nah i deleted the website, i dont have money to the payment plan then i cant change php and for that vbulletin i need php 7
What version of vBulletin are you using? vBulletin 6 requires PHP 8.1.0, and you never want to use outdated software to host a website if you can avoid it. Even if you use hardened PHP (which premium hosting does) the software itself is likely still unmaintained and will have security vulnerabilities of its own. Resorting to an older PHP version should only be used as a stopgap while upgrading your software.
If the issue is you can’t afford to upgrade to vB 6, I’d recommend you try an open-source alternative, such as Flarum or phpBB. Both are capable of being used on InfinityFree.

One unofficial site tells me that vBulletin 3.8 will not work on any PHP version newer than 7.2. Because we run PHP 8.2, it will not work on our hosting.
Besides that, I second what @EdwardHamHam said: upgrading to premium hosting is a workaround, but upgrading to a newer forum suite is recommended as a proper fix.
