Why doesn't file_get_contents work anymore?

Question

PHP

Request - file_get_contents(" https://api.vk.com/method/users.get?v=5.60&user_id... ");
Gives errors -
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /var/www/ifitqsun/data/www/fotobattlenet.h1n.ru/index.php on line 22
Warning: file_get_contents( http://api.vk.com/method/users.get?v=5.60&user_id=... [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /var/www/ifitqsun/data/www/fotobattlenet.h1n.ru/index.php on line 22
Everything worked fine before.

Answer 1

Ask the hoster, maybe they turned it off.
