vBulletin can be installed on GoDaddy's paid Linux Hosting only. It will not work on thier free or Windows based hosting.

Take a look at asmallorange, they offer a good service to run vBulletin. technically they have the right setup for it. They will give you SSH access and if you have any problems with things not working quite right that require php.ini changes, they are willing to do them for you at there end. Not many hosts will do this.

And to give you SSH access on shared host is good also, as again lots of hosts out there see it as a security risk and won't do it for you

Thanks for the info for the webhosting, I am reviewing them as this post closes.

best of all[atleast that is what i think] is www.startlogic.com (http://www.startlogic.com)

It is not really hard to install, although you could ask for proffessional installation!!
