few questions for pre sales

[stevejustnew]

Hi am thinking of purchasing VB but have a few questions

I have never run a forum before so am very new , so treat me as the dummy that I am
thanks

1 I am thinking of purchasing VBulliten and paying for installation and 6 months of telephone support due to my complete lack of forum / php / Mysql knowledge but would also like to purchase the vBSEO Plugin to make Search Engine friendly URL's etc , would purchase of this plugin and installation void any 6 month phone support I purchased

2 I am unsure if my forum would be successfull so would just get shared hosting for the site , If the site did gain success would it be easy and fairly painless to move to a dedicated server

3 Is it fairly easy to configure templates to have a look and feel that would be consistent with my other site

4 Is it fairly easy to implement adsense on to a forum and would contextual advertising match page OK

5 Is there a minimum recommendation for hosting needs and what level of posters / members would a shared hosting package support

thanks very much

steve
