uh.... this really isnt about me backing up data or not. Its that I need my URL info updated so I am not depended on my old host. I have moved to a new host but its still depended on my old one. So I just need the username / password so I am not depended on my old host anymore.

Hah, that's always a problem!

Someone offered to pay for my site hosting, my domain, and my vbulletin license, i accepted but said that i would buy the domain.

Reason is, the license and hosting can be replaced, but the domain can't, if he gets mad, or dies, or loses control of it, i would loose it too and it would be very hard to get it back. So i will never let someone buy a domain for me, because i can not guarantee that i will be able to keep it.

They could simply change the domain name DNS, and my site would be gone with no warner, no nothing.

I would quit stalking the guy and come up with a plan of action until (or if) he responds. By letting him buy and pay for the domain, you really have no rights to it, and it's not fair to make him look like he skipped out on you when he is under no obligation to respond to the barrage of emails and phone calls.

Find a domain name you like. Register it, and then start working on getting your site optimitized for search engines. Then, you won't really NEED the old domain name any more.

Also, right now you still have control over the old hosting, you might not in the future, so if this does crap out on you, which it might not, redirect the domain name to your new domain, do what Amy said and get it SEO'ed and mass email all your current users to your new forum.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
