I believe the problem here is a mixture of the FTP and PHP issues. It would be great to have some feedback from the admins but they seem to not want to show up.

My guess is that the Bizhat User Database was hacked through php. They weren't able to delucidate where the security flaw was in php and after some days of not knowing what to do they reset the User DB but disabled php to prevent future attacks. So, if I'm right, php won't be enabled as long as they don't find the flaw, which is really anoying, given that for many users, as for me, our sites rely on php and we chose Bizhat for that on the first place: free service with reliable php.
So once again I'm turned down by a free hosting service. I thought Bizhat could make the difference but it doesn't, or so it seems.

I guess I'll have to move to payed hosting, which I have always rejected to do. Or set up my own web server at home...we'll see.

Cheers!
