Below is what they had me do, and when I called in they said they were not responsible that it delete plesk, unreal.

Thank you for any help

This article describes how to upgrade to PHP 5.4 or PHP 5.5 on a CentOS 5 or CentOS 6 server.

1. First, detect if any PHP packages are installed:
   # yum list installed | grep phpIf packages are installed remove them, for example:
   # yum remove php.x86_64 php-cli.x86_64 php-common.x86_64 php-gd.x86_64 php-ldap.x86_64 php-mbstring.x86_64 php-mcrypt.x86_64 php-mysql.x86_64 php-pdo.x86_64
2. Add PHP 5.4 packages to yum using this command for CentOS 5.x
   # rpm -Uvh http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el5/latest.rpmOr, for CentOS 6.x:
   # rpm -Uvh http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm
   Now, you can check if the new PHP (5.4: php54w or 5.5: php55w) packages are available:
   # yum list available | grep phpOr, version specific search:
   # yum list available | grep php54
3. Next, install the new PHP 5.4 or 5.5 packages, for example when installing PHP 5.4 packages I used:
   # yum install php54w.x86_64 php54w-cli.x86_64 php54w-common.x86_64 php54w-gd.x86_64 php54w-ldap.x86_64 php54w-mbstring.x86_64 php54w-mcrypt.x86_64 php54w-mysql.x86_64 php54w-pdo.x86_64
   PHP should now be upgraded to the new version, you can verify with the command:
   # php -v
   PHP 5.4.17 (cli) (built: Jul 23 2013 00:02:04)
   Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
   Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies
4. Finally, restart the Web server:# service httpd restart

The problem with those steps was with the bit of REMOVE. It's the remove that deleted Plesk + any other services / applications that are hooked to PHP.
Of-course the only option you have is to install Plesk afresh with the auto-installer.

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller

Well that worked, Thank you!. Now I just need to figure out a way to get my php upgraded properly, I use joomla and new requirements need 5.3.10 and I have 5.3.3 any solutions for getting this done properly?

Upgrading to Plesk 12 will automatically upgrade your PHP.

Seems I have plesk 12
OSCentOS 6.3 (Final)
Plesk version12.0.18 Update #34,

yet still PHP 5.3.3

1and1 tells me: All of our dedicated Linux platforms have PHP 5.3 if you image it with Plesk.
