The best VPS providers for hosting a forum are: rockhoster.com (https://rockhoster.com/linux) and asvhost.com (https://asvhost.com/virtual-servers/), what do you think about these hosts?

On average, how much traffic do you expect each month?
All hosting service encounters problems from time to time, but I'm quite impressed with the resources warez-host.com puts into action to resolve issues quickly. I'm also impressed with their tech support. I just ended a session with their support and appreciated his technical knowledge and friendly demeanor.

Choosing a hosting plan depends on the size of your forum. If you are just starting then shared hosting would be the best for you. Later on you can upgrade to other plan depending on the traffic.
In terms of applications, you can consider vBulletin which is quite popular location for forum. In case, you can afford the license Simple Machines Forum (SMF) is an open source community software. Also, ensure that whatever plan you choose is secure since there are several attacks on forums.

You will be pleased dealing with Exmasters.com VPS hosting (https://www.exmasters.com/vps/virtual-private-servers/) provider.
Get Double RAM or HD space with any VPS or dedicated plan (using code "dbram" or "dbhdd").
It has been a great host for me. The sites I host are generally low-traffic.

I like Rockhoster OpenVZ VPS (https://rockhoster.com/linux) provider because it offers really fast hosting services.
Uptime and support have been excelent - they actually answer their emails, and within a few minutes.
