Thank you for your interest in the vBulletin Forum Software and for contacting vBulletin Sales.

vBulletin requires a web server that includes PHP (minimum version 4.3.3) and MySQL (minimum 4.0.16) installed. As long as you choose a host that meets these requirements you will be able to install and run our software.

Most credible hosts now support both php and MySQL, and can run our software. We do not make official recommendations, but we do have a hosting review forum here:

You can also look at http://www.webhostingtalk.com, an independent review site. Sometimes you will find hosting specials there that aren't available elsewhere on the web.
