? when i say 'unmanaged' i meant, they don't run it... they install and maybe config everything for me when i request it as they love me
Anyway, i don't want to stay on shared hosting simply because its garbage.
Well, does any here know how to test these entries to hack a forum so we can fix it..
First thing: Check the server access logs
It'll pretty much tell you exactly what they did to gain access.
???? I was hacked when i was on shared hosting.. i am now with a different host and a server of my own. my passwords are all different if that matters and they are strong as even i have to look where i stored them to use them

So what's your problem now? You changed host so you don't have to worry about it much (as most probably your previous host got compromised).
Run a File verification test (Admin CP -> Tools and Maintenance -> File verification) and see if the hacker had planted something malicious in your files.
And make sure you have latest version of MyBB installed (1.6.6).
And if you have plugins installed, tell us the list.
To add, to make sure you don't bring any contaminated files from your previous host, install the MyBB fresh on the new host using a fresh download from the site here, don't use any of the old host's files as you can not be sure whats been affected. Then once the new forum is installed, merge the old forum's database in to the new forum. This way you can be sure that the files are all clean.

There is no such vuln scanner in MyBB other than file verification and templates check. As you now have your own server and root access, you might want to install available linux server addons to check for basic shells like c99 and such ones.
Also install mod security.
