You are joking right
Even running vbulletin on cheap hosting will cause your hosts to start complaining about you using up to much CPU from other users on the server your sharing.

Running a forum isnt as easy as you think and takes some basic knowledge of the ins and outs or at the very least willing to learn.
I'm the firm believer of if your gonna do something do it right when it comes to hosting. Dont be tempted to get the cheapest hosting you can find as it'll only cause tears in the end.
I recommend starting of with VPS hosting with decent RAM, HD space you could easily get away with 10GB to start of with to see how your forum goes and if needed down the line move to a higher spec VPS or go the route of a dedicated server.

I have quite a few of the damn things. LOL The problems do not come until it gets busy.
It's very easy saying that when you know how but you try importing a SQL Database using phpmyadmin or SSH2 for the first time lol
