hey, how are you currently hosting the forum and how much traffic is there to expect?
maybe also interesting: where's your server located currently?
i've got a self-hosted server and a virtual one in a data center.
although i currently do not have much time (i'm writing two bachelor theses while also doing a mandatory internship) i could at least host the forum for now until i got more time
except of course there's somebody else who wants to take care of that
