1) Yes, you can run vBulletin on free hosts, but it's not recommended.

2) Nope! You just get that feeling inside, knowing that you made the world a better place.

3) Yes

4) Yes

why is it that it's not recomended for me to run on freehosts? I think most people they see vB running on free hosts they report it on this website. Performance will be poor?

Well, first of all, with free hosts - support is very unlikely for you to recieve.

Let's say your host upgrades to PHP 4.2.3 (with the 'mbstring' extention) and you are using version 2.2.8 of vB. More that likely, you'll experience some problems due to a known bug. (with PHP)

The only way for you to fix that problem, would be to recompile PHP without that certain extention. Do you think a free host would do that for you?
