It was my understanding that it is the newer version, but not 100% sure. This shows under the site download on IPB
Current stable release: 4.7.8
As for the host - not really getting a lot of help, but it does look like it is PHP 7.4 and is their latest PHP.
Any suggestions for more up-to date hosts, other than paying an arm & leg for IPB hosting?
It's been a long time since I've been on the site so much has changed.
