I have seen Linux/Unix cPanel hosting packages with 150gb limits, 10gb webspace, multiple domain parking for as low as £50 a year which for most forums should be ample as a starting platform, but then i have seen/known some people who are paying £70 a year just to host a 10 page site on an account that is no bigger than the "free" webspace you get with your ISP that can only run basic HTML & store a few images.

I haven't looked for a while but I think the site does ~200gb a month traffic rising to around 350 + in summer, but last time I looked was last year some time and it does go up every month.
