Hey Paintbug .. I was at your spot a year ago, and I bought a Leased licance, and then after the year I paid the full price for the owned licance. Here is some info I could tell you ..
EZBoards in my eyes suck so yaeh you have come to the right place. As for how many databases you need, you only need 1. You can make them usauly with your hosts cpanel you get when you get hosting.
As for your new host, it depends on how big your board is. I belive there are converters, so you most likey can convert your ezboard to vB. If you have a small-medium sized bored, don't go crazy and get a dedicated server any pay 100s of dollars a month. I am really in beta making of my board and have the Gold plan over at F5-Hosting.com .. and it works fine. I am guessing you will open your board to the public soon and be different then me, so hostings your own choice.
Hope any of this helps, and if you want to any time you can reply or PM me.
