At work we host our own, but from home (For Guild Forum) I use
http://www.lunarpages.com/
and have done for the last year, never a problem and they keep adding to their features which is nice.

Our clan uses www.bbfweb.com 
haven't we been here before?
i use my own servers, more control and more flexibility!
the cost is the only downfall.
Server (with enough storage space)
Decent Firewall (Suggest Cisco Pix)
Router
Bandwith (how much!!!
)
Software (it's ok if your familiar with linux but windows
extra few hundred pounds)
it all adds up.

Hmm now perhaps it's me but don't you think that sneaking URL's into your sigs / posts is a little bit ...well forum spamming?
For those who don't know, it's when you put a link to the site you want to promote in your sig/post so that you get a "Backlink" from a site with good Google page rank and hence your site rates too.
For those who can't spot it...

Reason I mention it is that for those who use screen reader software for one reason or another (well one reason I guess- you cant see the screen all that well!!), it shows up as a link which you can't click, so as well as being spam it messes up the software too and you cant browse the page properly.

I not really sure, but I got a Gig of space with my ISP, Zen, and more or less unlimited space and a lotta bandwidth with my other (US) forum.
But like I said, not sure if that counts as hosting, I a little unknowing in this area, tbh.

I used eukhost.com - very reliable, helpful if you have any tech issues and prices were good enough for me.
