<font color="Sienna">What is the average price for vBulletin hosting for 2 years? Where can I get this at?</font>

I don't think anyone can really answer this for you. You can look at hosting sites and get an idea, but it really depends on your forum and if it takes off or not. For instance, I started with a $20/month package. Within five months we were moved to our own dedicated server. I just did my site accounting and we have spent over $12K USD in four years on site related costs (hosting, remote backup, vbulletin licensing, domain registrations, etc). It really depends on your site.

Our site pays $199/month for a Dedicated 2x Xeon 3.06GHz 4GB RAM :up:

I currently pay 160$, but I buy it at Christmas, and there's always a discount

So I get it for 90$.

You don't need a dedicated box (server) for a forum, unless you're running other web applications.
http://www.bluehost.com are an excellent host, amazingly cheap, US based (afaik).

Offer basically unmetered storage also. (I have a few sites with them)

Cheers

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