I host with lunar pages because I'm a bit new to serious web development and it was an easy way to get started. When I decided to purchase vBulletin, I was also concerned that I might need to move hosts immediatl, because lunarpages recommends NOT to use vB.
There are mixed responses from admins on their comm. boards regarding whether they would allow it on their servers at all, so i phoned them up and spoke with a tech. He said they do allow vB to run on their servers, and that many people do.
Their boards indicated that at some threshhold they will warn you that your forums have become too active for their shared servers. They do not specify exactly what level of activity prompts this action. The tech was cool though, and said: "At that point you've really graduated from lunar pages hosting anyway."
I use their e-commerce Voyager plan, and realize i'll have to move someday.
Right now I'm trying to get my forum off the ground, so i'm not really worried about this problem yet. I have an open question over in General Modification Discussion if you'd like to help me out.
