Site wants to download index.php instead of view

Site wants to download index.php instead of view it when I go to my page at [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] . This is not a result of a local setting on machine as other users are having the same result when trying to view page. I have not done anything recently to site, could this be a hack or perhaps something wrong with my server?

That means that your server does know how to handle .php files. For example, in Apache you need to have a line like this in your http.conf file, or something similar.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php .php3 .htm .html

This site had been running for about a year now, this is the first time it has happened. Should I try my host?

Yep. They've made a change, possibly a new install of Apache or whatever and their config files are not correct.

This is the response from Ipower

There is currently an issue with PHP for the server that your domain
resides on. Our administrators are working to resolve this issue. We
apologize for any inconvenience.

Ipower web is out the door after it expires in a couple months.
I have had many issues with them.
