growing, and so I need to know if vBulltin could help transferring/importing all our existing datafiles (e.g., registered users names, passwords, posts, threads, messages...etc.) from SiteNet BBS to vBulletin with no interruption & automatically covert to an vBulletin database in mysql, replicates the forum (using the default vbulletin style) before I purchase it...?
Or what do I need to do in order to complete the transferring with no interruption? Thnx!!
