I use namecheap for mine, have been for about 4 years or so, they're pretty good.

One hosting plan does not fit all. Your request is near impossible as you will need to understand your forums requirements in order to operate. A big board is going to consume many more resources than say one that is just starting.

NameCheap, Hosting Gator, BlueHost, they are a dime a dozen these days.

Yes a new board can get away just fine on namecheap. I'm only on the stellar plan and it can handle my site getting:

90K unique visitors per month
5.6M total requests per month
and about roughly 50-60GB of bandwidth per month.

Hostgator I've tried and they couldn't handle my site neither could bluehost without saying it used too many resources, namecheap however, I've had no such issues with and that's with my traffic seeing double than what the other 2 did when I was with them.

That is why I recommend namecheap. So, who do you recommend, since that's the topic at hand here?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
