Sara - yes, http://divasindubai.com returns an empty page (zero bytes long), but the forum works (Discussion Forums for Scuba Diving, Freediving in the United Arab Emirates - Powered by vBulletin), so it is not a problem of domain resolution, but rather the index.php scirpt is either broken, or the underlaying database is corrupted. If you can connect to it via FTP, verify if the index.php file is all right - reupload a backup copy. If it does not help, contact the host to look at it or to restore the website from the last backup.

hi Ivo

i actually backed up the whole lot the other from the ftp site - i just downloaded the whole site on to an external hard disk. i wouldnt know if the index.php file is ok, i have asked for help/advice from the guy who wrote it for me. i'll try uploading the backed up one and see if it works.

if i connect via ftp, all the files are there still and there have been no changes at all. i have had some problems with it for a few weeks as i forgot my password, then checked it out on the config.php and even that one doesnt work. i asked for a new one and it doesnt send me the email... I have asked my nephew who knows php to help for a few $$$$ (that's the only thing that works with them these days )
