That is more than enough for a forum. I'm sure it will run smoothly on the package specified.

It works; I have test forums running there.
It is worth while mentioning that they did not had the best uptime records last year (only about 99.7% on my count), and combined with the obvious overselling, you will see a lot of bashing form people.
It will, however, work none the less.

Also, if you are going to use ANY coupon code; please be forewarned that the coupon codes are generated by customers and should go all the way up to $97 off, or whoever made the code you're using is pocketing the difference. Customers can make coupon codes for anywhere form $0 off to $97 off for first year; which they pocket the difference of $97 - discount. Additionally, if you use any code, you automatically become their downline, so anyone you refer using your code, they will get $5 from it. I'm a customer, so I know these things ;)

Only a few webhosts measure MySQL database size and your total site size separately. 1&1 is one of the glaring examples.

I have a shared hostgator (Baby) account and I have no complaints, all of my questions have been answered within 10 minutes and ussaly resolved within 20 minutes. I have never experienced any downtime and the servers seem to be pretty fast.

There are coupons out there that can get you the first month for 1 cent so might as well give it a try for one month and see if you like it, 1 cent will not dig a deep hole in your pocket :)
