Two web hosts one not working

    OK I am going nuts here because I am a noob at the hosting stuff. I bought a website and had my new hosting company move everything over to my new vps. My site worked for about a week and then just stopped (specifically stopped uploading photos correctly www.imageto.net), I still have access to the old host for a bit so I went in and did a full back up and then restored to my new host still the same problem. But when I point my nameservers back to the old host it works fine? I have had the new host load the GD database?(old owner told me to do this) and now they are loading curl. But if this does not solve the problem I am lost. Just wondering if anyone on here knows why a site would work with one host and not the other? And why it would work for a week and then stop? Seems odd to me but like I said I am a noob at hosting. Any advice would be great. Thanks

    I am not sure about this but may be your new server has got a different operating system because of which some functions are not working properly!

    Yeah, some features/operating systems might give you this, or different search paths to the functions you are calling.

    The fact that it worked for a few days, can it be that your computer had some dns cache still residing?
