Deals like Servage are great for websites (I use them myself) , however, depending on how big your forum is, it might be better to got with a VPS / VDS or even a dedicated server. I read an article somewhere , where it said that if you have a forum with more than 1000 users, you should switch to dedi box.

Yes, Servage is shared and shared hosting providers lie their head off all the time. A VPS or a dedicated server should be good, if you're making enough. If you're not, concentrate on monetizing those users.

For a starting forum, a virtual host would be good enough. Your forum only becomes bandwidth intensive if you allow users to upload heavy loading images (avatar, signature) using your existing webhost as host.

To prolong having to buy such a server, don't allow images in signatures. That's what I do. Took me years till I had to upgrade, and that was only because of traffic.
