Default Novice Needs Help

I hope I placed this correctly.

I need some advice please.

I am a 66 year old novice with a big problem. My technical abilities rank about 2 on a scale of 10.

Currently I am using FusionBB 2.3 over 10 years. I have been told that the product is at" end of life for support." As I looked all over the web for a replacement I see that the vbulletin support community seems to be very strong. When I also saw the vbulletin 5 cloud service I thought that would be for me. They manage all software and database stuff, I manage my forums. With the vbulletin 5 tutorials I thought this was perfect. Then I found out that there is not a way to migrate my forums to the vbulletin cloud since it is not a vbulletin forum.

I searched around for help and found a web host that specializes in vbulletin. They said they would, install and host vbulletin for me. They also said they would set up a practice forum which was perfect. They also said that they could migrate my FusionBB forums. The plan was to migrate to VB4 to make migration to VB5 possible, and at the same time I could practice on VB5 and when I was ready they would move my forums to the cloud.

What happened next is the host service insisted that they could not install Vb5 because it is unstable. Since then I have cancelled my hosting account. Is this true. If yes, which version of vb should I use. I also need help finding another service to do all this. I really need a guiding hand once this is up and running because I will make mistakes. Can someone please help me.

web site info
allenonline.com
7,000 members but usual about 50-60 online at one time.

Thank you in advance,

Ivan
