Thanks Ray for the speedy response.
Have provided FTP access in Private message:
This was the response I got from Fasthosts engineers, btw I down versioned PHP to 5.6 from 7.0 but got the same results. In localhost I also got an Error 500.

Dear Mick,
Thanks for contacting us with your support enquiry.
Looking at it, this seems something to do with mysql_pconnect which is no longer supported with the current php versions you have. Please see link below.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-pconnect.php
You need to consider using other functions like MySQLi or PDP_MySQL. You can refer to the link below for the supported PHP settings.

In the meantime, if you still have any further concern, please let me know.
Best regards,
Agnes
